About this experience

You’ll be picked up in front of your hotel by a comfortable cabrio bus. First stop is a beautiful Mosque you’ll visit. Experience the local culture and beliefs, then you’ll be driven to the Manavgat Waterfall. Although the fall has only a few meters height, the natural beauty of this place will catch you. Its flow is high enough to create the typical sound and foaming water. Next, you’ll view Aqueducts from ancient Roman times as well as an old village house, where history comes to life again in seleukeia ( lybre ). Then you’ll reach to Green Lake, which has been built by humans. Enjoy the peace and calmness of this place and have lunch in the Green Lake restaurant. The panorama restaurant offers you a perfect view over the reservoir. Use your free time for doing water sports like swimming or fishing. You’ll take a photo break at the Oymapınar Dam for Green Canyon view and then our guests will explore an orange garden before returning to your accommodation.
