Rafting on the Melen River

Did you ever wonder why rafting is so popular all over the world? Here in Turkey, we're fortunate to have many rivers that offer great opportunities for rafting.

Last weekend, Bilkent Search and Rescue Society (Bilkent Arama Kurtarma Topluluğu) members and other Bilkenters interested in the sport rafted and paddled down the wild waters of the Melen River. The society's next rafting activity is scheduled to take place on the same river on May 6. Those who are interested can visit www.aramakurtarma.info or contact feridun@ug.bilkent.edu.tr.
