Our guide will tell you about the Taurus Mountains and the Köprüçay River, which you can clearly see from the canyon’s rim. The lush greenery surrounding the area will also contribute to a sense of relaxation and tranquility.

After visiting Eagle Canyon, we’ll return to the riverside restaurant, where we’ll all enjoy a feast of trout, chicken, or meatballs with rice, chips, and salad.
