What to expect

    1h 30m
    We pick you up from your hotel by bus between 08:15-09:00 in the morning and our tour begins.
  2. Saklikent Milli Parki
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    The view of Saklıkent Canyon, the first stop of our tour, will fascinate you. Words are not enough to describe this extraordinary natural phenomenon; Saklıkent manages to amaze even those who have visited this place before. The 13-kilometer Saklıkent Canyon, which was formed by melting snow on the peaks of Akdağ and heavy rainfall for thousands of years, is actually a relatively young geological formation. You can go as far as you dare in the canyon, or sit back on the riverside platforms and watch the view.

    Please wear Sensible/comfortable walking shoes. Take your swimwear and towels with you. Waterproof jacket (recommended in low season)

    After the Saklıkent Canyon section of our tour, after a short car ride, we go to Yaka Village (Yakapark) to have lunch at the restaurant of the trout farm. The sound of ice-cold water flowing under tree roots and stones and the cool atmosphere of this place will take you away from all the stress and troubles of modern life. After our lunch break, we set off towards Tlos with our vehicles.
  4. Tlos Ruins
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    It is not difficult to encounter something extraordinary at every step in the ancient Lycia region, which has the richest historical, archaeological and natural resources of southwestern Turkey. On the southern foothills of Akdağ (also known as Masisitus), there is Tlos, one of the best preserved ancient settlements to date. Words are not enough to describe the ruins of Tlos, which mother nature embraces with compassion. You will hear Pegasus and Chimera fighting on the castle hill (Acropolis), learn how the ancient Romans were healed in the Roman bath-hospital, feel the atmosphere of the Olympic Games and gladiator games in the stadium, access the secrets of Greek drama arts in the theater, and see human beings among many different graves in the old cemetery (Necropolis). You will understand the thoughts behind the desire to reach infinity.
