Saklikent Milli Parki, Fethiye

Very interesting, fun and unique place to hike or spend the day. Parking is 45Tl, entrance is 16Tl for adults. Just a bit after you enter, you will find a picnic and rest area where there’s food and drinks (meals, corn, ice cream, doughnuts, coffee/tea…)… lots of tables and benches in the water… and they also either sell or rent rubber shoes for the canyon (renting one pair is 60Tl). Honestly, we hiked the canyon barefoot and really enjoyed it, it wasn’t painful or unpleasant for us… but most people either rented/bought water shoes or wore street shoes. The water in the canyon is not deep, maximum knee height, otherwise barely any water (in summer). The water at the picnic area is absolutely ice cold because of fresh strong streams coming in. People have fun or bathe in the ice water, it’s exhilarating! Once you pass the turbulent cold water (there’s a rope to hold on to), then everything is calm and the water is warm. The canyon is about 1.5km… after that they recommend to go further only with a guide. Guides are waiting at the 1.5km point. I don’t know how much it is. At the very entrance of the park they offer free hard hats/helmets… most people don’t use one but you can if you want. The canyon gets more and more narrow and interesting as you go. The way back is the same way you go. It’s cool enough inside the canyon in summer, and I didn’t wear a hat or sunglasses. I recommend to put your phone in a waterproof case and to have a backpack. Have a swimsuit and towel too for the cold water bathing. We stayed there a while, maybe 4hrs… to sit and enjoy and also took many photos inside the canyon. I really recommend seeing this place it’s refreshing change from the beach and summer heat!

Lovely area. The views are amazing. Unfortunately no one was allowed to walk through the canyon due to the amount of water from the rain the night before. In hindsight, it's probably best to check the weather report not just for the day you travel on, but for the day(s) before you arrive. Parking was no problem. Entrance cost 10lira for locals and foreigners. The price is the same regardless of whether you can walk the canon or not. Take water shoes etc and packed lunch. Would love to return..

We went as a party of nine as part of a safari excursion. It was exhilarating, exciting and a bit of an adventure. When the water is high as it was after a couple of days of rain it is difficult to keep your feet in places. The water can be very powerful and extremely cold, crystal clear in places and literally like a mud bath in others. Take a spare set of clothes because you are going to get soaked, you will also need strong beach/water shoes or something sensible that won't come off your feet in the water. You can actually hire or buy these on site if you prefer. Prepare to get wet and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Visited in July. This was one of the highlights of my trip. I love valleys n ravines like these. It is doable with a baby on your back, passing through the gushing river, trekking through the canyon, it was beautiful and a lot of fun. Really cool / cold water hence perfect for hot summers. Alot of water activities available here too, plus great fish and natural pomegranate juice!!

It was fantastic. One of the best places to see the power of nature. 5 or 15 km long, if I am not wrong. First 500 meters, you can go without the instructor "with low risk for your health and your property". But there are a few disadvantages: drowned walls and very annoying guides: they try to stick to you even for the first 500 meters. For the all-way long, they want 750TL. For 500m - 50TL per person. I advise you to take closed shoes with which you can go to the river and which river won't take with a strong flow. Also, you will need a plastic pack where you will put your backpack or other your stuff and be calm about your property getting wet. Also you have chance to get down of the river with little personal round rafts. 200TL for a person. In my opinion, it doesn't worth it. It was pretty short "rafting" (~15min), very safe (the river is 60sm deep), and the flow was calm.
