Saklikent, 50 km from Antalya, is an ideal winter sports resort on the northern slopes of Bakirli Mountain at an altitude of 1,750 to 1,900 meters. In March and April you can ski in the morning, eat a delicious lunch of fresh fish at Antalya’s marina and sunbathe, swim or windsurf in the afternoon. High in the mountains above Fethiye rushing torrents cut a narrow gorge through the mountains, creating Saklikent (Hidden City).
A cool refuge on hot summer days, Saklikent is a favourite picnic spot, with rustic restaurants serving delectable fresh trout. The wildlife, deer and mountain goat in Duzlercami Park, north of Antalya are under a conservation program. On the way, you can stop at the astonishing 115 meter deep Guver Canyon.
Arrival: The resort can be reached from the centre of Antalya by bus, taxi or a hotel service vehicle in one hour.
Geography: The altitude for the skiing areas is between 2000-2400m, with a snow depth between 0.5-1m and a short season.
Facilities: There is a pension with 14 beds, a restaurant, café and local coffee-houses. There are two T-bars, and two ski runs at easy/moderate level.
