Sapadere Canyon Jeep Tour and Village Visit from Alanya

Meet a driver at your hotel for 9am departure, then transfer to a central meeting location, where you'll join up with a convoy of Jeeps for the trip into the mountains.

After 25 miles (40 km) on the road, you'll reach the mountain village of Sapadere and visit a Turkish family in their home, the perfect chance for a real glimpse for rural life. Sit on the terrace to join the hosts for a glass of traditional Turkish tea or coffee, then step into a nearby mosque for a short introduction to Islam.

Following your time in the village, continue into Sapadere Canyon, where steep walls drop to a rushing river and waterfalls, with the chance to swim in a chilly cascade. Head to a local tavern for lunch—the locally caught trout is a favorite dish. 

Before returning to town, you'll have the option to visit Goblin Cave, a fascinating place hung with stalactites and sleeping bats (cave tickets own expense, €3). This tour concludes with drop-off at the original departure point.
