Full description
Your day begins with a relaxed morning pickup from your Alanya hotel, where our air-conditioned coach is waiting to carry you away from the coast and up into the rugged folds of the Taurus Mountains. As the sea fades behind you, the road climbs past banana groves, terraced gardens and sleepy Yuruk villages where time seems to stand still. Your guide shares stories of mountain life while the air grows cooler and pine-scented, building anticipation for the hidden gorge ahead.
At Sapadere you step onto a 750-metre wooden boardwalk that hugs the sheer canyon walls, with crystal-clear water tumbling beside you and shafts of sunlight piercing the narrow gap overhead. The path leads you past thundering little waterfalls to natural pools so vivid and turquoise they look unreal, where you can wade or take a heart-stopping dip in the spring-fed water. Nearby, the legendary Cave of the Lovers waits to be explored, its cool chamber adding a touch of local romance and mystery to your adventure through this geological masterpiece.
After working up an appetite, you settle in at a charming riverside restaurant where tables sit right beside the rushing stream and grilled local trout is the star of the menu. There is time to relax in the shade, sip Turkish tea and soak up the soothing sound of running water before the comfortable drive back down to Alanya in the late afternoon. You will return sun-kissed, refreshed and full of stories from one of the most beautiful natural escapes the region has to offer.
