Water Rafting |

Just 45 minutes away from Dalyan
is a village called Akkoprü. This village is situated in the wilds
of Turkey on the Dalaman river, being the best river for white water
rafting in Southern Turkey. The river flows all year round, being
at its most challenging in the spring time, and consists of rapid,
then pool, rapid, then pool and so on; the rapids being of grades
3 and 4; the pools allowing plenty of time to relax, swim, and having
a stop for eating a special lunch.

The river is suitable and exciting
for beginners to intermediate rafters and the whole days emphasis
is on having as much fun as possible. Be prepared to get very wet,
have your stomach in your mouth, and enjoy the thrill of a day of
teamwork in getting your raft down the river back to the village.
The river current and the rapids may be strong and exciting, but
they are surprisingly calming. When you end the day chatting about
your exploits with your team members and drinking Turkish tea in
the garden, you feel completely relaxed and often a bit jovial.

of the canyon everybody gets a helmet and we walk through the narrow
deep canyon for about 2 hours. Climbing over rocks, jumping in small
pools we reach the end of the canyon where a freezing cold spring
comes out the mountains. Just a little bit further is the restaurant
built out of wood on top of the spring water where we will have
a nice meal for lunch. After that we drive just half an hour to
the 2nd canyon. Here you can follow the path or if you feel like
real adventure and want to be totally wet just follow the river,
climbing through waterfalls, jumping and swimming in pools. At the
end of the day you will be wetter than wet but will have experienced
another type of holiday.

A real outdoor feeling is guaranteed.

The day starts with the biking tour,
the departure time being 9:00am. The tour is almost 25km long and
starts by riding to the amber forest. A break where we enjoy the
stillness, coolness and tranquility of the aromatic forest. The
next stop is in a typical old Turkish village where we are invited
to drink freshly brewed tea. After about 15 minutes we leave the
village of kavakarasi and head for old köycegiz. We will look inside
the mosque and at the few houses, which were built in 1880, one
of which has been renovated. Here we will rest in the lush garden
and have our lunch.

After lunch we load up the jeep with
the bikes and drive for half an hour to the start of the canyoning
tour. We climb and trek through a breathtaking and fascinating canyon.
After about 20 minutes we reach a waterfall where we spend some
time for a break, relaxing and swimming in the crystal clear fresh
water. Once we are refreshed and fit again we continue to trek and
scramble again. The adventure now begins as the going gets much
more dramatic. After our legs are tired we reach another, but much
larger and impressive waterfall. At this incredible place we spend
an hour exploring and enjoying the area. After this restful time
we start on the hike back to the jeep which takes about one and
a half hours. Here we take the jeep back to Dalyan, arriving home
