"Adventure holidays in Turkey

From white-water rafting to meeting Kurdish herders in the mountains

With high-volume rapids fed by the snow melt from the Black Sea mountains, this river in north-east Turkey is one of the world's best white-water rivers. Alternatif Outdoor offers five-day guided rafting expeditions which start and finish in Erzurum and take in spectacular canyons, narrow valleys, ruined castles and the class-five rapids of the Ispir gorge. No rafting experience is required, you just need to be reasonably fit and able to swim."
