Comment: Lykian Way creuse la rivière (descente)
Approach: From the car at the top, continue on foot along the road (Lycian Way - there are markings here and there). After 500 meters, the track turns to the left (N36.674352°/E30.463119°). The fork straight ahead is a mistake! 50 m further on, turn right at the fork. Now follow the path along the slope for a good 1.1 kilometers until you reach a conspicuous trail marker on the rock on the left (N36.679216°/E30.469589°). Instead of following the track, we take the short, marked and clearly recognizable path through the forest on the right. It later crosses the piste again after 600 meters further down (E30.676512° N36.676512°) and after another 500 meters the path meets the access piste again (N36.675518°/E30.479078°). Continuing on, it finally exits after a good kilometer at the stream. Climb over boulders into the streambed (N36.678231/E30.486934). The access - sketched on a Google Earth sat. map - can be found in the photos (Cwiki).
Tour: see photos and video ! At the end of the gorge there is now (in 2014) an artificially created backwater on which dinghy rides are offered. You can therefore expect a longer swim here on the descent.

Comment: deuxième sortie (descente)
Return: An organizer has set up camp at the exit of the gorge. If you want to end the tour here, take the orographic path on the right that leads out of the canyon near the stream - about 3 km to the parked car. Alternatively, the tour can also be continued as a hiking canyon with small climbs. After about1200 meters, at a ford, the tour finally exits. Turn left here onto the dirt road and back to the car below (you may be charged at the gate by the organizer of this "amusement park").

Comment: possible sans 4x4 (année 2011) (descente)
Access: From Kemer, take the highway-like E90/D400 highway to (north) Göynük. At the traffic circle (traffic lights) turn left to the west into Cumhuriyet Cd, and after 450 meters turn right into Kurtulus Cd, which also has two lanes. Continue straight ahead for 1.5 km in a northerly direction. The road becomes one-way, then leads over a wide river bed, turn left into the riverside road (Kanyon Yolu) and park a vehicle there after 1.1 kilometers on the left in front of a fence-lined section of road, at the latest before the barrier.\n\nTake the second car to the parking entry about 40 km away: Take the 'Kanyon Yolu' canyon road back again - 2.3 km eastwards - to the E 90/D 400.

After passing an old bridge, turn right over the stream (ford or new bridge) and bend up to Gedelme (7.1 km), turn right at the T-junction in the village (mosque) and drive towards 'Ovacik'. After 6.5 kilometers - previously an oval racecourse on the right, then a few buildings - turn right into the narrow tarred road. (After 4.4 kilometers, turn right again (E30.455228° N36.666607° ) onto a road with a wall on the left-hand side. The road now leads through denser forest. After 0.9 kilometers you cross a streambed (ford).

There is also the option of walking along the Lycian Way directly from the parking lot of the lower car orographic. right bank through the mountains directly to the entry. You will probably have to pay a fee to enter the fenced-off area. Then follow the Lycian Way first up to a ridge (680m alt.), then down the other side into a side valley of our canyon (270m alt.), then up again a few meters (up to 360m alt.), to then cross our canyon right at the entry. Estimated walking time until then 4-6 hours. Walking passages 12 km. I have linked a description of the entire parts of the Lycian Way, almost twice the distance, in Turkish. Language I have linked.

Approach: From the car at the top, continue on foot along the road (Lycian Way - there are markings here and there). After 500 meters, the track turns to the left (N36.674352°/E30.463119°). The fork straight ahead is a mistake! 50 m further on, turn right at the fork.

Instead of following the track, we take the short, marked and clearly recognizable path through the forest on the right. It later crosses the piste again after 600 meters further down (E30.676512° N36.676512°) and after another 500 meters the path meets the access piste again (N36.675518°/E30.479078°).

Kibris sup. (I): Canyon Start
Approach: On the left bank, a clear path leads down to the stream, where it disappears between the rocks (entry).
Tour: We take turns walking in and next to the water, climbing down a few steps and "completing" 9 rappels. The highlight is a natural window through which we rappel.

Kibris sup. (I): Canyon End
Return: If you do not know the exit, it will be difficult to find it with a description. Therefore, it seems expedient to go downstream after the 9th rappel until you see a bridge about 10m above you. From the bridge go back about 30m and upstream, then you will find the exit on the right (orographic. left - east). It is hard to see if there are no fixed ropes hanging down (from commercial operators).

Kibris sup. (I): Parking at Exit
Access: From Sütlegen first to the parking exit. Follow the signs for Ermali on the main road in a north-easterly direction. 2400 m after leaving the central square in Sütlegen, turn right downhill from the main road. 500 m further on, turn left at an acute angle and again 480 m slightly downhill at the junction on the right. Now almost another 300m, then we park the car for the exit on the right on the open space in front of the last houses. Take the second car back to the main road and turn right. After 2.9 km we reach the point where the Kibris crosses under the dam in a pipe culvert on which the road walks. North of the road we see an old mill. We park our second car here.

