アジアの峡谷・トップ20

Overcrowded and it's sure to get worse. If you can be there between 7:30 and 9:00... maybe. Note that a huge parking lot and a large building overlooking the first pool are under construction.

The Oluk Bridge (formerly known as the Eurymedon Bridge) is a Roman bridge over the Köprüçay River, formerly known as the Eurymedon, near the ancient city of Selge, the capital of the Roman province of Pisidia in Turkey. The structure was located on a road leading from the Pamphilia coast to Pisidia. Built in a sparsely populated area, the bridge crosses the Köprüçay River near the village of Beşkonak and is notable for its height. The excellently preserved ancient building is 14 meters long and 3.5 meters wide; the street surface is 2.5 meters wide. The clear width of its single arch is about 7 meters, and the thickness of the wedge-shaped, mortarless stones is 60 centimeters. The construction technique used and the strength of the masonry indicate that it was built in the 2nd century AD, Selge's heyday.

Stunning! If you’re looking to dip in the canyon, I’d advise finding spot along the route to dip and have the tranquility all to yourself, rather than dip in the main pools/areas that everyone uses.

I didn't particularly enjoy the hike to the canyon entrance. Jeeps are constantly driving by, kicking up dust. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I can't say whether the guided tour in the canyon itself is worth it. However, you can swim at the café 100 meters from the entrance, and the Gözleme tastes good too.

Eating there is very idyllic

Impressive waterfall in Panos Platres. You can either walk directly from the town on a 1.5 km long route to the waterfall (it goes up and down a bit) or you can drive straight there (road just outside Panos Platres) and just walk down the last few steps to the waterfall. Apparently it is less well known than the Kalendonia waterfall and therefore not as crowded - we cannot confirm this...

The geological formation is incredible. The path is next to the basalt wall, it will be safe until a rock falls on someone's head. Today, entry was 300 drams. The structure they built for pedestrians is good, I believe it is possible to travel the route with a wheelchair too. I entered from the side that comes from the valley, going down the street next to the entrance to the Temple of the Sun (separate entrance). There is another entrance for those coming by car, and this one has a slightly steep slope. I didn't like the number of cars passing among the pedestrians, it seems to me that it will turn into a place for mass tourism.

Little Petra is really worth the visit. You can take a free shuttle from Petra main entrance (in the bus area) to go there. From there you can also take the trail heading to the monastry.
