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.
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.
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
