Leave the crowds behind and spend a full day in the Taurus Mountains on a Sapadere Canyon tour from Alanya. The drive takes you through countryside lined with banana and avocado plantations. Your first stop is a historic stone bridge and a traditional gözleme house, where you can try a Turkish favourite. There is free time to swim in the refreshing river or simply relax in the quiet surroundings.
Next you visit Cüceler Cave, also known as the Dwarves Cave, where you can explore impressive rock formations and unique natural chambers. Then you head into Sapadere Canyon, known for its wooden walkways, crystal-clear mountain water, waterfalls and natural swimming pools. You have about an hour to walk through the canyon, take photos and cool off with a swim.
The day ends at the Dim River, where a freshly prepared lunch is served at a riverside restaurant. Afterwards you can swim or relax by the water. Expect a lively atmosphere, as water fights are part of the fun during the day. The tour suits families, couples and groups of friends who want a mix of nature, adventure, relaxation and local culture.