Hacioglan: Canyon Start
Approach: We now follow the track along the orographic right bank of the stream downhill in an easterly direction. Where the track turns away from the stream and begins to climb, we take the forest path to the left and always follow the stream. Several crossings of the stream follow, the path becomes a goat track and finally gets lost. Then we come to the first narrow section between solid rock and a longer swim. Here begins the actual canyoning route.
Tour: Also a lot of walking after the first swim, but in the last third attractive ambience with some possible jumps.

Comment: (descente_2)
Access: From Kas we take the state road 400 in the direction of Antalya. After about 7 km, shortly before reaching the village of Agilli, we take a sharp left turn off the 400 towards Orttakuyu and the ancient town of Phellos (brown sign). After about 1 km, a small tarred road turns off to the right in a northerly direction (towards Pinarbasi). We pass through Pinarbasi and reach the heights about 7 km after turning off the 400. Now it's another 3 km downhill and we drive through Dereköy. 50 m after the mosque on the right-hand side we come to the bridge over the Hacioglan. We park the lower vehicle here. We continue with the second vehicle on the orographic left bank of the Hacioglan and reach Ugrar 6 km after Dereköy. We keep left here and turn left a little further north in the direction of Sinneli. We drive through a small settlement (Cataoluk) on the western edge, turn left before Sinneli and the new road takes us up the northern slope high above the river Hacioglan. After a good 8 kilometers, we turn left off the new road, reach the scattered settlement of the same name (around 25 km from Dereköy) and drive down to the river. We park the second car at the bridge.
Return: After crossing the final rock bar, follow the stream to the road bridge. About 200m before the bridge you can already go out to the right on a dirt road.

Bozudere (superiore): Canyon Start
2024-04-12: Almost a fun canyon with lots of slides and possible jumps
2024-03-16: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Monstercanyon (supérieur) Débit allant de 20l/s au départ et 100l/s à l'echappatoire. Ça commence tranquille avec pas mal d'obstacles ludiques...
Approach: On sight we keep - first slightly left , then in a wide right turn - towards the streambed. We come to a shallow widening of the streambed, where no slope needs to be downclimbed (entry - GPS: 36°28'46.36 "N 29°25'35.92 "E).
Tour: We quickly reach the gorge and the first rappel of a total of 15. The water is milky cloudy, especially at the beginning, so every potential jump and slide (about 6 each) must be checked for suitability. The stream winds its way between smooth walls. After about 35 minutes (from the start), a side stream flows in from the right, almost doubling the water flow. About 100 minutes after our start in the stream, we came to a clearly recognizable (trail) exit option on the right. About 10 minutes further on in the stream you can see a wooden footbridge above you. At the exit of the first part, the canyon widens and trees grow in the gravel bed. Here you will find the exit to the left after the first part. For a possible further descent in Bozudere inferiore, see the description there.

Return: At first pathless up the wide cirque we soon come across a clear track and a gate. Then we can look down into the Saklikent canyon from a saddle on the other side. At the top we find a dirt road, which we leave at the edge of a row of trees to the left onto a smaller dirt road, in order to get to the well and the car.

Access: First, head for the canyon exit of the Saklikent canyon. If you want to walk the upper and lower parts of the monster canyon combined, park the car here for the exit.\nFrom here now (if necessary with the second car) drive the road in northern direction. After 2.7 km turn right and drive uphill towards Arsaköy. After 6.1 km uphill we meet a road coming from the north and continue on it to the right in a southerly direction. After another 3.6 km we leave the road to Arkasöy and turn half-right (GPS: 36°30'24.75 "N 29°26'25.56 "E). We follow this road in southwestern direction. After about 1.8 km we come to a T-junction (GPS: 36°29'43.72 "N 29°25'47.79 "E) and turn right here. After 100 m the road turns to the left, 270 m further on the road makes a left turn - straight ahead a side road leads, on the righthand side an elongated hall - and 570 m further on (GPS: 36°29'19.59 "N 29°25'56.43 "E - covered bus shelter) we turn half-right. We now continue another 570 m slightly downhill. Here - GPS: 36°29'7.36 "N 29°25'59.65 "E - we turn left at a right angle onto a dirt road. After 620 m the track crosses "our" brook, the Bozu. We now continue above the stream in a southwesterly direction. After 440 m (from the bridge) we stay right at a fork (near the stream). Again 820 m further on we see a well on the left side of the path. Here (GPS: 36°28'46.59 "N 29°25'42.35 "E) we park our car.
Return: At first pathless up the wide cirque we soon come across a clear track and a gate. Then we can look down into the Saklikent canyon from a saddle on the other side.

