Saklikent canyon; It was formed as a result of the erosion of the rocks by the flowing waters for thousands of years. Since the water level rises during the winter months, visitors can only enter the canyon from the deeper parts in summer, all year round. 4 km of the canyon can be walked after April when most of the snow in the Taurus Mountains melts and moves towards the Mediterranean.
The water is very cold, quite cold even in summer.
