Its story

Yaka Canyon, about 4.5 km south of the village of Yaka, was formed by snowmelt from the Anamas Mountains carving into the limestone. The walls of the roughly 4 km-long canyon rise to 30–100 meters, while the passage narrows in places to just a few meters. Small cascades and natural pools make the canyon walk cool and enjoyable. The canyon is also a course used in commando training in Isparta.
