Green Canyon Boat Cruise with Lunch
Excursions & day trips

Green Canyon Boat Cruise with Lunch

The star attractions of this full day excursion are shopping, riverside dining and a beautiful, wild canyon. You'll take a canyon boat trip and stop for a swim at Oymapinar Dam Lake. Narin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Oymapinar Dam Lake is one of the largest reservoirs in Turkey, covering an area of approximately 19 square kilometres. The lake is fed by the Manavgat River, which flows south from the Taurus Mountains and eventually empties into the Mediterranean Sea at Side.' Your tour starts with a spot of shopping at Dickman Textile Centre. If fashion is your thing, then you're in luck as you can enjoy a stress-free browse for clothing and accessories from leading brands. Next, we'll head to a riverside restaurant for a freshly prepared meal made with locally sourced ingredients. Afterwards it's all aboard, ready for a cruise down the canyon waterway. Spectacularly rugged rock formations tower around you and the river, in shades of turquoise and green, snakes away into the distance. It's a tranquil slice of Turkish natural beauty and the colour of the water is spellbinding. You'll cruise the canyon, admiring the views, before the boat slows - you'll be able to swim in these wild surroundings once the boat reaches the Oymapinar Lake.

Alanya Castle and Cave Winter Tour with Lunch
Excursions & day trips

Alanya Castle and Cave Winter Tour with Lunch

A tale of two cities, Alanya is a true mix of the old and the new. It's a bustling resort that's home to a medieval castle and picturesque old town, where you'll have free time to explore. To top it off, there are visits to the Damlatas Caves and a shop where gourds are crafted into decorative lamps. Our expert local guide, Aylin, says “this tour factors in lots of different topics, so everyone will find something to catch their attention regardless of their interests. Plus, Turkish culture's on show almost the entire time, so you'll be like an expert on Turkey by the end of the tour.”With this winter tour, you'll start the day at the Damlatas Caves. Filled with stalagmites and stalactites, the cylindrical chamber within is said to cure asthma – that's not a cue to leave your inhaler at home, though. Next up is Seljuk Castle. Topping a headland jutting into the Mediterranean, it was built in the 13th century on the remnants of Roman and Byzantine castles. Explore its watchtower-studded battlements and peer through the holes from where hot oil was poured onto enemies when they were trying to invade the area.Then, you'll continue on to a craft shop where gourds are carefully carved into lamps, with great results. After lunch, the afternoon is yours. Go shopping in Alanya bazaar – market day is Friday – or relax in a café. Or go for a stroll on the gulet-crammed harbour or promenade before it's time to head back to your accommodation.

Where to go

Turkey

Things to do in Alanya

Prehistoric Seljuk ruins, mystical caves and golden-sand beaches are just a few of Alanya’s biggest draws. This ancient town is strategically positioned on a small peninsula on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, just below the Taurus Mountains. Once a stronghold for the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires, Alanya is now a favourite seaside holiday resort with plenty of things to do. Boasting more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the town attracts millions of visitors each year from all over the world. With a unique mix of relaxation, heritage sites and adventure, Alanya is one of the jewels of the Turkish Riviera. The six best things to do in Alanya: 1. Soak up the Turkish sun at Cleopatra beach Boasting long stretches of golden sand and glassy-green water, it’s no wonder Cleopatra beach is considered one of Turkey’s best beaches. Legend has it that it was even Queen Cleopatra’s favourite. Locals claim that the former Egyptian queen was keen on swimming in its bay and used to stop there during her voyages in the Mediterranean. Fast forward to the present day and the beach still retains its charm, as well as offering a catalogue of watersports. Whether you’re all for topping up your tan or you’re more about getting active, Cleopatra beach has something for you. 2. Explore historic Alanya Castle and the Red Tower Perched on top of a 250-metre-high cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, you’ll find Alanya’s 13th-century medieval castle. Its fortified walls rise majestically from the sea and stretch an impressive 6km, making it one of the town’s must-sees. Situated just beneath the castle and next to the old port is the symbol of the town – the Red Tower. This five-story defence tower was built in 1226 to protect the harbour and castle from sea attacks. If history’s your thing, there’s an open-air museum which tells the story of its origins and uses. Nowadays, the tower is a popular photo stop thanks to the spectacular panoramic views offered from the top. It may be five storeys high, but it’s more than worth the climb. 3. Discover the healing Damalatas Caves It’s hard to believe that one of Alanya’s biggest attractions was found by accident. Back in 1948, miners were searching for construction materials when they came across these caves. Situated on the west coast of the peninsula, the Damalatas Caves have been shaped by erosion over thousands of years and feature spectacular stalactites hanging down from the ceiling. As well as their captivating beauty, the caves are also famous for their healing capabilities. With steady temperatures and humidity levels all year-round, many believe the caves are capable of curing asthma. 4. Pamper yourself at a traditional Turkish Bath Visiting the Turkish baths, known locally as hammams, is a national pastime. Having existed in Turkey since ancient times, they’re a special ritual considered a way of cleansing not only the body but also the soul. Various hammam packages are available but the most traditional one includes warming up in the sauna before enjoying a deep exfoliation and foam massage while lying on a heated marble block. This is followed by a truly indulgent classic oil massage – an altogether unmissable experience. 5. Visit Antalya Aquarium If you fancy a break from the sun but don’t want to venture too far from the water, a day trip to one of the world’s biggest aquarium complexes is a must. As well as 40 different thematic aquariums, a shark hall, a submarine cave and an ice museum, Antalya Aquarium also boasts the largest aquarium tunnel in the world. At 131 metres long and 3 metres high, you’re in for a visual extravaganza as you discover the underwater wonders of the aquarium. 6. Get out on the water Alanya’s clear waters and active underwater eco-system make it the perfect place for water sports. You can try out parasailing, jet-skiing, scuba diving and kayaking, to name but a few. If you fancy taking to the waters accompanied by sea creatures, you can snorkel in a tropical reef or swim with stingrays at Sealanya Dolphinpark. And if swimming with dolphins is on your wish list, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to tick it off here.
