Starting Point at Koprulu Canyon
Your day kicks off at Koprulu Canyon, one of Turkey’s most scenic natural spots. The setting is peaceful, with lush greenery and the sound of rushing water. This is where your adventure begins—by donning your equipment and meeting your guides, who are there to ensure everyone feels safe and has fun.
