• The Second Largest Canyon in the World: It is the second longest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon in the USA; it consists of a main canyon and dozens of connected side canyons. • Massive Dimensions: It has a length of approximately 45 kilometers, a width of 100 to 500 meters, and a depth ranging from 135 to 170 meters. • A Natural Nature Park: It was formed over millions of years by the erosion of the soil by the Ulubey and Banaz streams, and it was declared a Nature Park in 2013. • Historical Heritage: The canyon houses ancient caves, rock tombs, and Pepouza Ancient City, which is considered one of the mysterious centers of early Christianity. • Glass Viewing Terrace: Thanks to its massive glass terrace built 150 meters above the ground, it offers visitors the opportunity to watch the breathtaking view of the canyon from a bird's-eye view.
