WHITE WATER RAFTING
Archaically named Indos, the Dalaman River was once the
border between the ancient civilizations of Caria and
Lycia. With its ever-flowing whitewaters, awe-inspiring
wilderness, beautiful canyons and ancient remains, the
venue provides a perfect backdrop for this
heart-pounding activity. The river offers plenty of
rapids ranging from 2 to 4 ( grade 6 being the most
challenging ).
The journey from Marmaris to our base takes about an
hour and half and includes a stop for breakfast. On
arrival we change into rafting suits and continue the
rest of the route on the off-road vehicles with rafts
atop.
After a comprehensive instruction course we head off
right into the watery arms of Mother Nature. Any nerves
are dispelled at the first rapid as you quickly learn to
love the thrill and rush of the river.
Rafting time is about three hours with a stop half way
for swimming and cliff jumping. As rafting requires team
work, a team-spirit is always developed spontaneously.
Towards the end, half a mile before our base, rafts pass
under an ancient bridge which gives its name to the
village of Akköprü ( The White Bridge ). At this moment
you may throw yourself to the waters and let the river
carry you home. If you pay enough attention, you will
see the ancient scripture on the bridge, saying: "How
lucky man I am, to have built this wonderful bridge over
this enchanting river...’’
Over 3 hours of non-stop adrenalin rush climaxes with a
well deserved hearty meal. And when you arrive back in
Marmaris, you may not have energy left for clubbing, but
it will be a day you never forget.
