Our visit to Saklikent National Park was awesome! Even in the off-season, the folks there were incredibly friendly. They went the extra mile by providing us with river shoes, making it possible for us to explore the canyon in December. Kudos to the team for making our experience so enjoyable and accommodating!

The only "chill" part was the water – super, super, super cold! But it definitely added an adventurous twist to the experience. 🥳

A very unique and enjoyable experience. Definitely needs to be on the bucket list of anyone visiting Turkey.

Walking through the canyons is a surreal and humbling experience. Trust me when I say that no amount of pictures ever do justice to the magnanimity of the place.

Go ahead and experience it for yourself!

There are some great eateries at the entrance of the park. The souvenir shops are beautiful and have some really unique items not overly priced.

If you are adventurous then you can even enjoy a 5km river rafting experience

A great escape from the heat of sun during hot summer weather. Make sure you don’t miss this place as it is on the top of Ölüdeniz check list.
First 1000 m is accessible and easy for everybody but after that if you want to complete the journey, you have to walk and cross the water stream. There is a nice café inside where you can half hot and cold drinks, corns ice, creams, and snacks.

Excellent way to spend the afternoon, walking along the wall pathway into the Gorge/Canyon. It's an easy stroll, but being in the water. 🤔. ice cold and slippery boulders should you want to cross over to walk further into the canyon.Nice place to relax and chill out.The area around the Gorge has your usual trinket stalls, restaurant's,and some very nice chill out areas also, where you can loung around in the water.

A very beautiful place!
One moment spoiled the impression: in a difficult area, they charge for help. While you are trying to climb on a sliding stone yourself, the Turks will not give you a hand until you pay. Foreigners are examined from top to bottom and told the fee (ours was $ 30 per person). Unpleasant, turned around. It is better to raise the entrance fee to the canyon, build a staircase. This moment spoils the image of the place and people.

Sehr beeindruckendes Naturschauspiel und auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!
Allerdings unbedingt am besten kurz nach Öffnungszeit (aktuell 08.45 Uhr) anreisen, sonst wird es wirklich voll und man schiebt sich mit Menschenmassen durch die Schlucht.
Ab einer bestimmten Stelle stehen Tourguides, die je nach Laune ca. 15€ pro Person verlangen, um einen weiter zu führen. Es wird ab dieser Stelle auch tatsächlich unwegsam. Wir sind deshalb wieder zurück. Andere Besucher sind noch ein Stück weiter gegangen, kamen dann aber auch wieder zurück, weil Steine gefallen sind und es zu gefährlich war.
Da man immer wieder durchs Wasser geht (teils nahezu knietief), bietet es sich an, dies bei der Auswahl der Kleidung zu berücksichtigen. Außerdem sind Badeschuhe zu empfehlen, kann man vor Ort ausleihen oder kaufen.

Sehr schöner Ort zum verweilen und erkunden. Am besten bringt man wasserdichte Schuhe mit. Man kann aber auch welche gegen eine Gebühr leihen oder auch neue kaufen. Das Wasser hier ist sehr erfrischend und mutige können auch baden, aber das Wasser ist mit ca 12 Grad nicht gerade warm. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert.

Walking through the cold water on the floor of the gorge felt so good. Not a strenuous hike with only 2 places were a help to climb upon. It's not dangerous, so hiring a guide is pointless. The waterfall is the same. Nice little restaurants choose wisely for value for money. Many activities for hire. Definitely worth a visit before 0930 or after 3pm to avoid the tour buses

I would definitely recommend this place. The views are stunning, and they make you feel so small. 😅 the walk trail is pretty long itself, but if that's not enough, you could take an instructor and go further getting a bit of rock climbing experience. Just keep in mind- the price that the instructor gives you is never the last price... 😏😉

This is a beautiful place to go. My advice is to get there first thing and you need to wear surf shoes, def not flip flops.

It prob takes a good couple of hours to walk as far as you can in, then sit by the river and watch the people go down on rubber rings with a cool drink.

It was a very fun but dangerous adventure walking through the canyon. If you wanted to get to the canyon, you’d had to walk down in a very, extremely cold cascading water, running down from some slippery rocks. Once down you have to walk a bit through the canyon to get to the waterfall. Which was cool. However, to get to the actual waterfalls you needed a guide. an expensive one who decided, depending where you are from, how much you should pay. He told us we needed to pay €10,- per person (300 TL per person). We passed.

This is a deep canyon. You are walking over the suspension bridge to a water source. You can drink water from where the water comes out. A nice place to cool off on hot summer days. After that, you cross the river and start walking in the canyon. Be sure to have shoes suitable for walking in water. It is difficult to pass some places in the canyon. After a certain point, do not walk without professional support.
