Saklıkent National Park

Saklıkent National Park, established on June 6, 1996, is a national park in southwestern Turkey. The national park is a canyon, and is located in Muğla Province, at Seydikemer, 50 km far from Fethiye. The Canyon is 65 km from Kaş in the Antalya province.

The canyon is 300 m deep and 18 km long, being one of the deepest in the world. It was formed through abrasion of the rocks by flowing waters over thousands of years. As the level of water rises during winter months, while visitors can enter the canyon all year around, the deeper parts are accessible only in the summer. 4 km of the canyon are walkable after April, when most of the snow in the Taurus Mountains has melted and passed through on its way to the Mediterranean Sea. Saklıkent means "hidden city" in Turkish.
