Sapadere Canyon
Sapadere Kanyonu
A narrow canyon deep in the Taurus Mountains, with a wooden boardwalk following the stream for about 750 meters past small waterfalls and emerald pools.
Sapadere Canyon lies in the mountains about 45 kilometers east of Alanya and opened in 2008. Wooden boardwalks and paths follow the stream about 750 meters into the canyon. Steep rock walls rise on both sides, and the water is clear and icy. Along the way are several small waterfalls, and at the end, a large waterfall feeds a pool where swimming is possible, though the water is very cold. There is a restaurant and parking lot near the entrance. It is about 1 hour by car from the city center, and the mountain roads have many curves. You can also join a jeep day tour, which often includes a visit to a mountain village.
