Tour Plan
- Transfer from Hotel
Around 08:30, our comfortable open-top minibuses will pick you up from your hotel, and you will embark on a journey to the most beautiful attractions in the Fethiye region.
- Ancient City of Tlos
Near Fethiye, about 40 kilometres away, are the ruins of the legendary ancient city of Tlos. It was once a powerful and wealthy settlement, one of the six largest cities of the Lycian Union. Tlos has a well-preserved amphitheatre that could seat up to 20,000 people, as well as the ruins of an ancient stadium, Roman baths, ritual temples and a Byzantine basilica. At this point, our guides will give you a short sightseeing tour. You will then have free time to explore the ruins of the ancient city on your own. Tlos is famous for its Acropolis with its Lycian tombs and fortress, which offers a stunning panoramic view of the Xanthos Valley. The mountain range where the ancient ruins are located gives way to the Saklikent Gorge, our next stop.
- Saklikent Gorge
Saklikent is one of the longest and deepest canyons in Turkey, stretching for 18 km and reaching a height of 600 metres. The canyon is a must for all lovers of unspoilt nature, where rocks, caves and waterfalls combine in an amazing way.
At the beginning of the route you walk on wooden planks fixed to the rocks above the mighty currents of the Eshen River. Then the trail continues along the bottom of the canyon, and you have to cross the river to get to the trailhead. Be prepared, the waters of the mountain river are cool even on a sweltering summer's day. If you just want to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature, there are picturesque restaurants at the entrance to the canyon where you can relax in hammocks by the water or on beds. - National Park Yakapark
Yakapark National Park is an absolute oasis! After walking under the hot Turkish sun, you'll be blown away by the dense shade of trees, stepped terraces on the river and miniature waterfalls – it's the perfect place to find coolness and peace. Yakapark is set on the side of a mountain, and its green grounds are a delight to stroll and admire the magnificent landscape. At this atmospheric place, you will have the chance to savour the delicious Turkish cuisine at your scheduled lunch.
- Return to Fethiye
After a busy and exciting day, we'll be taking you back to the hotels of Oludeniz and Fethiye. Our comfortable buses will be ready to take you there at 18:00.

5Fantastische excursie! Yakapark is een prachtig en rustgevend plekje — kristalhelder bronwater en een mooie waterval in een weelderige natuuromgeving. De antieke ruïnes van Tlos zijn indrukwekkend met prachtig uitzicht. En Saklikent Canyon is het absolute hoogtepunt — enorm, dramatisch en het ijskoude water is een onvergetelijke ervaring. Een perfecte combinatie van natuur, geschiedenis en avontuur. Zeker aanraden!

5Absolutely loved this excursion! Yakapark is a beautiful and peaceful natural spring park — the perfect place to start the day. Tlos ancient ruins are fascinating with sweeping views over the valley. And Saklikent Gorge is spectacular — the scale of it is hard to believe and the icy cold water rushing through is exhilarating even in summer. A brilliant combination of relaxation, history and adventure. Highly recommend.

4Bardzo udana wycieczka! Yakapark to urocze miejsce z krystalicznie czystą wodą źródlaną i pięknym wodospadem. Tlos jest fascynujący historycznie i widok z góry jest zachwycający. Kanion Saklikent to absolutny hit — lodowata woda między skalnymi ścianami to niezapomniane przeżycie. Jedyne zastrzeżenie to tempo — trochę za szybko przemieszczamy się między miejscami. Ale ogólnie świetna, dobrze zaplanowana wycieczka!

5Giornata splendida! Il tour Yakapark, Tlos e Saklikent è una delle migliori escursioni da Fethiye. Yakapark è un posto incantevole — acqua sorgiva cristallina e cascata in un ambiente naturale rigoglioso. Tlos è affascinante con una vista panoramica straordinaria. E il canyon di Saklikent è semplicemente spettacolare. La guida era molto brava. Un’escursione che combina perfettamente natura, storia e avventura!

3Excursion agréable avec quelques réserves. Yakapark est vraiment beau et reposant. Tlos est fascinant. Saklikent est impressionnant. Mais en juillet la chaleur était accablante et les sites étaient bondés. Le temps accordé à chaque endroit était trop court — on se sentait un peu bousculé. Et la journée est vraiment longue et fatigante. Bien pour ceux qui veulent tout voir rapidement mais idéalement à visiter hors saison estivale.

5Wunderschöner Ausflug! Der Yakapark ist ein traumhaft schöner Ort — kristallklares Quellwasser, Forellen und ein hübscher Wasserfall in einer entspannenden Naturumgebung. Die antiken Ruinen von Tlos sind beeindruckend mit herrlichem Panoramablick. Der Saklikent Canyon ist absolut spektakulär — das Erlebnis im eiskalten Wasser zwischen riesigen Felswänden ist unvergesslich. Perfekte Kombination aus Natur und Geschichte!

