Green Canyon
Emerald green, beautiful lake, Taurus Mountains and incredible nature all around. A peaceful all-day boat trip through the stunning Green Canyon.
We leave in the morning around eight o'clock to drive towards Manavgat and the Taurus Mountains. About an hour's drive north of Manavgat, 12 km away, is Turkey's fifth largest Oymapinar dam, which was completed in 1984. Thanks to the dam, a charming lake and a fairy-tale beautiful Green Canyon have formed in nature. When the lake is full, the depth of the water is about 200m.
The boat trip starts from the lake and eventually we end up in the approximately 7 km long Green Canyon. A delicious lunch is enjoyed on land at a local restaurant, but there is also the opportunity to buy refreshments on the boat. There is a swimming opportunity during the boat trip. In the afternoon, around five o'clock, we arrive back in Alanya.
The trip is suitable for all ages. The stairs leading to the restaurant can be a bit challenging for those with poor mobility.
The price of the trip is 45 euros and includes:
- Round-trip transportation
- Boat trip
- Lunch
- Insurance
