Saklıkent, Tlos and Yakapark – a Jeep Safari Day Tour from Fethiye
This day tour from Fethiye mixes adventure with history. Riding in open jeeps through the farmland and pine hills of the Xanthos valley, you visit the ancient city of Tlos, have lunch at the trout restaurant of Yakapark and finish with a walk into Saklıkent Gorge, one of the deepest canyons in Turkey. It is a relaxed, fun daily excursion for families and groups of friends.
Highlights
- Jeep safari – off-road tracks, village roads and water fights along the way
- Tlos – one of the oldest Lycian cities, with rock tombs, theatre and stadium
- Tlos acropolis – a hilltop citadel with a later Ottoman fortress on top
- Yakapark – a shaded restaurant over icy spring water, known for fresh trout
- Saklıkent Gorge – a narrow limestone canyon carved by a mountain river
Tlos was among the largest cities of the Lycian League and was settled for thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to Ottoman times. Its rock tombs imitate wooden house fronts, and one of them is decorated with a relief of a rider on a winged horse, which local tradition connects with the hero Bellerophon and Pegasus. The fortress on the acropolis was used in the 19th century by a local Ottoman ruler.
Saklıkent, whose name means "hidden valley", is part of a national park. Its river comes from snow-fed springs, so the water stays cold even in August. The first section is easy to reach on a wooden walkway; beyond it you wade across the stream and follow the gravel floor of the gorge between towering walls.
If you prefer an air-conditioned minibus to a jeep, take our Saklıkent and Tlos gorge day tour from Fethiye.
Good to know
- Expect to get wet: wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a change and a towel.
- Water shoes or old trainers are best for walking in the gorge.
- The jeeps are open, so bring sunglasses, sun cream and a dry bag for your phone.
- Best from May to October; the gorge may close after heavy rain.
- The tour lasts around 8.5 to 9 hours.

Tour Programme ▾
Tlos / Yakapark / Saklikent Gorge
Around 08:30 open-top jeeps collect you from your hotel in Fethiye. The convoy heads inland across the Xanthos valley on village roads and forest tracks, with short photo stops in the countryside and the usual splashy water fights between the jeeps.
The first sightseeing stop is Tlos, perched on a rocky hill above the valley. Your English-speaking guide shows you the Lycian rock tombs cut into the cliff, the acropolis crowned by a later Ottoman fortress, and the theatre and stadium spread out below.
Around midday the jeeps drive on to Yakapark near the village of Yaka, a shaded trout-farm restaurant built over cold spring water. Lunch is served here, and there is free time to sit by the channels or try the optional zipline.
In the afternoon you reach Saklıkent Gorge. A boardwalk leads along the cliff to the point where the canyon narrows; from there you can wade through the cold river and walk between walls that rise straight up for hundreds of metres. There is time to relax at the riverside platforms before the jeeps return to Fethiye in the late afternoon.
