Tlos, Gizlikent waterfall and Saklikent gorge
Morning visit to Tlos - one of the oldest cities in Lycia - mentioned in 14th century BC records. In one location - Lycian, Greek, Roman and Ottoman history all together! So lucky to go in the amphitheatre as it’s only been open 2 weeks after 10 years of restoration. The Roman bath complex was wow! Just so interesting especially as I did Latin at school. In the afternoon Gizlikent waterfall. Fantastic lunch and great company on the trip. There were options to do extra things like zip wire but we wanted to have an ice cream. Ended up at Saklikent Gorge with our hard hats - busman’s holiday actually! Then we found the comfy Turkish cushions for a chill and coffee + Efes. Fantastic guide for the day Mehmet - just full of fascinating facts and historical stories. Excellent value for money and went to such interesting locations. Superb weather too. Such a treat to walk around Tlos that many people have called at on a jeep safari but not had chance to walk around Tlos itself and walk up to the tombs - great! Views of the mountain and a complete 360 at the top! Fabulous.
Response from the operator: From exploring the oldest layers of Lycia all the way down to a chilly walk through Saklıkent Gorge, you really made the most of every single stop. Great to hear the pacing gave you plenty of room to take it all in without feeling rushed between the history and the water.

Chillax Travel. The best
Booked Three excursions with Chillax Travel in Oludeniz with Sue. It was a great experience. We enjoyed the Tlos Saklikent Gorge+Gizlikent Waterfall the best. History scenic and walking shallow rivers for two 68 year olds with did well.lol. the Fethiye city tour was also amazing .the Ghost town the tombs of Fethiye the old town. And it included the cable car up the Bagadag mountain to watch the Paragliders take off. Note that most tours in oludeniz only include the ghost village and fethiye tombs and old town and dont include the cable car. So I would recommend chillax Travel. Near top of strip on the left going up go and see Sue.you wont be disappointed
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Walking through the shallow waters at Gizlikent and Saklıkent at 68 and having a blast is absolute proof that adventure has no age limit. Really glad that Sue took good care of your bookings at the office and that all three excursions went so well for you!

Nature and history combined
Excellent tour with a superb, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide. The communication by WhatsApp ahead of the tour was excellent. You do need a reasonable degree of mobility- there are a lot of steps, it is scrabbly wading and the ground at Tlos is uneven and rocky. Unfortunately we couldn't walk into Saklikent Gorge due to recent rain but what we saw of it was stunning and it's on our list to go back to. The waterfall is worth the walk - on a hotter day it would have been great to swim there. Tlos is remarkable and our guide was able to explain what each area had been, which civilisation built it or adapted it and how to differentiate the architecture. Top tip: invest in water shoes with a good grip. You can hire them, but they don't cost much on Amazon. And wear decent shoes for walking at Tlos. You do the gorge and then the waterfall in the morning so take a change of dry clothes for Tlis - there are changing cubicles at the waterfall restaurant area. Chillax will be my first choice for all future tours.
Response from the operator: Clear communication on WhatsApp before pickup saves so much hassle on the day, especially when nature decides to rise the water levels in the gorge! Really glad the practical details were helpful and that Tlos made up for the wet trail.

Highly recommend!
Very nice tour, small 10 -12 person group. On time pick up. Smooth journey. The guide was very nice and knowledgable. The gorge and waterfall both very beautiful. Tlos was nice too.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for leaving this! We put a lot of focus on small group sizes and prompt pickups so nobody spends their day waiting around in a crowded bus. Really glad you had a great time with us out in Gizlikent, Tlos Ancient City, and the Gorge!

Fabulous!
Our guide was so helpful and so knowledgeable. And the experience overall was beautiful and educational.
Response from the operator: It's awesome to hear that you found the day both fun and educational! Mixing the history at Tlos with the canyon walks is our favorite way to show off the area, so we're thrilled you had such a great time.

Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fethiye.
How much does Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fethiye usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fethiye is not rushed.
Is Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fethiye, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fethiye can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fethiye and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Boutique Small Group: Saklikent Gorge, Tlos & Gizlikent Waterfall start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fethiye within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fethiye?
+
On Outty we rank every Fethiye experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paragliding Oludeniz With Transfer - Fethiye, Turkey, Oludeniz Paragliding Fethiye Turkey, Additional Features, 2 people buggy safari half day beach and forest drive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fethiye?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fethiye?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
