Saklikent National Park — Attraction in Seydikemer

A stunning natural gem, this deep gorge mesmerizes visitors with its narrow passages and massive boulders seemingly suspended in the air. The gentle sound of flowing water beneath our feet makes for an unforgettable adventure.

To make the most of your visit, bring extra shorts and comfy water shoes, as you’ll wade through flowing water at the start and navigate some slippery rocks.

This park is a fantastic spot for families and friends, offering plenty of opportunities to stroll, soak in the breathtaking scenery, and have a great time together. We were a group of 10 friends, spending quite a while sitting in the flowing water and snapping pictures.

Entry fees are just 20 Turkish Lira for kids and 40 Lira for adults. Flip-flops are a good idea since you'll encounter ankle-deep icy water for about 12 meters at the entrance. The soil here is known for its rejuvenating properties, so feel free to give it a try!

With towering mountains and crystal-clear springs, the setting is idyllic, though it can get busy. We trekked to the waterfall initially chilly, the water warmed up as we went along, making it a refreshing escape on a hot day. Water shoes are highly recommended, as the rocky path can be tough on your feet. It might not be suitable for the elderly or those with injuries, but if you can manage it, the waterfall is well worth the trek.

After your adventure, there are plenty of restaurants and shops offering cold drinks and souvenirs. We enjoyed sitting on benches with a beautiful view while savoring Turkish tea, which will always be a memorable experience for us. For a more relaxed time, grab a ticket to lounge on benches before entering, dip your toes in the cool water, and take in the stunning views. This is truly a must-visit...

Very interesting, fun and unique place to hike or spend the day. Parking is 45Tl, entrance is 16Tl for adults. Just a bit after you enter, you will find a picnic and rest area where there’s food and drinks (meals, corn, ice cream, doughnuts, coffee/tea…)… lots of tables and benches in the water… and they also either sell or rent rubber shoes for the canyon (renting one pair is 60Tl). Honestly, we hiked the canyon barefoot and really enjoyed it, it wasn’t painful or unpleasant for us… but most people either rented/bought water shoes or wore street shoes. The water in the canyon is not deep, maximum knee height, otherwise barely any water (in summer). The water at the picnic area is absolutely ice cold because of fresh strong streams coming in. People have fun or bathe in the ice water, it’s exhilarating! Once you pass the turbulent cold water (there’s a rope to hold on to), then everything is calm and the water is warm. The canyon is about 1.5km… after that they recommend to go further only with a guide. Guides are waiting at the 1.5km point. I don’t know how much it is. At the very entrance of the park they offer free hard hats/helmets… most people don’t use one but you can if you want. The canyon gets more and more narrow and interesting as you go. The way back is the same way you go. It’s cool enough inside the canyon in summer, and I didn’t wear a hat or sunglasses. I recommend to put your phone in a waterproof case and to have a backpack. Have a swimsuit and towel too for the cold water bathing. We stayed there a while, maybe 4hrs… to sit and enjoy and also took many photos inside the canyon. I really recommend seeing this place it’s refreshing change from the beach and...

Wow, you cant miss this ace. Go on the rapid donut rides, 500 lira each and totally wot h it, we went all the way round and it took about half an hour. Absolutely soaked through as we all splashed each other. Very educational for my daughter, breath taking views of the gorge. We slushed around in the clay mud and then washed it off on the freezing water, its so cold you cant stabd in it long. Good to go when its absolutely boiling but then thats when everyone is there. Ive been a few times. Its refreshing in August but absolutely packed so you sort of shuffle round and dont get the photos without shed loads of peope on them. I recently went in the end of may and although on the cold side the temps were about 29/30 degrees and the water is freezing but you get the place to yourself so you can really enjoy and the beauty of it. you also don't get the usual tourist hassle from the locals. It cost me £120 lira for me and my daughter to go inside in may. My advise is to keep walking , lots of people turn away and dont go throught the water... , go through the water and climb up a bit... its TOTALLY worth it, dont be a sheep and follow the crowds and if a young Turkish lad offers to help you, be brave let him help you and give me a few lira afterward for his efforts helping you climb up. You will feel amazing having climbed up there and you are also spreading the good will and helping the young Turkish out who are in dire straits with the economy...
