About Koprulu Canyon 

The Koprulu Canyon National Park is within the boundaries of Manavgat. It is a 14 Km. long and 100 m. wide valley between Balasan village and Beskonak. It is thickly covered in cedar trees and its resemblance to the "fairy chimneys" of Cappadocia, albeit in the from of nature, is striking. The ancient stone bridge straddling the Kopru stream is still in use today.

Köprülü Kanyon is a magical place where time stands still, a place where you can see everything there is unique to the Mediterranean, from plant cover to wild life.

Northeast of Antalya on the Side road take the turn off for Tasagil and Beskonak, for the beautiful circular, scenic route that leads to the Koprulu Canyon National Park. The road criss-crosses over the clear, flowing water of the mountain river and passes through virgin forests and over rippling waterfalls. Reaching the park, 92 km from Antalya, you will encounter a valley of wild beauty rich in flora and fauna.
