Göynük Canyon is considered one of the best trekking routes in the world, and it is part of the infamous Lycian Way. There are natural pools and ponds, where you can take a dip and cool off. It's a very peaceful trekking experience to walk under the pine trees watching the Göynük River flow through the canyon. If you are up for it, there are also zip line and body rafting activities, but for this long day, we recommend doing the easy trek in nature.
You'll pass from hanging bridges over the river and eventually arrive at the natural pool. There are plenty of benches on the way and 3 cafés if you need anything. You can buy the ticket at the entrance, parking is free.

After a 40-minute scenic drive through the mountains, you'll arrive to Phaselis Ancient City Ruins. It is right by the seaside, and you can swim in the Mediterranean while gazing at the ruins, which have been standing there for thousands of years.
Phaselis was a Greek and Roman city, established in the 7th century BC by Rhodians. It was an important city with its 3 ports on the coast of Ancient Lycia.
Today, you can visit the amphitheater, Hadrian Waterway Gate, Roman baths and the wide main street of the ancient city. You can buy the ticket at the entrance and parking is free.
Spend some time on one of the three magnificent beaches right beside the ancient city. Keep in mind that the beaches don't have sunbeds and umbrellas.
