Safety warning
Its story
Yelimera Canyon is a 42-hectare area registered as a natural monument on 7 May 2021. It is about 34 km from the Selendi district center and 3 km from the village of Karataş Terziler, on the border between Manisa and Kütahya. The canyon's most important value lies in the landforms created by the erosion of the rocks by water and air, and the caves large and small in its walls. The small pools formed by the Yellimera Çayı (Yellimera Stream) running along its floor, and the herbaceous and woody vegetation around them, make the area well suited to outdoor sports. A management plan has been prepared for the area, and infrastructure work will begin after the plan is approved.
