Dragon Creek (Turkey)

Its main source is an underground river, which rises to the surface around Sugözü village about 35 km (22 mi) to the Mediterranean Sea coast.

This point is almost in the urban fabric of Anamur and about 3 km (1.9 mi) to the west of Mamure Castle.

A 10 km (6.2 mi) part of the stream to the north of the historical bridge Alaköprü is a popular rafting course.

The highest flow rates are in the spring, and fall to a minimum during the late summer months.

Because of this project Akine, Ormancık and Sarıağaç villages, which were around the creek were relocated by the government.
