What to expect

Inland Anatolia and the Taurus Mountains are a paradise for outdoors lovers. This full day tour includes a self-drive 4x4 safari, a walk through the Canyon of the Eagles, plus visits to ‘Green Cappadocia' and ancient Selge.

First up, you'll journey to Beskonak to learn how to drive your own air-conditioned off-roader. After a quick test run, you'll buckle up ready to bump down tracks and trails into the depths of the Canyon of the Eagles. Soak up the sights of nature on a walk in this idyllic spot before driving along the border of the Koprulu National Park, stopping at lookout points along the way.

After a hearty lunch, you'll explore the ruins of ancient Selge and its amphitheatre, enjoy a visit to nearby vegetation-clad rock formations – known by locals as ‘Green Cappadocia' – and stop off at the ancient Oluk Bridge. In summer, there's a short rafting trip down the River Euromedon, too.

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.