Approach: The descent to the stream takes place before the Gül Market down the tarred road on the right. Then you have to look for the most convenient access to the concrete streambed. The first option is blocked by a wire fence, but you can open it from the left if necessary, as it hangs loosely in the bushes here. The next access point is after the road dip. Before the small house, follow the path that leads steeply down to the right into the streambed after a few meters.
Tour: Once in the concrete bed of the stream, we follow it and the subsequent clear tracks, first on the right and later on the left side of the stream. We come to the final entry at a prominent tree and a massive iron anchor on a large boulder in the middle of the stream. The first rappel begins here (40m), followed by a diagonal rappel (20m - belay on the right) to the belay above the high and wide wall (left). The rappel here was also in 2015 (end of the year) from a combination of roots and branches of a tree. Even on our first ascent (in 2010), it was too unsafe for us to place an anchor in the brittle tufa. In 2024, the stand was fine. Now you descend about 55m and come to a plateau-like ledge. There is now an alternative here to continue the descent. We took a route on the right-hand edge of the ledge, which is at best wetted by the water flow and the anchor is slightly below the ledge on the right. The rappelling routes here are also around 55m. Alternatively, there is a direct descent from this ledge directly along or in the main watercourse. An anchor should be available, a rope protector is advisable in case of doubt. The abseil height here should - estimated ! - should be around 45m. This is probably the more athletic option. The further descent then takes place together again over iron steps and secured on massive fixed ropes. Even a "half-shoe tourist" can climb up to the last waterfalls. The ambience with the steep and high walls and chutes is impressive. Finally, you reach the bottom of the valley and walk out to the beach on pleasant paths.

Return: The way back up to "George House" on the canyon rim is on the orographic left-hand side of the valley, starting at a wooden swing gate in a small stone wall and is signposted. For people who are sure-footed and have a head for heights, there are no difficulties on the ascent. More exposed passages are secured with ropes. You should still have something to drink here. Up to George House, there are constantly impressive views of the canyon exit and out to the beach and the sea. In 2024, there was a prohibition sign at the start of the descent (repair work), but there was nothing similar to be seen from below at the start of the ascent. Alternatively, during the tourist season, there is the option of being picked up from the beach by boat. This takes the canyonist to Olüdeniz and costs 400 TL (2024). In this case, a second vehicle in Olüdeniz would make sense.

Access: From the town of Fethiye on the southern Aegean, we drive about 12 km south to Olüdeniz, a tourist stronghold beautifully situated on a bay with a lagoon and sandy beach. Towards the exit, the road descends steeply into the village. Where it begins to level out again - about 400m before reaching the coastal promenade - we turn left onto Kidiral CD towards Faralya. The road initially walks towards the slope and, as soon as it reaches the foot of the slope, turns right and heads south, gradually ascending along the coast (beautiful view of Olüdeniz). About 3.4 km after turning onto Kidiral CD, we drive around a large hotel complex located directly on the coast. The road now climbs steeply, partly in serpentines, and after a total of almost 8 km we reach the canyon rim above the Kelebekler Vadisi. The road branches off here, we keep to the right along the canyon rim and reach the sparsely built-up hamlet of Faralya 1.9 km after this fork in the road. We can park our car in a suitable place at the signs for "Tizar Mah". Alternatively, the parking area of "George House" can be considered for our car. However, you should contact the operator of the restaurant beforehand. This parking lot has the advantage of being We follow the signposted turn-off to the right down to "George House". In this case, you have to walk back along the road to the start of the descent to the stream.

The first option is blocked by a wire fence, but you can open it from the left if necessary, as it hangs loosely in the bushes here. The next access point is after the road dip. Before the small house, follow the path that leads steeply down to the right into the streambed after a few meters.

Kibris inf. (II): Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the dirt road to the left past the last house in the OSE direction and keep directly towards the canyons. Upon reaching the canyon rim - a homestead on the left - the trail swings to the right at a 90 degree angle and now walks along the orographic right edge of the canyons for a good 100 meters. Then it turns left down into the slope above the canyon. We follow it downhill to the wooden bridge over the Kibris. Before the path goes up in an arc to the right on the far bank, we look for a narrow rocky ridge on the left that runs towards the canyons. From there, after a few meters, the access leads down to the right into a steep chute and to the riverbed (entry). If necessary, you can also rope down from the tree here.
Tour: Hike up the riverbed to the only rappel, which we reach after about 20 min. We rappelled to the right of a tree in 2ß11 and 2015. We then continue on a river walk until we are challenged once again in the narrow final passage, depending on the water flow.

Kibris inf. (II): Canyon End
Return: About 70 m after the canyon exit we get off to the right and look for a path in the lower bank, which is repeatedly interrupted here by some slope slides. Once we have picked it up, we first follow it southwards upwards above the river. It then curves around the slope and above a side stream in a southwesterly direction, moving steadily and pleasantly uphill. We then left this path and went up - pathless - to the right. This brings us to a meadow area, at the southeastern edge of which begins the dirt road that leads us successively to 2 farmsteads and finally to the car.

