SAKLIKENT
High in the mountains above Fethiye, rushing torrents of
icy cold water cut a narrow gorge through the mountains
over thousands of years, creating Saklikent Gorge.
A natural wonder, the resulting canyon is 300 metres
deep and 18 kilometers long and offers visitors one of
the most breathtaking excursions in all of Turkey.
Saklikent Gorge has walls reaching a height of 300
metres. Saklikent in Turkish means "Hidden City"..
The walls are so high that they cut out most of the
sunlight and the fresh spring waters that flow through
are freezing cold!.
A cool refuge on hot summer days, Saklikent Gorge is a
favourite picnic spot where rustic restaurants
overhanging the river serve delicious fresh trout and
other local delicacies.
