Saklikent Gorge & Tlos Ancient City
About This Day Trips
This full-day adventure combines natural wonder and ancient history. Start at Saklikent Gorge — at 18km long and 300m deep, it is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Wade through the icy turquoise river between towering rock walls, with wooden walkways and rope assists for the trickier sections. After the gorge, visit the ancient Lycian city of Tlos with its rock tombs, Roman theatre, and acropolis with panoramic views. Finish with a traditional lunch at a riverside restaurant.

Saklikent was like another world. Walking through the canyon with water up to our thighs was exhilarating. Tlos ruins were fascinating too.

The gorge is genuinely breathtaking. Bring water shoes and prepare to get very wet. Tlos had incredible views from the top.