Kibris inf. (II): Parking at Entry
Access: From Sütlegen, we first drive two cars to the parking exit. After leaving the central square in Sütlegen, we take the main road in a southerly direction (signposted Kalkan). After 1350 m, we turn left at a sharp angle. We follow the narrow road downhill and after another 900 m turn left onto a road that walks along the slope at about the same height. Another 300 m further on, we turn right downhill from this road. We follow the road downhill, keep left at a fork (after about 620 m) and then continue for about 2 km. There the road crosses a small stream and emerges onto a meadow. Park the car here for the exit. We could drive another 270 m to the exit of the road, but we don't want to restrict the working area of this farm. Now we take the second car back and drive up the access road. After 2.6 km, we reach the road again, which runs along the slope at about the same altitude, and follow it for a distance of 2470 m. Then we turn off the road at an open angle downhill to the right. Now descend slightly for 480 m and turn right at the junction. Now almost another 300 m, then we park the car for access on the right in the open area in front of the last houses (loudspeaker on wooden pole). This is the same parking lot as for the exit from Kibris superior.

As there is only a short distance between the entrance to the canyon and the first descent, start the descent from the bridge. * If there are no problems, the canyon can be done with one night of camping by moving quickly with a team of 4 people. * The first parts of the canyon are a river walk and the wall height is not high. * The factor that makes even the easiest movement in the canyon difficult is the swamp. * In some places it sinks to waist height. * From the moment you enter the bottom of the canyon, you must continue through the swamp and the traps it creates until you reach the exit. * Don't skip it just because it's soft here. Because there may be rocks directly below the swamp appearance. As you descend with one step, you may step on a muddy surface with a rocky bottom with the other step. * Be careful with each step to avoid foot fractures or sprains. * Horizontal and vertical localized fractures are slippery layers. These are the cracks and crevices you will see on the walls in the canyon. These points can shift, especially in wet conditions and light vibrations. * You can see these cracks in many parts of the canyon. * There are huge rocks between the walls of the canyon. * The canyon has wind corridors, especially from the first part onwards. * A beautiful waterfall flows in the cave. * After the 6th descent, the canyon takes the form of a narrow channel and you have to walk through the waterfalls and swim in water that is more than high in places. * The mud in the canal after the 6th descent is quite difficult for the athletes. * After leaving the cave after the 6th descent, the first valley form begins. * After the 6th descent, you can exit the canyon by bypassing a point in the valley form. After entering the valley after the 6th descent and after about an hour of walking with 4 people, the exit is located where the top of the right wall of the canyon has the shape of an arch. If you look at this slope from below, the right side is a steep slope. First you go up from there, where the water has shaped the marble and makes it look like a step. Then you reach the most difficult steep climb through the trees. Once you have conquered this difficult ascent, you will find the goat path and leave the canyon. There are fields behind the hill and it is very close to the village. Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point * After the 15th descent, the second valley form begins and there is a landslide area, so be careful. * Since the anchors at the stations were destroyed by floods and rocks and there was no previous technical report on the canyon, natural stations were favored as much as possible to use the 25 anchors next to us sparingly. * Canyon anchoring will be done in the future. * For accommodation before and/or after the canyon pass, you can choose the tree houses, bungalow houses or tent areas at the Saklıkent Gorge Club in the Saklıkent National Park facilities. * One of the places where you can eat after the canyon is Saklıkent Gorge Club, which is located in Saklıkent National Park facilities at the exit of the canyon.

