About This Tour

This is a full-day combination tour from Side and Manavgat that links several of the region’s main sights in one organised route. After morning hotel pickup you travel by open-top or safari-style vehicle through the countryside, stopping at Manavgat Central Mosque, Manavgat Waterfall and the quiet Roman-era site of Seleukeia (also known as Lyrbe).The afternoon focuses on Green Canyon / Green Lake — the calm freshwater reservoir behind Oymapınar Dam. You board a boat for a scenic cruise between forested cliffs, with a swimming stop in the cool emerald water. Lunch is served at a lakeside restaurant.The pace is moderate rather than rushed, designed for visitors who want variety without booking separate trips. It suits families, couples and anyone on a short stay who wants to see waterfall, ancient ruins, mountain scenery and a lake boat ride in a single day.Expect around eight hours door-to-door. Bring swimwear, a towel, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and a light cover-up for the mosque stop. Drinks outside lunch and any optional extras are not included. It is one of the most practical “see a bit of everything” days available from Side.

Local Tip

Green Canyon and Köprülü Canyon are different places — this tour uses the calm Green Lake reservoir for the boat and swim, not white-water rafting. Pack your swimsuit even if the morning feels cool; most people end up swimming once they see the water.
