About this place

Saklıkent Gorge

Saklıkent Gorge is an 18-kilometre canyon in the Akdağ mountains near Fethiye, 205 km and 2 hours 58 minutes from Antalya Airport.

Saklıkent Gorge is one of Turkey's deepest canyons, an 18-kilometre cleft cut through the Akdağ mountains where icy meltwater rushes between cliffs rising hundreds of metres overhead. A timber walkway clings to the rock at the entrance before the route continues on foot through the riverbed — a dramatic, cooling escape from the coastal heat.

Lying inland from Fethiye, Saklıkent is a genuine long-haul excursion: 205 km and 2 hours 58 minutes from Antalya Airport, via the coastal D400 and inland through Tlos to the gorge's car park. With no practical public transport link, it's firmly a full-day trip, best paired with Tlos or a riverside lunch.

From the car park, a suspended boardwalk clings to the rock face and leads down to the gorge mouth, where visitors wade across a fast, knee-deep river to continue inside — water shoes are essential, and the current stays cold year-round. Trout restaurants sit on platforms above the river.

Practical information

Trail Difficulty
Moderate: a paved boardwalk gives way to wading through a cold, fast-flowing river.
Time Needed
Plan two to three hours on site for the boardwalk, river and drying off.
What to Bring
Water shoes or old trainers, a change of clothes, and a dry bag.
Seasonal Note
The river runs coldest and fullest during spring meltwater season.

Why MovXtra for your Saklıkent Gorge transfer?

4 key benefits

Benefit 1

Fixed price, no surprises

Your Saklıkent Gorge rate is set at booking and covers the full 205 km run from the airport. No meter, no traffic surcharge, and no hidden extras when you arrive at the gorge.

Benefit 2

Mountain road, confirmed route

Saklıkent lies inland from the Fethiye coast, reached by a long, winding mountain road that climbs into the Akdağ range of the Taurus. We know this route well and confirm the gorge entrance before you depart the airport.

Benefit 3

Licensed and insured

MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, so you have real accountability on the long drive out to the gorge, not just a driver's word.

Benefit 4

Driver at your pickup point, no searching

Your driver waits at the pickup address from your booking — a hotel entrance, a villa gate, or any address in the region. When the trip starts at Antalya Airport, they meet you in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. Collect your bags, meet your vehicle, and start the near three-hour run out to the gorge straight away.

Private transfer vs. taxi

A taxi to Saklıkent runs on the meter for the full round trip, with the fare climbing on the drive back regardless of what was agreed at the start. A private transfer fixes the price and the return time before you leave the airport.

Planning Your Return Trip

Because Saklıkent is a full day out, your driver and vehicle stay with you rather than leaving and returning. Agree your pickup time and your driver will be waiting at the same spot.

“We booked a private transfer with MovXtra before arriving in Turkey, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication via both email and WhatsApp was quick, friendly, and professional. We were a group of 14 people, and during our holiday we used their services for several transfers. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, the driver was friendly and helpful, and every journey went perfectly. 🚐👌 There is honestly nothing we could fault. We will definitely use MovXtra again on our future trips to Antalya. Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced private transfer service in Antalya. 🙏🇹🇷”

“I used Movxtra for both my airport transfers in Antalya — from the airport to my hotel and then back to the airport. I was very satisfied with the service from start to finish. The website is very easy to use, with clear and fixed prices, and there is no need to pay in advance. You simply pay the driver after arriving at your destination, which I found very convenient. Their WhatsApp communication is also excellent — they respond extremely quickly. After making the booking, I recommend contacting them directly on WhatsApp, as it makes communication even faster and easier. Both drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, spacious, and had good air conditioning. I would definitely recommend Movxtra, especially if you want a reliable airport transfer without having to pay upfront. The fixed price and payment upon arrival make the whole process simple and stress-free. Very good service and definitely a company I would use again!”

Saklıkent Gorge transfer — frequently asked questions

Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.

Tap a question to view details.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

The price is per vehicle, not per person, so it covers everyone travelling together up to the vehicle's capacity. A family or group heading to Saklıkent pays the same fixed fare as a solo traveller, with no per-head add-ons.

How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Saklıkent Gorge?

The drive from Antalya Airport to Saklıkent Gorge covers 205 km and takes 2 hours 58 minutes by car. A taxi covers the same route on the meter in a similar time, and there is no direct public transport link from the airport to the gorge.

Does the driver wait at Saklıkent Gorge, or come back later?

Because this is a full-day trip, your driver and vehicle stay at the gorge for the whole visit rather than leaving and returning. You agree a pickup time that suits your visit, lunch, and any stop in Tlos, and the same driver takes you back.

Where do I meet my driver, and where does the transfer drop me off?

Your driver meets you at the pickup address you enter when booking — your hotel, villa or any address in the region. Arriving on a flight? They meet you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, just past baggage claim. You're dropped directly at the Saklıkent Gorge car park, right by the boardwalk entrance near Tlos, so there's no onward walk or second taxi to arrange.

Can I request a child seat, and is there room for luggage?

Yes — request a child seat when you book and one will be fitted before pickup, at no extra charge. Vehicles are sized to the group and carry standard airport luggage comfortably, so let us know your bag count in advance for a longer trip like this one.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your trip starts at Antalya Airport, we check your flight before pickup and adjust it to your actual landing time at no extra cost. Your driver adjusts pickup to your actual landing time at no extra cost — useful on a route like this, where the drive itself already runs close to three hours.