Station: Artificial Material: 1 piece of pin Characteristics; - Landing in shallow water. - The dark zone begins after the 15th descent. - After the dark zone, the canyon takes the shape of a valley. - It is reached by going over and under huge rocks in the shape of a valley. - The canyon then leaves the valley shape and runs as a river walk until the next descent. 16th landing; Length: 5.90 m. Station: Artificial Material: 1 piece of bolt Characteristics; - Landing in shallow water. 17.landing; Length: 5.30 m. Station: Artificial Material: 1 piece of pin Characteristics; - Half of the descent has a positive slope, the rest has a negative slope. - The landing is in deep water. * The trailing descent (length of descent x 2) and the rope allowance (2 m each) for the belayed athlete are calculated and used for the descents; - The shortest rope is 11.92 m long. - The longest rope is 77.58 m long. * The entrance to the canyon is before the first descent. As there is only a short distance between the entrance to the canyon and the first descent, start the descent from the bridge. * If there are no problems, the canyon can be done with one night of camping by moving quickly with a team of 4 people. * The first parts of the canyon are a river walk and the wall height is not high. * The factor that makes even the easiest movement in the canyon difficult is the swamp. * In some places it sinks to waist height. * From the moment you enter the bottom of the canyon, you must continue through the swamp and the traps it creates until you reach the exit. * Don't skip it just because it's soft here. Because there may be rocks directly below the swamp appearance. As you descend with one step, you may step on a muddy surface with a rocky bottom with the other step. * Be careful with each step to avoid foot fractures or sprains. * Horizontal and vertical localized fractures are slippery layers. These are the cracks and crevices you will see on the walls in the canyon. These points can shift, especially in wet conditions and light vibrations. * You can see these cracks in many parts of the canyon. * There are huge rocks between the walls of the canyon. * The canyon has wind corridors, especially from the first part onwards. * A beautiful waterfall flows in the cave. * After the 6th descent, the canyon takes the form of a narrow channel and you have to walk through the waterfalls and swim in water that is more than high in places. * The mud in the canal after the 6th descent is quite difficult for the athletes. * After leaving the cave after the 6th descent, the first valley form begins. * After the 6th descent, you can exit the canyon by bypassing a point in the valley form. After entering the valley after the 6th descent and after about an hour of walking with 4 people, the exit is located where the top of the right wall of the canyon has the shape of an arch. If you look at this slope from below, the right side is a steep slope. First you go up from there, where the water has shaped the marble and makes it look like a step. Then you reach the most difficult steep climb through the trees. Once you have conquered this difficult ascent, you will find the goat path and leave the canyon. There are fields behind the hill and it is very close to the village. Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point * After the 15th descent, the second valley form begins and there is a landslide area, so be careful. * Since the anchors at the stations were destroyed by floods and rocks and there was no previous technical report on the canyon, natural stations were favored as much as possible to use the 25 anchors next to us sparingly. * Canyon anchoring will be done in the future. * For accommodation before and/or after the canyon pass, you can choose the tree houses, bungalow houses or tent areas at the Saklıkent Gorge Club in the Saklıkent National Park facilities. * One of the places where you can eat after the canyon is Saklıkent Gorge Club, which is located in Saklıkent National Park facilities at the exit of the canyon.

Comment: Parking pour l\'intégral (descente)
Access: First head for the canyon exit of the Saklikent Gorge. Park your car here for the exit. If you don't want to pay a parking fee, park your car south of the river. Take the second car and drive 700 m (calculated from the road bridge at the canyon exit) in the direction of Palamut, Kalkan (SW). Then we turn left onto a paved road, which leads us up the canyon in many serpentines on the orographic left side. After about 10.7 km we pass some houses (clear view to the east). 150 m further on, a dirt road branches off to the left. We continue on our little road and after a further 670 m take the track to the left at a fork. The next fork awaits us approx. 950 m further on. We stay left again and pass a few houses. 2750m after this last fork, we come to another fork in the track. The total distance from the start of the track in the valley to here is around 15.2 km. Here we have to decide whether we want to enter at the start of the canyon or continue down the canyon from or next to a road bridge into the canyon. If we want to avoid the upper parts of the canyon like the majority of hikers, we continue to the left and after 2.6 km reach the bridge over the canyon. Incidentally, you can also get here on the orographic right-hand side of the gorge via Arsaköy - or rather, past it to the north and largely on tarred roads. We park our car here for this access B. However, if we want to enter at the start of the gorge, we turn right onto a dirt road that leads to the hamlet of Camliova and the road to Sütlegen. After 3.6 km, we come to a tree-free firebreak in a right-hand bend, which descends to the left (north) to the open gravel bed of the Karaçay Dere. We park our car here for this access A. See http://pandernegi.org/saklikent-kanyonu-teknik-raporu/
Return: At the karst spring at the exit of the canyon, turn right onto the path and cross the footbridge out of the canyon.

Bozudere Kanyonu (inferior): Canyon Start
2024-04-11: Very beautiful canyon :)
2024-03-16: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Monstercanyon (inférieur) Descendu après l'amont, ça fait une course d'une ampleur que j'avais pas encore connu. Il n'y a aucune marche, c'est...
Approach: From the latter parking lot, we walk across the meadows in a south-westerly direction towards the edge of the slope (GPS: 36°28'15.23 "N 29°24'59.90 "E). Here we look for a track that leads down to the saddle between Saklikent canyon (left) and Monstercanyon (right). From the saddle we follow the path that leads us in a north-westerly direction down to Bozudere inferiore (entry).
Tour: First walk and downclimb until we reach the 1st rappel. This is followed by 6 more in narrow canyons up to 20m high. At the 8th rappel, a longer handrail is set up so that you can rappel past a hanging col with a dangerous siphon exit. At the exit of the narrow part of the gorge, the vertical part begins, which drops into the Saklikent Canyon. The highest rappel - around 60m - is broken (15m/40m). This is followed by 3 more rappels until we reach the bottom of the Saklikent Canyon.

