Side Mix Tour with Open-Top Safari Bus,
Green Canyon & Manavgat Falls

Side Mix Tour is an invitation to slow down and experience the softer side of Antalya’s most beautiful landscapes. Designed for travelers who want more than crowded stops and rushed schedules, this full-day journey blends nature, culture, and calm discovery into one seamless experience.

Your day unfolds aboard open-top safari buses, where fresh mountain air and panoramic views replace windows and noise. From the peaceful atmosphere of a local mosque to the refreshing mist of Manavgat Waterfall, every stop is chosen to create balance rather than rush. As the road climbs into the Toros Mountains, the scenery changes—quiet villages, fruit gardens filled with the scent of orange blossoms, and endless shades of green begin to define the journey.

The highlight of the day is the serene Green Canyon, where emerald waters meet dramatic cliffs. A relaxing boat tour on the lake allows you to truly disconnect, whether you choose to swim, photograph the reflections, or simply enjoy the stillness. Along the way, gentle encounters with local life and a short visit to a small zoo add warmth and authenticity without breaking the peaceful rhythm of the tour.

This is not about ticking boxes—it’s about experiencing Side at a natural, unhurried pace. One day, many landscapes, and a feeling of calm you’ll carry with you long after the tour ends.
