Full description
The adventure begins early in the morning around 08:20 as we collect you from your hotels starting in the Gündoğdu region of Side. Embark on a scenic 110 kilometer journey towards the majestic Taurus Mountains in the Alanya Demirtaş district. Along the way, we take a comfortable rest break where you can stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab an optional breakfast to fuel up for the day. As we leave the coast behind, the landscape transforms into lush green forests and towering peaks, building the excitement for the natural wonders that await you.
Upon arriving at Sapadere Canyon, you will find yourself in a breathtaking hidden paradise. We offer two flexible tour packages, allowing you to choose whether the canyon entrance fee is included or kept as an optional extra. The heart of this experience is a magnificent 1 kilometer wooden walking path suspended directly above the rushing river. As you hike deeper into the canyon, you will be surrounded by towering rock walls and the soothing sound of flowing water. The ultimate reward lies at the end of the trail, where spectacular cascading waterfalls create natural, ice cold swimming pools. For those brave enough to embrace the chill, diving into these crystal clear waters offers a refreshing and truly unforgettable experience amidst stunning scenery.
The journey continues with an opportunity to visit the nearby Cüceler Cave, widely known as the Dwarves Cave. While the entrance to this fascinating underground world is an optional extra, its stunning stalactites and stalagmites are highly recommended for nature enthusiasts. After building up an appetite from walking and swimming, we will serve a delicious included lunch in the Alanya region, accompanied by our knowledgeable local guide who will share the secrets of the area. Following a perfect day of nature, adventure, and relaxation, we will provide a comfortable and smooth transfer back to your hotel in Side, leaving you with incredible memories.
