GOYNYUK CANYON… Goynuk is an ancient settlement and resort in the vicinity of Kemer. The distance from Kemer to the Goynuk resort is 7 kilometers. The village and resort of Goynuk is located near the Olympos National Park. One of the most beautiful natural attractions of this resort and Olympos park is the Goynuk river and canyon, which in Turkish means “fertile valley”. Around this valley are the Turkish Bedaglar Mountains. A river flows from these mountains, creating various gorges and rocks on its way.
You can again get to the canyon by bus to Antalya (the cost will be 1.5 dollars or 3.5 lira - lira is cheaper! ), ask the driver to stop at the canyon. Usually they go out at the Goynuk globe, which stands at the entrance to the village, it can also be seen from the roadway. You need to go along the only road to the mountains, everywhere there are signs "Canyon" - you will not go astray.
At first, the path passed by the bed of a dried up river, then turning left, you will see the famous garden of Ali. This is a local restaurant where you can go to drink tea and have a bite. . but it's more interesting from the outside! You can relax on a bench in the shade of orange trees, admire home-made pumpkin exhibits, read signs in Russian and thanks to Russo-tourists for the trails)) and go further to the goal past the ATV parking lot, and, of course, take pictures while sitting on one of them, for show - we do not know the price. The nature around is very beautiful - herds of goats graze, lemon and orange trees beckon, but the fruits on them are unripe - they are only suitable for juices that local grannies sell right there for $ 1.
The road to the reserve is about 2 km. Entrance to the reserve is paid - 6 lira or 2.5 dollars (cheaper in lira). And then begins an unforgettable hike up the mountain!
On the way to the canyon (about 3 km) along the way you will come across various picturesque and unique landscapes, coniferous forests, rich in their clean and cool air and natural silence. Everywhere there are recreation areas with places for swimming, original bridges made of tree branches, snack bars, benches with tables where it’s so nice to have a bite (don’t forget to take sandwiches and fruits, or what’s more substantial, well, without water anywhere), somewhere below, very far mountain blue rivers murmur . . and if you raise your head - mountains hanging right above the path are leaning over you . . and what bright photos you get here !! ! Particularly fearless, you can walk along the hanging bridge, like in films about the jungle, seeing only a cliff and a blue lake under your feet, however, this is possible for an additional fee and it seems like even with an instructor (did not specify), toilets are equipped along the way.
Finally, here it is - the entrance to the canyon!
Those who just wanted to walk along the gorge come back, but you can go deeper inside and reach the waterfalls. To do this, you need to wear a wetsuit. There is a station near the canyon where you can rent it (a long suit is better, instead of short shorts), a life jacket, boots and a helmet ($13 came out) and a waterproof case for a camera ($7 for rent), they also offer guide services (as bargain, about 15 dollars) - get lost there - don't get lost, but help in overcoming obstacles, if there are no men next to you, is simply necessary.
