Koprulu
Canyon National Park
The Koprulu Canyon National Park is within the boundaries of
Manavgat. It is a 14 Km. long and 100 m. wide valley between
Balasan village and Beskonak. It is thickly covered in cedar
trees and its resemblance to the "fairy chimneys" of
Cappadocia, albeit in the from of nature, is striking. The
ancient stone bridge straddling the Kopru stream is still in
use today.
Termessos National Park
The Termessos National Park is 30 Km. along
the Antalya Korkuteli highway. This was the site of the
ancient city of Termessos. Animal species in danger of being
decimated can readily find a breeding ground here. The park,
which is covered by wild flora, is of unusual beauty.
Olympos National Park
To the west of Antalya rise the snowcapped
peaks of the Olympos range, where many antique cities, caves
bearing the mark of early man, innumerable plantsand animals
are under protection in the Olympos National Park.
