Gizlikent Waterfall
Nature & Hiking
Gizlikent ('hidden town') is a small waterfall in a narrow, shady gorge near Saklıkent, about 45 km from Fethiye. From the entrance a path of roughly 30 minutes follows the stream, partly over rocks and through ankle- to knee-deep cold water, to the waterfall and its pool, where you can swim. It is much quieter than Saklıkent and makes a good second stop on the same day – many jeep safaris include it.
