The swift-flowing Köprüçay (Bridge
Creek) takes
its name from a Roman stone
bridge—still in use—across
the aptly-named Köprülü Kanyon (Bridge
Canyon).
The river is favored by white-water
rafters because of
its relatively easy rapids (Class
1 & 2) along a scenic course
downstream from the dramatic
gorge.
Bridge Canyon National Park (Köprülü Kanyon
Milli Park) makes a good day
excursion from Antalya, Belek
or Side,
whether you go rafting, or hiking,
or to explore the ruins of the Roman theater,
city walls, and Temple
of Zeus in the mountain
town of Selge (Altinkaya),
or just to enjoy a picnic amid
the dramatic Mediterranean scenery
(map).
Tour companies in Antalya,
Belek and Side can
arrange your excursion with transport,
equipment, guides and meals, or you
can just drive up in the morning and
choose a rafting company to go with.
