Seven kilometers east of Aspendos, and about 70 kilometers northwest of Side, a long Seljuk hump-back bridge, with Roman foundations, crosses the Köprülü River.
Farther north, behind the village of Alabalik, the river narrows, marking the point where the mountainous and impressive Köprülü Canyon National Park begins.
This is the top spot in the region for white-water rafting trips, and half-day rafting trips are easy to arrange in both Side and Antalya.