Access: First head for the canyon exit of the Saklikent Gorge. Park your car here for the exit. If you don't want to pay a parking fee, park the car south of the river.\nFrom here, take the second car and drive north along the road. After 2.7 km, turn right and drive uphill towards Arsaköy. After 6.1 km uphill, we come to a road coming from the north and continue on this road to the right in a southerly direction. After another 3.6 km we leave the road to Arkasöy and turn half right (GPS: 36°30'24.75 "N 29°26'25.56 "E). We follow this road in a south-westerly direction. After about 1.8 km we come to a T-junction (GPS: 36°29'43.72 "N 29°25'47.79 "E) and turn right here. After 100 m the road turns left, 270 m further on the road bends to the left - a side road leads straight ahead, an elongated hall on the righthand side - and 570 m further on (GPS: 36°29'19.59 "N 29°25'56.43 "E - covered bus stop) we turn half right. We now continue slightly downhill for another 570 m. Here - GPS: 36°29'7.36 "N 29°25'59.65 "E - we turn right onto a dirt road to the left. After 620 m, the track crosses "our" stream. We now continue above the stream in a south-westerly direction. After 440 m (from the bridge) we stay right at a fork (near the stream). Another 820 m further on, we see a fountain on the left-hand side of the path. Here (GPS: 36°28'46.59 "N 29°25'42.35 "E) we park the car for an integral ascent. Access here as described for the Monster Canyon superior. If we want to enter the lower part directly, we continue along the track and after about 900 m we come to a track coming down from the left. Follow this downhill to the right, as far as it is passable. We drove another 900 m and then parked the car (GPS: 36°28'15.71 "N 29°25'7.85 "E).
Return: Once in Saklikent Gorge, walk downstream, then cross the tributary from the karst spring (can be difficult if there is enough water and without the rope usually stretched here in season) and then walk out on the footbridge above the river to the parking lot.

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Canyon Start
Approach: To the access at the beginning of the canyon: From the square in front of the mosque (665 m old), follow the little road that leads downhill (in an easterly direction). After about 250 m in a south-easterly direction, we keep left at a junction and after another 200 m on the concrete road we reach the blue entrance gate to the cemetery. In front of the wall, our path now descends to the right and continues along the cemetery wall to its north-eastern exit. Here we follow the path, which initially heads in an easterly direction, but after less than 100 m continues to the north-east. About 200 m further on, we cross a (dry) stream, and a little later the path follows a 90-degree bend heading SE up to a saddle where it meets a slope coming from the left (690 m alt.). We follow the track on the other side downhill in a NE direction. After it has been covered by boulders for a few meters, it turns into a path that continues downhill in the same direction through a sparse pine forest. After about 1800 m (calculated from the saddle) and a short ascent in the opposite direction, you will see a newer forest track on the right below. We descend to it - without a path - and follow it to the right (in a southerly direction). It runs alongside a larger, fenced-in clear-cut area until it makes a sharp left turn at a junction and leads into the fenced-in area to the north. At another fork, we take the upper branch of the track and (not quite 1000 m after crossing the fence) come to a ditch, which we follow - branching off from the track - to the right down to the Karpuz Cayi (melon river). The entry point is at about 360 m altitude. For access to the middle of the canyon: above the well in a SW direction between the fields to a boulder (N36.8153716°/E31.6961150°) that is clearly visible at the end, under which there is a cave with a prominent pillar. Good view of the canyon here. The descent begins about 40 m further to the left (north) and leads down to a rock slab with footprints to the cave, then through it to the right and now a good 70 meters in altitude through the maquis, partly along a streambed. Then cross to the right for about 80 m until you come to another streambed and downclimb this. At an approximately 10 m high drop, cross horizontally to the left to a tree, on which you then rappel 18 m. Continue along the streambed and at another drop on the right down the scree path in the forest to the stream. Here you can downclimb to the right to a height of 5 m above the stream and then jump into the depths of the water.
Tour: The upper part of the gorge has not yet been climbed by us. It begins with a narrow section and is already very aquatic here. More information can be found at Apparently there is an (emergency) exit option up to the village of Ahmetler before the second section of the gorge begins on the right. In the lower parts, no more ropes were needed in the river itself. Everything could be jumped or downclimbed from the middle entrance. However, several abseiling points were set up towards the exit. There were several places with siphons that could be bypassed. Sometimes you have to climb up to 2 m to avoid having to dive. In many cases, the way forward is not obvious! Due to the sometimes very narrow, winding passages, problems can occur when the water flow is higher. The last part of the canyon can be climbed from the canyon exit and is equipped with fixed ropes.

Return: After a final swim, we leave the riverbed to the left and reach the road bridge a good 100 m further downstream.

