MORE ABOUT THE TOUR

• Rafting – rafting on a mountain river on inflatable boats or kayaks. Among all extreme sports, rafting is considered the safest and most accessible, even for untrained people. For tourists, this is a great way to add variety to their beach holidays, have a good and fun time.

• Vacationers in such resort cities of Turkey as Antalya, Kemer, Alanya, Belek and Side go to the Kepryulu Canyon National Park near the Beshkonak village of Manavgat, which is located 90 km from the center of Antalya, to participate in rafting.
• The Kepryulyu Canyon National Park was founded in 1973 and covers an area of 366,140 hectares. The reserve got its name due to the canyon of the same name formed by the Kepryuchai River between the villages of Beshkonak and Balasan. In the Republic of Turkey, the Köprülu Canyon is considered the largest. Its length is 14 km, and its height reaches 100 meters. In places, the walls of the gorge are almost impossible to climb.
• The Kepryuchay River, or Kepry, originates in the Taurus Mountains and, passing through natural canyons, filling with groundwater from them, flows into the Mediterranean Sea south of the city of Serik. Its length is 183 kilometers. Being a full-flowing spring, with a strong enough current, both in summer and in winter, Kepryuchai is ideal for rafting and other water sports on it.
• It is worth noting that the Köprülü Canyon National Park is one of the most beautiful natural recreation areas in Turkey. On its territory there is the largest natural cypress forest in the entire Mediterranean region, with an area of 400 hectares. Its rich fauna includes 48 rare and endangered species. Of these, 44 species are found only here, i.e. they are endemic species; 5 species are on the verge of extinction on a global scale; 4 species on a national scale; 39 species are endangered in Europe.
• In the reserve, you can watch a mountain goat and a black salamander, admire how the Anatolian scavenger and the white-headed barn owl soar in the sky.
• Many historical and archaeological monuments, such as castles, aqueducts, roads and ancient bridges, have also been preserved here. For example, the most famous among tourists is the ancient Roman bridge Oluk, connecting two parts of the canyon Kepryulyu. It can be safely called a kind of entrance and a visiting card of a natural park.
• To the west of the Kepryuchai River, in a mountainous area, there are ruins of the ancient city of Selge, which was founded in the 5th century BC. Not much remains of the once majestic city now: the ancient theater, agora, cisterns, aqueducts, temples of Zeus and Artemis.

• At the appointed time, the bus picks up tourists from their hotels and takes them to the rafting center, which is located in the Keprulyu Canyon National Park.
• At the rafting center, you can change into a change of clothes or swimsuits.
• You will be given all the necessary protective equipment (helmet, life jacket) and an introductory safety briefing.
• The starting point is 10 km from the rafting center, where you will go by vehicles. After the arrival of tourists, they are divided into teams of 6 to 8 people, depending on which inflatable raft your team got. At the head of each team is an experienced instructor who will explain how to sit in a boat, how to row, how to overcome certain obstacles, how to behave in case of falling into the water and how to wait for help in the water.
• After completing all the preparations and training, the rafting on the river itself begins.
• Rafting in Turkey along the Kepryul canyon has the 2nd, sometimes the 3rd level of difficulty. The route is suitable for both beginners and advanced rafters. The net time spent on the water is approximately 2 hours. You have to overcome a segment of 14 kilometers. However, it will be divided into two parts – 7.5 kilometers each with rest breaks of 15 minutes and 30 minutes.
• After arriving at the finish line, our tourists will have a delicious and hearty lunch consisting of dishes of national cuisine, rest and swimming in the backwaters of the river.
• Upon returning to the raft center, you can view videos and photographs taken by the photographer and, if desired, purchase them.
