Abi Tours

Hi to all!
Has anyone been on the trip to Saklikant Gorge (spelt correctly??) with the above company.  I want to find the best way to visit this place.  They were a little unclear about what to wear etc on their site, only that we should be prepared to get wet! Thanks in anticipation.

We have been to Saklikent Gorge (Turkish meaning -  secret or hidden city) three times with Abi Travel even though we live here and have a car.  It is a great day out, a very good way to meet people and it is very well organised.

You should be prepared to get wet up to mid thigh level (depending how tall you are) as you cross the fast flowing river at the entrance to the gorge.  You will also need good shoes which will survive getting wet or you can hire rubber shoes when you get there.

When we go, we take an extra pair of shorts and a t shirt to change into after the trip through the gorge as the tour continues on to Yapi Park for lunch and then on to Tlos, so you don't want to have another 3 or 4 hours in wet clothes.

There are two trips which I would always recommend to new arrivals to Kalkan, Saklikent and the day tour to Kekova, which is a  marvellous day out and takes you through stunning mountain scenery and then on to Kekova.  We have also done this twice with Abi Travel when we have had first time visitors and nobody has ever been disappointed.

Hope you have a very enjoyable day when you visit Saklikent and a great holiday in Kalkan

Hi, would just like to add the following points re Saklikent. The height of the water depends on time of year and date of last rains. I went in early June last year, due to the fact that it had rained heavily a week or so before the water was quite high. The currents are strong and footwear can be lost so as well as surviving the water they need to be very securely fastened. I also wore a swimming costume and t shirt. It is a great trip not to be missed as is Kekova. You will have a great time
