Saklikent
Saklikent nr Kadikoy village is between Olu Deniz and Kalkan in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains enjoying the most ravishing views across the Xanthos valley to Babadag.
Saklikent is famous for its 20km canyon which is 40 minutes' drive east of Fethiye. It is a lovely place to come and while away an afternoon, and for those with a more active frame of mind, it's an excellent place to indulge in outdoor pursuits including canyoning, hiking or rafting.
Four kilometres of the gorge are walkable after April, when most of the snow in the Taurus Mountains has melted and has passed through on its way to the Mediterranean Sea. However, water levels can still be fairly high at this time of year, so it is a better idea to visit in late summer when the water is not quite so cold and the 4km are an easy paddle.
There are also pleasant walking trails through the mountains on either side of the gorge and tree houses offer an unusual place to rest your head.
