Its story
The Yazılı Canyon lies about 10 km south of Sütçüler, near the village of Çandır. It takes its name from the ancient inscriptions carved into the rock face at the canyon entrance (yazılı means 'inscribed'). The historic road linking Pisidia to the Pamphylian coast passes through here; St. Paul is believed to have used this route on his way from Perge to Pisidian Antioch, and today it is part of the St. Paul Trail hiking route. The path in the shade of plane trees and the ice-cold stream water offer a cool escape from the summer heat.
