Emerging from the Toros (Taurus) Mountains and running through a number of amazing canyons, Köprüçay flows into the Mediterranean Sea to the south of Serik.
Fed by underground springs in gorges that cut through steep, impassable canyons, the Köprüçay constitutes one of Turkey´s most beautiful natural recreation areas. The numerous archaeological sites in the area, especially the ancient city of Selge (Zerk), the fortresses on the banks of the river, arched Roman bridges and historic roads add to the significance of the Köprülu Canyon.
The Seljuk-era Eurymendon Bridge, which rests on Roman foundations, crosses the river near Belkis.
