KÖPRÜLÜ KANYON
The Roman bridge



Köprülü Kanyon, Turkey

At the point where the canyon widens out to become a navigable river, a narrow Roman bridge permits both normal cars to pass and photographers easy options for nice shots. The bridge was reconstructed in the 20th century. A staircase leads down to the river right in front, where you can hold on to a rock and inundate yourself. Unless you're a swimmer of Olympic skills, do not let go of that hold.