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Parking at Entry
Access: On the 4-lane D.400 from Antalya in the direction of Alanya. After about 80 km we pass Manavkat. 13 km after Manavkat we turn left onto the D.695 towards Konya. We drive in a north-easterly direction into the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. After a long climb, the road descends again. Shortly before reaching the lowest point of the road (19 km after turning off the D.400), we turn left towards 'Ahmetler 7 km' and after 2.5 km we reach the bridge over the Karpuz Cayi, the end point of the tour. Park the lower car here (65 m old). Follow the tarred road uphill with the 2nd vehicle. You will pass 2 hairpin bends and shortly afterwards - 4.4 km from the bridge - you can park the 2nd car at a fountain if you want to access the middle of the canyon. To reach the entry point at the beginning of the great canyon, we continue for another 2 km. At a fork in the road, we stay right on the paved road and reach the village of Ahmetler. We can park the vehicle here in the square in front of the new mosque (N36.8255860° E31.6967230°).
Return: After a final swim, we leave the riverbed to the left and reach the road bridge a good 100 m further downstream.

Approach: To the access at the beginning of the canyon: From the square in front of the mosque (665 m old), follow the little road that leads downhill (in an easterly direction). After about 250 m in a south-easterly direction, we keep left at a junction and after another 200 m on the concrete road we reach the blue entrance gate to the cemetery. In front of the wall, our path now descends to the right and continues along the cemetery wall to its north-eastern exit. Here we follow the path, which initially heads in an easterly direction, but after less than 100 m continues to the north-east. About 200 m further on, we cross a (dry) stream, and a little later the path follows a 90-degree bend heading SE up to a saddle where it meets a slope coming from the left (690 m alt.). We follow the track on the other side downhill in a NE direction. After it has been covered by boulders for a few meters, it turns into a path that continues downhill in the same direction through a sparse pine forest.

Here you can downclimb to the right to a height of 5 m above the stream and then jump into the depths of the water.
Tour: The upper part of the gorge has not yet been climbed by us. It begins with a narrow section and is already very aquatic here. More information can be found at Apparently there is an (emergency) exit option up to the village of Ahmetler before the second section of the gorge begins on the right. In the lower parts, no more ropes were needed in the river itself. Everything could be jumped or downclimbed from the middle entrance. However, several abseiling points were set up towards the exit. There were several places with siphons that could be bypassed. Sometimes you have to climb up to 2 m to avoid having to dive. In many cases, the way forward is not obvious! Due to the sometimes very narrow, winding passages, problems can occur when the water flow is higher. The last part of the canyon can be climbed from the canyon exit and is equipped with fixed ropes.

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Waypoint
Comment: markanter Felsblock für Beginn des Abstiegs in die Schlucht (unt. Abschnitt)
Approach: To the access at the beginning of the canyon: From the square in front of the mosque (665 m old), follow the little road that leads downhill (in an easterly direction). After about 250 m in a south-easterly direction, we keep left at a junction and after another 200 m on the concrete road we reach the blue entrance gate to the cemetery. In front of the wall, our path now descends to the right and continues along the cemetery wall to its north-eastern exit. Here we follow the path, which initially heads in an easterly direction, but after less than 100 m continues to the north-east. About 200 m further on, we cross a (dry) stream, and a little later the path follows a 90-degree bend heading SE up to a saddle where it meets a slope coming from the left (690 m alt.). We follow the track on the other side downhill in a NE direction. After it has been covered by boulders for a few meters, it turns into a path that continues downhill in the same direction through a sparse pine forest. After about 1800 m (calculated from the saddle) and a short ascent in the opposite direction, you will see a newer forest track on the right below. We descend to it - without a path - and follow it to the right (in a southerly direction). It runs alongside a larger, fenced-in clear-cut area until it makes a sharp left turn at a junction and leads into the fenced-in area to the north. At another fork, we take the upper branch of the track and (not quite 1000 m after crossing the fence) come to a ditch, which we follow - branching off from the track - to the right down to the Karpuz Cayi (melon river). The entry point is at about 360 m altitude. For access to the middle of the canyon: above the well in a SW direction between the fields to a boulder (N36.8153716°/E31.6961150°) that is clearly visible at the end, under which there is a cave with a prominent pillar. Good view of the canyon here. The descent begins about 40 m further to the left (north) and leads down to a rock slab with footprints to the cave, then through it to the right and now a good 70 meters in altitude through the maquis, partly along a streambed. Then cross to the right for about 80 m until you come to another streambed and downclimb this. At an approximately 10 m high drop, cross horizontally to the left to a tree, on which you then rappel 18 m. Continue along the streambed and at another drop on the right down the scree path in the forest to the stream. Here you can downclimb to the right to a height of 5 m above the stream and then jump into the depths of the water.

