Day Two
On the second day, we are going to see the Kaputaş Beach. Kaputaş beach has a many visitor during the day. That’s why we are recommending to you to go there early and rent the best sunbed. To be honest , we couldn’t believe our eyes , when we see the colour of the sea. It is so bright turqoise, and looking clean. You need to get down from the 190 stairs, it is a kind of tiring but it is worth to see. There is a market and a small cafe at the beach. We stayed here for a whole day, we had fun ,playing with waves and the water was a bit cold. You definitly need to see here.

Day Three
Now it is time to make things interesting, we are hitting the road for Saklıkent Canyon. You can get there for 1 hour from Kalkan center. There are many restaurants here, you can drink fresh orange juice or eat Turkish kebap. Just pack a little bag for putting cash and photograph machine and phones, be careful in the water. There were a few people dropped the very expensive phones in the water. So just be careful. First things first , be safe under the big rocks , always use the yellow helmets in the canyon. When passing the water , hold on tight to rope. And try to look beautiful because they are taking pictures, while you are passing the water. And after you can buy them for 5 TL. You are going to feel like an ant, while walking in the canyon.

Day Five
We decided that today is the last day , so we can relax , and see Ancient cities. For over years , they are standing in there. We went to see Xanthos ancient ruins. There is a big antique theater , and so good view. I guess Lycians find the best spot in Antalya. Do not forget to take hats and water with you.
