Kapıkaya Canyon, Natural canyon in Adana Province, Turkey
The canyon stretches 5.5 kilometers along the Çakıt Creek, forming deep limestone walls that rise dramatically from the riverbed.
The canyon functioned as the Adnan Menderes Post Road during ancient times, connecting settlements through this natural passage in the mountains.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of gathering carob, olives, and medicinal plants that grow abundantly throughout the canyon walls.
Visitors can access the canyon through a 7,250-meter marked walking path that starts at Kapıkaya Village and leads to Yerköprü Recreation Area.
The central section features Bahçecik Waterfall, which creates a natural pool during spring, surrounded by wooden observation platforms.
