The 18 km long canyon, preventing sunlight with
its narrow and steep structure, has a 6 km long
section which is suitable for walking. You will need
mountaineering equipment if you wish to walk
further in the canyon. If you decide to walk in the
canyon, be sure that you have a guide and rubber/
plastic shoes with you. It is small but very import-
ant detail for a comfortable and safe trip in the
canyon.
The walk starts on the wooden bridge placed on
one side of the canyon. Jade coloured water of
Karaçay (Black Stream) gushingly flowing under
the wooden bridge provides a fascinating view.
You may easily notice the change of the tempera-
ture and atmosphere when you reach to other end
of the bridge. Rest your eyes and soul on bright-
ness of lucent waters roaring under the canyon.
The excitement and happiness of the people pass-
ing through the canyon will also invite you to the
water.
If you are a real adventurer and feel an urge to do
more after walking in chilling cold water of the
canyon, you can try rafting where you will have
gushing flowing water in every season. You may
experience unforgettable moments with single or
group rafting boats. Mud bath is waiting for you at
the end of the rafting tour.

So now, it is time to rest. You may enjoy fresh trout
on the ground terraces built over the flowing
water or you may try local food on countryside
restaurants which are lined up on the right and
left lanes on Fethiye road.
