Fethiye > What to do >Saklikent

  Saklikent   the longest canyon of Turkey with 17 km extension was discovered 15 years ago and formed with a collapsed 200 thousand years ago. Saklikent canyon has a fascinating view

You can reach the Saklikent Canyon by turning from Kemer district on the way of Fethiye – Antalya.

On the way to Saklikent many pancake sellers are available to fill your hunger.  You need to park your car to entrance of Canyon and pay a fee at entrance gate.

Streaming in canyon is too strong to walk in so wooden platforms are built over the stream to walk through the source of stream. You can take a seat in the restaurant located there and watch the flowing with a bubbling sound together with eating your pancake or fish.

If you like to walk through in the deep of the Saklikent canyon you can walk from this point . As the bottom covered with pebbles walking is almost impossible on bare foot so plastic shoes to bring recommended before you visit Saklikent canyon.

Do not be sad if you forget your suitable shoes to walk in stream , a shop available in Saklikent selling plastic shoes.

Canyon lengt is 18 km though walking through all canyon is so difficult and exhausting so i recommed you to walk  a few  hundred meters and get back.
