What to do and see in Turkey, Turkey: The Best Canyons
Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

So my younger brothers loved walking around and playing in the cold water of the river, they enjoyed a simple zip line and kayaked by the beautiful view of the river and the mountain. I did bungee jumping for the first time and it was an excellent experience.

East of Anatlaya you'll find the clear and beautiful river Köprü. Shortly after Beskonak is the starting point of the canyon and a white water rafting tour. Two Roman bridges mark the beginning. The canyon is 14k meters long.

This national park can be visited at any time of year. In the summer or Spring you can go canoeing and whitewater rafting. If you do not want to go on a tour then just drive to the park and you can easily find other independent people looking to split the cost and go rafting. The price will include all the equipment,bringing you back to the start and lunch. I can highly recommend doing this! If you are not so active there are amazing views, picnic spots and lovely walks a long the river. There are two Roman bridges which should not be missed. The scenery is particularly spectacular in autumn with all the different colors of the leaves.

It's a long walk in a canyon between high mountains and cold water river. The walk is very beautiful with fantastic views. There is also some activities in the park, such as zip lines and rafting.
6. Tohma Canyon

4.5 based on 48 reviews
It lies between the Somuncu Baba Mosque and Taş Bridge in the Darende district. The two slopes of the Tohma Stream are composed of the steep crags and ragged valley. Over the crags there are natural hollows and cave-like parts. Water is brought to the Somuncu Baba Mosque by a canal made out of carving the rocks over the slopes. Rafting, trekking, photo-safari and climbing are popular activities in this canyon. The 8 km long canyon is a moderately tough but comfortable track for rafting which takes about one hour.

Would you like to feel like in Arizona in Turkey? This underrated undiscovered place should be on your bucket list! Arizona is famous for it's canyons. Bur in Turkey, we felt like spending a day in Arizona when we discovered this fantastic Canyon! To visit this Canyon, you can stay at the nearby cities where you can combine different activities. We Were staying in the City Sinop; however, a bigger town Samsun is nearby. There are a lot of undiscovered hiking roads, so the beautiful nature is untouched! Let me tell you more about this canyon'. The Canyon Vezir Kopru or the Roman City named that is named under the great ruler the emperor Jules Cesar "Neopolis" is located in Turkish city Samsun. These canyons we visit are located in a small town in Vezirkopru where Turkey's longest river, "Red River" or Kizil Irmak, created them. The place is not discovered by massive tourism companies yet. So this makes it extraordinarily attractive for travel explorers like you and us. For more information or tips, do not hesitate to leave comments or send us an e-mail.

First off - the descriptions on how to get there vary quite a bit, so here's the GPS coordinates of the main canyon entrance: 37.2339444, 35.0153333 Beware that the canyon might be closed depending on the weather and the stone damage situation. If it is closed, I suggest as plan B: Drive on to the Varda (German) bridge (37.243182, 34.976796) for a beautiful view. From there, head over to Yerköprü Recreation and Picnic Area (37.279694, 34.998290) where there's a decent restaurant to take a break. From there, cross the little pedestrian bridge over the river and you can hike on a gravel road along the river into the canyon. While not as scenic as the main canyon, it's nevertheless a nice hike and you can see some nice rock formations and dip your toes into the water (swimming is forbidden, though). Remember that you're in the Taurus mountains and that the weather can change very quickly.

The Fairy Chimneys in Avanos, Cappadocia is an awesome site to see.. Great walking trails with paths that take you high on to platos that allow you to be above the structures and take wonderful 360 degree pictures.. This place is a must when visiting Cappadocia.
