Alanya Tazi canyon tour

Alanya Tazi canyon tour brief description

The Alanya Tazi Canyon tour promises a refreshing day filled with hiking, panoramic views and unforgettable memories. Known as the deepest gorge in Turkey, Tazi Canyon has only recently been opened to visitors, which makes it a unique and still uncrowded destination. Even if you have travelled widely in Antalya, this is a new and inspiring journey. Spectacular landscapes, an adventurous jeep ride (or bus transfer in summer) and the chance to capture original photos – all of this awaits you on this excursion.

What is Tazi Canyon?

A trip to Tazi Canyon, also called Eagle Canyon, from Alanya takes you into the heart of Köprülü National Park. Here you will explore one of seven gorges shaped by centuries-old cliffs and the Koprulu river. The scenery is both dramatic and pristine, offering a sense of untouched wilderness.

You will enjoy striking contrasts of rugged rocks and green forests. Brave visitors can take spectacular photos right on the edge of the cliffs, with panoramic views stretching across the valley. The reserve is home to wild animals such as foxes, goats and even bears, but it remains perfectly safe for tourists. Eagles soaring overhead and fish darting in the clear waters add even more to the atmosphere.

The road to Tazi Canyon from Alanya is itself an adventure. Most of the route winds through the mountains in jeeps, making the journey as exciting as the destination. From June to September, families can also join this excursion by bus, combined with the Tazi Canyon rafting and zipline tour for extra adrenaline. Extreme sports lovers can also check the price of our Alanya buggy rafting tour on our website.

Highlights of the Alanya Tazi Canyon tour

The Eagle Canyon tour from Alanya begins in the village of Beşkonak. From here we continue in modern jeeps and make our first stop at the ancient city of Selge, located high in the Taurus Mountains. Once an important settlement, Selge retained its independence thanks to its remote position, which helped preserve its authentic culture.

In the hottest summer months, the stop at Selge is replaced by refreshing rafting – a perfect way to enjoy the cool mountain waters while having fun. The exact programme will be explained by your guide.

Close to Selge lies the famous Oluk Bridge, which the army of Alexander the Great crossed on its way to Persia. Today the bridge has been carefully restored and is still in use. Another remarkable sight is Adam Kayalar, often called “Cappadocia of Antalya”. These fascinating rock figures date back to the 2nd century BC and remain well preserved.

The Alanya Tazi Canyon excursion concludes at a panoramic observation deck. Passing through pine forests and untouched nature, you will arrive at a viewing point with breathtaking scenery that impresses even seasoned travellers.
