About This Activity

The tour begins with a scenic drive through the stunning landscapes of the Taurus Mountains. As you approach Sapadere Canyon, the lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and crystal-clear streams set the tone for a day filled with wonder. This natural gem is a hidden paradise, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply looking to unwind, Sapadere Canyon provides the perfect setting for your journey.

Once you arrive, you’ll embark on a leisurely walk along wooden pathways, designed to make your exploration easy and enjoyable. The pathway follows the canyon’s flowing waters, leading you to breathtaking views and serene spots. The highlight of your walk will be the magnificent waterfall at the end of the trail, where you can pause to take photos or dip your toes into the cool, refreshing waters.

After your canyon adventure, it’s time to recharge with a delightful meal at a lakeside restaurant. You’ll enjoy a variety of freshly prepared dishes, including barbecued chicken, meatballs, fish, pasta, salads, and fruits. The tranquil setting by the water makes this meal a highlight of the day, perfect for relaxing and reflecting on your experiences.

This tour often includes a visit to Alanya, where you can explore the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. From the Alanya Castle to the bustling streets, this stop adds a touch of historical and cultural flavor to your day.

Had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Special thanks to Mr. Mete, who reached out a day before via WhatsApp with all the pickup details and his contact number. The AC shuttle arrived right on time at 8:50 as promised. Our first stop was the Alanya cable car. Since it was early, there were no crowds, and we had 30 minutes to explore the castle at the top, offering stunning panoramic views of Alanya harbor and Kleopatra Beach. This part was optional. Next, we visited the Dwarf Cave, with a photo stop at a canyon viewpoint along the way. Then we had lunch at a restaurant just outside Sapadere Canyon. We spent about 1 hour and 15 minutes at the canyon, which was enough time. On the return, we stopped for an hour at Alanya market. We arrived back at our hotel by 18:30. Overall, it was a great experience, and the guide was both knowledgeable and kind.
