Enjoyed our trip to Saklikent gorge in Turkey during our visit in June 2013. Had a good lunch on a (fixed!) raft out in the river before walking down the gorge. Very cold water which was great on the very hot day we visited. Really beautiful place, reminded us of Dunns river falls in Jamaica but on a much smaller... More

This was one of the highlights of our trip to the Kalkan area. We hired a car and drove there from Kalkan, it was well signposted and parking is free. Soon as we parked, we were given helpful advice about what to take and what to leave in the car. We brought our own beach shoes, which were ideal. Entrance... More

We came, we saw, we drove away again. We have no doubt the gorge itself is spectacular and the experience of the rushing water thrilling but the tacky commercial gauntlet you have to run before even reaching the ticket office (we approached from the Xanthos side, not Fetiye) was desperately offputting. We thought we were heading for a cherished beauty... More

Just a fantastic day all round been here several times! And would happily go back again this year, you must take a camera! Brilliant place for photos can also recommend doing the rubber rings down the river! Perfectly safe for any ages and what a great time!! Don't worry it's never very deep and they will even tie your rings... More

A good time, the gorge is fun to hike through and the water is cold but refreshing on a hot day. If you don't have good water shoes they have some shoes you can rent, but bring socks so they don't cut up your feet. Also, for transportation, my friend and I just took a minibus there. It was pretty... More

Walk up the gorge starts off pretty easy but the further you go, the more difficult it gets. Lots of scrambling and wading through chest-high waters of cold water. A few bruises at the end. Exilirating! Great lunch at the end.

Picturesque place and a bit of an adrenaline rush trying to wade through the gorge. Awesome but buy plastic/ swim shoes before.

The walk up the gorge is fun, since the water is sooo cold, but tourists seem to enjoy writing on the white walls with mud, and this detracts from nature and photos. Be careful carrying young children and electronic equipment as it is easy to slip.

The whole experience of walking through water up the gorge against the current was a real adventure. Would never be allowed in north america for safety reasons. A real thrill!!!

A good day out, very scenic. Quite a difficult walk up the gorge over boulders and in freezing cold water. But there are guides there to help for a tip.
