Exploring the Stunning Köprülü Canyon
The tour is centered in the breathtaking Köprülü Canyon, a UNESCO-listed site known for its dramatic cliffs and lush greenery. The canyon provides the backdrop for the river rafting adventure, which lasts around 45 minutes per session with a 15-minute break in between.
