And now, the famous gorge — Saklikent!
Saklikent Gorge is the second longest canyon in Europe. But be warned before stepping into the water — it’s icy cold! You can jump in and explore the canyon on your own or with a private guide. Or, if the water is too cold for you, simply relax and enjoy the atmosphere at one of the riverside cafés with a hot tea or coffee. Okay… a cold beer sounds great too!

After exploring Saklikent Gorge, we’ll head to our restaurant located just 5 minutes away from the canyon for a delicious lunch.
Once we’ve enjoyed our meal, we’ll continue on to Yaka Village for the next part of our journey.
