Sapadere Canyon: A Complete Guide
Tucked in the Taurus Mountains about an hour from Alanya, Sapadere Canyon is a refreshing natural escape from the summer heat. Here is what to see and how to visit.
What is Sapadere Canyon?
A dramatic 750-metre gorge with wooden walkways beside crystal-clear mountain water. It stays cool even in midsummer, making it a perfect break from the coast.
What to do there
Walk the canyon paths, dip into the icy natural pools and visit the nearby Dripstone Cave. Restaurants by the river serve fresh trout in a beautiful setting.
How to get to Sapadere
The canyon is around 40 km / 1 hour from Alanya by mountain road. The easiest way is a guided tour or a private transfer with us.
Tips for your visit
Bring a swimsuit and water shoes, wear comfortable footwear and pack a light layer — the canyon is noticeably cooler than the beach.
Book a Sapadere tour or transfer
We run daily Sapadere Canyon tours with hotel pick-up, or can arrange a private transfer so you explore at your own pace.
