The Hidden Green Labyrinth Behind Kaş
Located between Kaş and Elmalı at the foot of Mount Akdağ, Cyprus Canyon (Kıbrıs Kanyonu) is one of Antalya's most challenging and pristine canyons. Named after the Cyprus Creek in the region, this canyon is a natural wonder hidden among massive cedar forests and steep cliffs. With its approximately 16-kilometer-long trail, it is a destination accessible only to professional athletes and serious adventure seekers.
The Peak of Extreme Sports
Cyprus Canyon is one of the most popular and technical spots in Turkey for the sport of canyoning. It contains numerous waterfalls, natural rock slides, and deep water basins. The altitude difference between the starting and ending points and the extreme coldness of the water make the passage both difficult and exhilarating. The vegetation surrounding the canyon is so dense that in some areas, it becomes almost impossible to see the sky.