4Really good day out! Yakapark is a lovely surprise — a beautiful natural spring park with clear water and a waterfall. Perfect for a relaxing stop. Tlos ruins are impressive and historically interesting. Saklikent Gorge is the star of the show — enormous and dramatic with freezing cold water rushing through it. The day is quite long and packed but every stop is worthwhile. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

5¡Excursión perfecta! La combinación de Yakapark, Tlos y Saklikent es simplemente ideal. Yakapark es un lugar precioso y relajante — agua cristalina, truchas y una hermosa cascata. Las ruinas de Tlos son fascinantes con vistas panorámicas espectaculares. Y el cañón de Saklikent es el punto culminante — el agua helada entre las paredes de roca es una experiencia única e inolvidable. ¡Muy recomendado!

4Mooie dagexcursie! Yakapark is een heerlijk rustig plekje met kristalhelder water en een prachtige waterval. De antieke ruïnes van Tlos zijn indrukwekkend en het uitzicht is spectaculair. Saklikent Canyon is het hoogtepunt — het ijskoude water in de kloof is een unieke ervaring. Kleine kanttekening: de dag is lang en het tempo is hoog. Meer tijd in Saklikent zou fijn zijn geweest. Maar overall een geweldige dag!
Sarah Mitchell
5Brilliant excursion! Yakapark is a gorgeous spot — the natural spring water is crystal clear and the waterfall setting is beautiful and peaceful. Tlos is a fascinating ancient site with incredible panoramic views. And Saklikent Gorge is simply spectacular — the sheer scale of it and the experience of wading through the freezing water is something you won’t forget. A perfect blend of nature and history.

5Wspaniała wycieczka! Yakapark to prawdziwy klejnot — krystalicznie czysta woda, pstrągi, piękny wodospad w przepięknym naturalnym otoczeniu. Ruiny Tlos są fascynujące i widok z góry jest zachwycający. A kanion Saklikent to absolutny hit — chodzenie w lodowatej wodzie między skalnymi ścianami to coś czego nie zapomnę. Doskonałe połączenie natury i historii. Gorąco polecam!

5Giornata meravigliosa! Yakapark è un posto incantevole — acqua cristallina, trote, una bella cascata in un ambiente naturale rilassante. Le rovine di Tlos sono affascinanti con una vista panoramica straordinaria. Il canyon di Saklikent è il momento clou — l’acqua gelida tra le pareti di roccia è un’esperienza indimenticabile. Una combinazione perfetta di natura e storia. Consigliato a tutti!

4Très belle excursion! Le Yakapark est un endroit magnifique et reposant — de l’eau cristalline, des truites, une belle cascade. Les ruines de Tlos sont fascinantes avec une vue panoramique splendide. Et Saklikent est impressionnant — l’eau froide dans les gorges est une sensation unique. Petite déception: on aurait aimé plus de temps dans chaque endroit. Mais dans l’ensemble une très belle journée bien organisée!

5Fantastischer Ausflug! Die Kombination aus Yakapark, Tlos und Saklikent ist einfach perfekt. Der Yakapark mit seinem kristallklaren Wasser und dem Wasserfall ist wunderschön und entspannend. Die antiken Ruinen von Tlos sind beeindruckend — die Aussicht von dort oben ist atemberaubend. Und der Saklikent Canyon mit seinem eiskalten Wasser ist ein absolutes Highlight. Sehr empfehlenswert!

5What a wonderful day out! Yakapark is a hidden gem — a beautiful trout park with crystal clear water and a lovely waterfall. Tlos ancient ruins are fascinating and the views from up there are spectacular. Saklikent Gorge is the highlight — walking through the icy cold water between towering rock walls is an unforgettable experience. A great combination of nature and history. Highly recommend.

5This is my first holiday in Fethie and it was very interesting to see all the surroundings and learn the local stories and legends. The places are incredible, the beauty, the power of the mountains, the ancient cities and deserted villages, the canyon with the purest water, everything is incredible! Fethiye is not like Antalya at all, different impressions, beautiful city, thank you for the trip!

5It was amazing tour! We had a fantastic time and despite the long journey, we were never bored. We got some truly unforgettable memories. We got to explore the hinterland of Turkey, which was such a vibrant and fascinating place. There was so much to see and it was all so interesting. Having lunch on the bank of a mountain river was such a unique experience. The photos we took were incredible. Just make sure you take water and comfortable shoes!
Elisabeth
5It’s an absolutely gorgeous place! Follow the canyon to the end and you’ll be treated to a stunning waterfall. After that, hop on a cottonwood raft and enjoy a thrilling ride down the mountain river! It’s an unforgettable experience. The local restaurants serve up delicious, affordable food, and the service is friendly and welcoming.
