Frequently asked
How long is the Jeep Safari Saklıkent tour?
A full day, around 9 hours from hotel pickup to drop-off. Pickup is usually 09:00, return around 18:00 depending on Kalkan traffic and the lunch stop in Yaka.
Do I get wet in the Saklıkent gorge?
Yes — the gorge water is icy and shin to thigh deep depending on snowmelt. Bring water shoes or sturdy sandals. Most people walk in 200–500 m and turn back; the wooden boardwalk to the entrance stays dry.
Is the off-road section rough?
Mild — open-top jeeps run a fixed dirt-track route through Lycian villages with two short splash sections. Suitable for ages 5+ with parents. Hold on; the road is bumpy.
Are Tlos ruins included?
Yes, the climb to the acropolis with Lycian rock tombs and the Roman bath complex below are both included, with about 45 minutes on site.
What should I wear?
Quick-dry shorts or trekking trousers, t-shirt, water shoes or sandals with grip. Bring a towel, a change of dry clothes for the ride home, sun cream and a hat.
