Köprülü Canyon
Köprülü Canyon National Park is a 366 km² protected area in Antalya, famous for its dramatic canyon, Roman Oluk Bridge, and whitewater rafting.
Köprülü Canyon (Köprülü Kanyon) was designated a national park in 1973, covering 366 square kilometers of rugged terrain. The canyon is carved by the Köprüçay River and offers one of Turkey's best spots for whitewater rafting, with rapids suitable for beginners and experts alike.
The Roman Oluk Bridge (Oluk Köprüsü) is a well-preserved relic from antiquity, spanning the river at the canyon entrance. Hiking trails run along the rim and down to the water. Common wildlife includes pine trees, wild goats, and birds. The park draws thousands of visitors annually for rafting, camping, and photography.
