Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Saklıkent National Park is located in the southwestern region of Turkey, stretching across the provinces of Muğla and Antalya. The park's most famous feature is the Saklıkent Gorge, a dramatic 11-mile-long gorge that invites exploration through its cool, rushing waters and towering limestone walls. The park's diverse ecology includes Mediterranean flora such as olive and pomegranate trees, with the varied landscape providing a habitat for a range of wildlife. Established in 1996, the park draws visitors for its recreational opportunities, including hiking through the gorge, canyoning, and camping. The stark beauty of the gorge, combined with the lush greenery and serene rivers, make it a perfect destination for photographers and nature lovers. The park has historical appeal with traces of ancient Lycian civilizations found nearby.
