Embark on a captivating journey to explore one of the hidden gems of our local countryside with the Alanya Sapadere Canyon Tour. Carved out by ancient glacial movements, this canyon is a sanctuary of diverse wildlife, lush vegetation, and breathtaking landscapes that demand to be experienced firsthand. Wander through nearly 300 meters of wooden pathways that weave through the canyon, allowing you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and feel the refreshing spray of the numerous waterfalls. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the essence of this extraordinary nature walk.
Our adventure begins with a scenic 40-kilometer drive from the heart of Alanya, passing through the quaint towns of Gazipasa, Mersin, and Demirtas, until we reach the serene village of Sapadere. This untouched paradise epitomizes the rural charm of the Alanya countryside, bustling with indigenous flora and fauna. The pace of life here is a gentle reminder of a bygone era, where farmers tend to their livestock, and the hustle and bustle of city life seem worlds away. Silk production is a prominent local industry, thanks to the abundance of mulberry trees that provide a haven for silkworms. During our visit to Sapadere, you'll have the opportunity to witness the intricate process of silk-making.
Just 3 kilometers from Sapadere lies the majestic canyon, a 750-meter-long and 400-meter-high testament to the power of glacial erosion during the Ice Age. The wooden walkways allow you to venture deep into the heart of the canyon, where you'll be surrounded by a diverse array of bird species and wildlife. The numerous waterfalls provide a refreshing mist, and the cool, clear pools offer a perfect spot for a swim, with temperatures rarely exceeding 12 degrees, offering a welcome respite from the summer heat.
Our journey continues as we explore nearby caves, including the renowned Dwarves Cave, adorned with stalactites and stalagmites stretching over 170 meters. Following our exploration of nature's wonders, we'll indulge in a delicious local meal of fish and chicken, served under the shade of trees. This delightful experience is all included in the price of your ticket, making it the perfect way to conclude our adventure before heading back to Alanya.
