Köprülü Canyon National Park is located 85 km northeast of Antalya city center, 63 km northwest of Manavgat district, around the Köprüçay (Bridge) River. The rift valley formed by Köprüçay, which constitutes the resource value of the National Park, is one of the longest canyons in Turkey, with a length of 14 km and a wall height exceeding 100 meters. This natural area was reserved and declared a National Park in 1973.

Originating from the Taurus Mountains and passing through canyons of natural wonder, Köprüçay flows into the Mediterranean Sea south of Serik. The Köprüçay, fed by the groundwater in the ravines, which are steep on both sides and almost impossible to climb, creates one of Turkey's most beautiful natural recreation areas. In addition, many archaeological resources, such as the ancient city of Selge in the mountainous terrain to the west of the river, castles, aqueducts, Roman bridges, and historical roads on the banks of the river increase the importance of Köprülü Canyon.
