The Saklikent Gorge was absolutely stunning and such a refreshing break from the heat. The walk through the gorge was exciting but not too difficult. We also loved the visit to Tlos—our guide made the history really engaging. Patara Beach was a lovely way to end the day.

I liked the scenery and the historical sites, but the bus ride felt long and a bit tiring. Also, not a lot of interaction from the guide. I would have liked more detailed information about Tlos.
