If you don’t fear heights, you are invited to see one of the most majestic canyons in Turkey. Side Eagle Canyon Tour is the perfect opportunity to be close to nature in its rawest form and explore the historical and natural sites around Side.
Located in the rocky Taurus Mountains, Eagle Canyon is magnificent, with its cliffs exceeding 400 meters and the lush green vegetation around it. On this full-day excursion, you will see this lesser-known scenic beauty and many natural and historical marvels of the Side region. You will have a tasty lunch by the river Köprüçay and breathe in the fresh pine air of the Taurus Mountains all day long.
The trip starts early, around 09:00, and our comfortable, air-conditioned bus will pick you up from your hotel gate. The journey to the canyon takes approximately 2 hours. The tour route passes through small villages, orange groves, bridges, mountain roads and lush forests. Undoubtedly, seeing all these natural beauties is truly a feast for the eyes. Our guide will provide information about the remarkable points of attention throughout the journey.
There are short photo stops along the journey to Eagle Canyon, and one of them is at a 2000-year-old bridge from the Roman Period called Oluk Bridge. Then, we will have a stopover at our restaurant just by the river. Here, you can refresh yourself, and then we can go on our journey. Before we reach the canyon, there will be another short stop at “Road of St Paul”, where you can see the path this significant Christian figure followed in his first missionary journey.
When we arrive at Eagle Canyon, you will have 45 minutes of free time to enjoy the views and keep the images of this magnificent place in your mind forever. You can take some Instagramic pictures of the amazing views here. Our guide will inform you about the Taurus Mountains and the Köprüçay River, which you can clearly see from the top of the canyon. Even all the greenery around the place will make you feel relaxed and peaceful.
After the Eagle Canyon visit, we will go back to the restaurant by the river, where we all enjoy the feast of trout fish, chicken, or meatballs with rice, chips, and salad. It will be a unique experience to enjoy your lunch by the river with spectacular scenery. Then, we will visit the Ancient City of Selge, where you can see an amazingly well-preserved 2200-year-old Roman amphitheatre. After this last stop, we will set out to return to the hotels as we will ensure your safe return around 17:00, and the tour will officially end.
Side Eagle Canyon Tour is exactly a nice choice for nature lovers and enthusiasts for exploration. A stress-free, nice day out in the heart of nature awaits you in Side this summer.
