Saklikent gorge from Belek

Saklikent is located 40 km east of Fethiye. The canyon was built for thousands of years by the washing out of the rock by the river. It is the longest gorge in Turkey, with a length of 18 km. The height of the rocks above the Yeshen River reaches 200-300 meters. Sheer cliffs form bizarre boulders, then approaching, then diverging at the river.

At the beginning of the route, comfortable wooden decks are built over the channel along the cliff. Therefore, everyone can admire the majestic beauty of the canyon. The views around will delight even experienced travelers. Further, the road is less convenient and more suitable for people with good athletic training.

Being at its depth, surrounded by high rocks, a person feels himself in a parallel dimension.
