Raft Koprulu Canyon

By Pat Yale

For a river run with a real twist in the tail, head east from Antalya for the beautiful Koprulu Canyon, where you can take a raft or canoe trip eight miles upriver, past truly awe-inspiring craggy mountain scenery. As if that weren't thrill enough, when the waters are highest (from April to October) your raft will spin you through 360 degrees in churning, Class III waters. Afterward, trek into the mountainous hinterland to explore the isolated ruins of Roman Selge. Accommodations are limited, but you can camp near the river.