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Parking at Exit
Access: On the 4-lane D.400 from Antalya in the direction of Alanya. After about 80 km we pass Manavkat. 13 km after Manavkat we turn left onto the D.695 towards Konya. We drive in a north-easterly direction into the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. After a long climb, the road descends again. Shortly before reaching the lowest point of the road (19 km after turning off the D.400), we turn left towards 'Ahmetler 7 km' and after 2.5 km we reach the bridge over the Karpuz Cayi, the end point of the tour. Park the lower car here (65 m old). Follow the tarred road uphill with the 2nd vehicle. You will pass 2 hairpin bends and shortly afterwards - 4.4 km from the bridge - you can park the 2nd car at a fountain if you want to access the middle of the canyon. To reach the entry point at the beginning of the great canyon, we continue for another 2 km. At a fork in the road, we stay right on the paved road and reach the village of Ahmetler. We can park the vehicle here in the square in front of the new mosque (N36.8255860° E31.6967230°).

Approach: From the road, initially without a path down to the river, we come across a path running parallel to the slope. Follow this downhill above the river until it finally winds down into the river bed (near a pipeline that crosses the river here).
Tour: First in the open riverbed, which usually still has water at the beginning. After just a few minutes, the water seeps into the ground and the descent continues - apart from a small but deep pool that can be climbed around - in the dry. Only after a walk of around 1.5 hours and a few passages for downclimbing do we come across the first compelling rappel. The canyon becomes more and more notchy and becomes more and more attractive. There are 27 rappels to complete. They are listed in detail at http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=13937747.

Kuzdere Kanyonu: Parking at Exit
Access: We drive from Kemer on the arterial road 'Dörtyol Blv. heading west. We cross the E 90/D 400 highway and continue straight ahead for 3.2 km on Cumhunyet Cd. The two lanes later become one. After the bridge over the Agva Dere, we turn right and head orographic right along the stream. After 6.5 kilometers, we leave an old bridge on the right and then turn left (before the tarred road crosses the river to the right) onto a dirt road (2010). We ride steadily uphill. About 3.4 km after this fork in the road - a red and white marker on the right, immediately followed by a cairn - we park the car for the exit at the edge of the dirt road. We continue uphill in the second car. This is followed by 3 hairpin bends. About 5.3 km from the fork in the road, we reach the apex of the route (two paths turn off to the right) and continue straight ahead on the main road downhill to the wide gravel banks of the Agva Dere. Park the car shortly after the ford at the widened track - 7.6 km to this point (from the fork in the road).

Sarpdere: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot (for entry) we now continue down the slope and after about 550m we come to the bridge over the Sarpdere. Now we walk down the right bank of the stream and after about 200m we come to the beginning of the gorge - entry. If we only have 1 car at our disposal, we can follow the route on foot as described. However, there is also the option of taking the "Lycian Way" to the entry point. To do this, we continue from the car on the tarred road in the direction of Faralya. After 700m we come to the "Gül Market" (righthand side). A few meters before we leave the road and follow the sign "Watermill Hotel" uphill to the left. We pass the watermill (on the righthand side) and then cross the stream that feeds the Butterfly Canyon. We are now on the "Lycian Way" (Likya Yolou 2.01) and follow it until we reach the bridge over the Sarpdere stream at an altitude of 545m. At the fork in the path shortly before reaching the stream, we leave the Lycian Way to the left.
Tour: Small rappel in narrow and winding corridors, see photos.

Sarpdere: Canyon End
Return: After the canyon exit in a few minutes to the road where the car is parked.

Sarpdere: Parking at Exit
Access: From the town of Fethiye on the southern Aegean, we drive about 12 km south to Olüdeniz, a tourist stronghold beautifully situated on a bay with a lagoon and sandy beach. Towards the exit, the road descends steeply into the village. Where it begins to level out again - about 400m before reaching the coastal promenade - we turn left onto Kidiral CD in the direction of Faralya. The road initially walks towards the slope and, as soon as it reaches the foot of the slope, turns right and heads south, gradually ascending along the coast (beautiful view of Olüdeniz). About 3.4 km after turning onto Kidiral CD, we drive around a large hotel complex located directly on the coast. The road now climbs steeply, partly in serpentines, and after a total of almost 8 km we reach the canyon rim above the Kelebekler Vadisi. The road branches off here, we keep to the right at the canyon rim and reach the crossing of "our" stream 1.3 km after this fork in the road in a right-hand serpentine. There is space to park 1 car here. If there is no parking here, there is another parking space on the right-hand side of the road about 100m further on. With a second car, we would drive another 1.3 km back to the aforementioned road junction and turn right uphill at a sharp angle. We now drive uphill for another 2.5 km. Then, at the exit of a long left-hand bend, we turn right onto a dirt road and arrive at our parking lot for the entry on the next right-hand bend.
Return: After the canyon exit in a few minutes to the road where the car is parked.
