Tazı Canyon Viewing Terrace

Description

Famous for its deep valley views, a natural viewpoint that is a favorite among photographers.

Story

Tazı Canyon has become one of the most shared views of Antalya on social media in recent years. This deep valley, located to the north of Köprülü Canyon National Park, creates a dramatic image with its steep walls reaching hundreds of meters high and the Köprüçay river flowing below. It is said that the name of the region comes from an old local story describing the tazıs that run along the valley. Once known only to the local people and shepherds, this spot has quickly gained popularity due to the interest of photographers, and has since become a favorite destination for nature hikers. The unpaved roads leading to the summit can sometimes be narrow and rocky. When you reach the viewpoint, the sound of the wind and the roar of the stream below combine to create a completely different atmosphere as you approach the edge of the cliff. The light that falls into the valley during sunrise and sunset creates impressive shadows and tones in photographs. The fact that the region still preserves its wilderness makes it a different experience from tourist areas.

Visit Tips

• Drive carefully with low-profile vehicles due to the stabilization road.
• The wind can be strong at the edge of the cliff.
• Definitely go and return in daylight.
