  • Holta Canyon
    At Holta Canyon, travelers will enjoy the main highlight of the tour by walking inside the canyon for more than 1 hour, surrounded by dramatic rock formations and breathtaking natural scenery. The canyon water is very cold and refreshing, while in some sections there are natural thermal water spots where the water is noticeably warmer, ideal for swimming.
