Canyon, Ulupınar, Tlos, Yakapark       Take the main road to Fethiye, turn right at the sign Saklıkent in the village of Alaçat, 45 km. from Kalkan. Turn South at the T, always following Saklıkent signs. 12 km. after leaving the main road to Fethiye, you must turn right continue for 3 more kilometers. You will then arrive at a large stream with a narrow bridge crossing it. The entrance of the canyon is under the bridge. The narrow foot path suspended from the rock wall is spectacular. The small island surrounded by cascading water is pleasant place to taste the local trout. We also recommend crossing the bridge to discover another source of the Xanthus river, Ulupınar, 1 km. further east. There is a restaurant hidden by lush vegetation. The canyon itself could present a very interesting trekking expedition, since it climbs north for 12 km. From about 100 m. (at its entrance) to 800 m altitude. The water temperature at these sources is 10°C in summer. You may also visit two caves in the valley although difficult to reach. After lunch, return to the road junction (3 km.) and proceed to the right, you will cross Kayadibi village (4 km.). Stop and ask for Yakapark since it is rather difficult to find (11 km. from the canyon junction). You will end up in a large trout farm under magnificent oak trees. The restaurant surrounded by mini waterfalls, serves traditional Turkish lamb kebab and of course trout. You can also have your afternoon tea in the coolness of a 520 m. altitude. Tlos, one of the six most important cities of Lycian Confederation, is only 4 km. to the southwest. The rocky peak around which the city was founded is dotted by Lycian, Roman and Byzantine ruins. An Ottoman feudal lord’s castle (Kanlı Ali Ağa) sits on the top of the promontory with a spectacular 360° view of the Xanthus Valley. The stadium, the Roman baths and gymnasium, the Byzantine basilica, the theater which has 34 rows of seats and the agora are the most important ruins of the city. Nevertheless, the necropolis with its carved house and temple type tombs are the most interesting remains. The best known tomb is the Tomb of Bellerophon where Bellerophon mounted on Pegasus is seen fighting the three headed Chimera. Kalkan is 50 km. away following the same road.    Real Estate in kalkan, Yaliboyu Mah.  Kalkan  07960, Kalkan/Antalya, Turkey Tel/Fax:  (90) 242. 844. 36 04  email
