37°47'27.9"N 35°03'56.3"E https://goo.gl/maps/X3zh8F4P5zKDczbZA This is the turn-off point and after you drive for another 2 minutes you will reach the parking spot above the canyon. There is an alternative parking spot to the west at the other end of the canyon if you plan to climb mainly in the sectors there.
Once you've park at the parking area, it's a 5-10 minutes approach down the valley and depending on which sectors you're going.
Wear approach shoes as the ground is quite loose and steep and there is quite a bit of sharp shrubs around.
Where to stay
It is possible to camp at the parking spot on top of the canyon. The ground is flat and perfect for campers and tents. Great views of the surrounding mountains and the canyon. An old man / park ranger may appear and charge you a seemingly random amount of money for a night. It is possible to bargain with him. Prices in 2023 were around 100TL / night for two people in a camper.
