A view from the canyon
Saklıkent Canyon is the second largest
canyon in Europe.
It is located in Antalya province
in Turkey
, 50 km from
the city of Fethiye
. The
Canyon is 300 meters deep and 18 km long, resulting from the
abrasion of the rocks by flowing waters over thousands of years. As
the level of water rises during winter months, visitors can enter
the canyon only in the summer.
Four kilometers of the canyon are walkable
after April, when most of the snow in the Taurus
Mountains
has melted
and passed through on its way to the Mediterranean Sea
. Saklıkent means "hidden city" in
Turkish.
