Full Description
This full-day combination tour offers a wonderful opportunity to explore stunning scenery, historical towns, and indulge in some fantastic bargain hunting. The Manavgat River Cruise is a relaxing nature and sightseeing tour that takes you to the local waterfalls and then gently sails along the beautiful Manavgat River. The picturesque surroundings on both sides of the boat provide a sense of tranquility as you enjoy the leisurely cruise.
During the tour, you'll also have the chance to visit the vibrant Manavgat market, which features a large mosque and a bustling bazaar. Here, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and find a wide range of items, from dried fruits and spices to clothing and souvenirs. It's the perfect opportunity to showcase your bargaining skills and find some great deals. Remember to bring your wallet and be prepared to haggle for the best prices.
The Manavgat River is a natural gem nestled in the surrounding countryside, located approximately 60km from Alanya and 5km from Side. As the boat sets sail along the serene green waters of the river, keep an eye out for the local wildlife, including turtles nesting in the shade of trees. Feel free to bask in the sun on the boat's roof, enjoying a moment of relaxation and cool breezes to escape the midday heat.
Our boat journey along the Manavgat River takes approximately 2 hours, and it culminates in a special treat—a secluded beach spot where the river merges with the Mediterranean Sea. This unique natural phenomenon combines the cool river water with the warmer saltwater of the sea. You'll have the opportunity to relax on the beach, soak up the sun, or take a refreshing swim in the harmonious blend of waters. As you enjoy the idyllic setting, lunch will be served on board the boat, accompanied by the gentle lapping of waves against the wooden hull.
Afterward, we'll venture into the lively bazaar of Manavgat, where you can witness the bustling daily life as locals shop for their cooking ingredients and everyday necessities. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase your bartering skills as you negotiate with the friendly stall owners for the best prices on souvenirs. The market offers something for everyone, and it's a fantastic place to capture vibrant snapshots of local life, so be sure to bring your camera along. Don't miss the chance to visit the impressive Manavgat Mosque, adorned with four minarets and housing a stunning collection of ornaments. The atmosphere in Manavgat truly exudes an oriental charm.
Please note that this tour operates only on Mondays and Thursdays from April to mid-October to coincide with the local market days, ensuring you get the full experience of this vibrant destination.
