45 km from Fethiye, there is one interesting "miracle" of nature - the Saklikent Gorge. Its length is about 18 km, but only 2 km is available for tourists, the height of the rocks is 200-300 meters, and a river with cold mountain water flows below. In fact, the path through the gorge turned out to be difficult, slippery stones, water somewhere hides the foot, and somewhere up to the waist, in places it was necessary to climb large stones with a rope. Coral slippers were even poorly protected from sharp pebbles. But the views are certainly magnificent.
We were in October , the waters at the beginning of the journey are above the ankle , then in places you can not walk on water . The place is impressive. It 's not always possible to look at the canyon from above . Here is a great opportunity to be at the bottom of the canyon and walk to such a depth that a narrow strip of sky remains. The hike is not for everyone, my friend could not stand the cold water at the very beginning and did not go, but I calmly overcame all the stone obstacles on the way in flip-flops on thick soles. My husband was wearing flip-flops with thin soles and felt every stone talking . But the greater discomfort is from slippery clay, so you should not rush and look at your feet, although the views are amazing
A bomb site. Really. Gorgeous views, quiet, peaceful place. We were there in September, just the thing for walking. If you go earlier, you will have to go to the ford. I recommend.
A super tourist place. Be prepared that you will meet 1000 tourists like you who came to see the canyon. Water and rocks looking beautiful. The coolest thing will stop on the way at roadside cafes. There you will be offered delicious homemade dishes, figs from the garden and very tasty tea or homemade lemonade.
A very beautiful canyon, located in a convenient location. Nearby there are restaurants and paid parking in the area of 100 liras
If you plan to walk through the canyon itself, I recommend taking a comfortable pair of shoes, because there is water in the canyon itself. Be sure to wear a helmet - a stone or something else may fall on your head from above
It's a very beautiful place. And the infrastructure is well developed. There are benches inside, and rubber slippers are also sold inexpensively, if you suddenly want to walk in the water along the river.
The guides probably do not warn that the water in the canyon is very cold, so after visiting, prepare at least for a runny nose.
However, it is very beautiful and exciting.
I Definitely Recommend It.
It is mandatory to visit, but definitely not as part of an excursion tour. You need to go yourself, since the length of the canyon is 18 km, excursions go along the first 300 meters, where there is a tavern and bridges are laid. You will have to walk knee-deep in dirty water, often climbing over rocks, so shoes are definitely not sandals. But about a kilometer from the entrance, the walls of the canyon almost converge and you walk almost like in a cave. The height of the walls is 200 meters. The views are amazing and it's not hot.
The canyon is very ugly. We arrived early, while it's not hot. To walk through the canyon, you need to cross the river, the water is icy, but we did it! Very beautiful. There is a place of Turkish cuisine. Interesting territory. You can go rafting on cheesecakes along the river. I recommend it!
Great views, but lots of people.
Parking is paid, but you can park your car for free at one of the many restaurants at the entrance if you have lunch with them. And so they did. The passage through the canyon is forded. In places, the water is above the knee. The bottom is mostly stacked with large stones, shoes need to be chosen accordingly.
It's a very beautiful place. There are many places where you can take photos. One of the disadvantages is that there is icy water when descending into the gorge. And so I advise everyone to visit there.
One of the advantages is a beautiful view,
Of the cons: icy water on the way to the canyon, the crowd of tourists is crowded. If the canyon is on the road, then you can stop by to see, but I would not go there specifically.
We went to the end of May, a wonderful place in nature, you should definitely choose materials that you can slide on your feet in water, mud and easy to reach, if you are unprepared, you can rent from there
A cool walk along the river , beautiful , not a burden

Admission is 40 liras (payment in cash only). It is better to arrive early before the sightseeing tours arrive. Fethiye can be reached by public transport in 1.5 hours. The sign on the bus is Saklykent.
I really liked it. Only work in the fall until 18. Lay down 3 hours for a hike and be sure to have comfortable flip-flops with brakes. Walking barefoot is very slippery.
