Canoeing in National Park

We have already told you that Patara is a fascinating historical region in the middle of beautiful countryside. Naturally if you are in Patara we would like you to also see and enjoy some of this area, by land, by water, on foot, by jeep or by boat.If you want a completely different day then join us on one of our canoeing trips and experience the natural environment along the river Xanthos.You will have the chance to see river turtles, wild birds, crabs while rowing past jungle like river banks.The canoeing is a lot of fun for all with time to ease off the oars and relax for  a rejuvenating mud bath and again later for lunch and last but not least take the strain out of those muscles with a swim and sunbathe on Patara beach.Our partner companies with agencies in the centre of the village  can show you a side of  Turkey that the “mass tourism” hardly ever gets to see.

Patara - Xanthos River

 

   A fascinating route with the Canoeing by the national park Patara, of the dead city Xanthos up to to the flussmuendung at the large Patara beach. It goes past on steep banks with many birds, by almost jungle-similar river landscapes. In order, one must take part in neither Canoeing know (one learns after 100 meters) still concerns before game landing on water to have - it does not give. Also sporty condition is not a condition, owing to the current goes it a part of the distance nearly from alone. As wages on half distance a grill celebration with louder good things expects you. The skin can you a mud bath goennen.
