About this activity

Explore two natural and historical treasures in one half-day excursion: the understudied ancient ruins of Syedra, paired with the dramatic limestone canyon and cave system at Sapadere. A rare combination that balances archaeological insight with outdoor adventure, complete with swimming and a meal in nature.

We begin our tour with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel and drive towards the impressive Syedra Ancient City, one of the hidden historical gems of the Alanya region. Upon arrival, our licensed professional guide will provide detailed information about the history, culture, and significance of Syedra, while you enjoy panoramic views and explore the ancient ruins.
We continue our journey to the beautiful Sapadere Canyon, famous for its natural beauty and refreshing atmosphere. Here, you will have time to walk along the wooden pathways through the canyon, discover the stunning Sapadere Cave, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
There will be an opportunity to swim in the cool, crystal-clear water, perfect for refreshing yourself on a warm day. We will also enjoy a delicious lunch at Sapadere, surrounded by nature. This tour is a perfect combination of history, nature, relaxation, and adventure.
