Yazılı Canyon Nature Park

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:45:29

The Yazılı Canyon Nature Park, roughly a 65km drive south of Eğirdir, protects a forested gorge deep in the Taurus Mountains, which separate the Lake District (ancient Pisidia) and the Antalya region (Pamphylia), and their unique climatic zones. From the parking area, follow a path 3km upstream through the glorious Çandır Kanyon to alpine waterfalls. There are shady bathing spots, filled with catharticly cold water. It is busy in summer, but otherwise tranquil.

In the same area, traipse the Roman road of Adada, where a ruined agora and Trajan's temple are visible. The ruins are up a winding mountain road around the village of Sütçüler.
