12 - Rafting in Side
Have you ever tried rafting before? Away from the coast, this part of Turkey is something of an adventure playground - created by Mother Nature herself. We’re talking craggy peaks, forests and river canyons. And it’s the latter that this trip focuses on. It’s a white water rafting trip in the Köprülü canyon in the mountains. After driving to the riverside village of Beskonak, you’ll be given a safety briefing before you don a helmet and life vest. Once you’ve taken your seat along with your guide in an eight-person raft - get ready to roll. Feel the cool breezes as your raft skims and spins over the waters with everyone laughing and shrieking along the way. Keep your eyes on the scenery, too. You’ll raft past steep cliffs and pine forests that most tourists never get to see. It’s an exhilarating ride but the rapids are gentle rather than turbulent, so they’re perfect for beginners. There’s also a complimentary lunch included in the trip.
