Manavgat Boat Trip & Grand Bazaar
Tour Details
Why choose between nature, adventure, and shopping when you can have all three in one unforgettable day? Every Monday and Thursday, our comfortable transfer picks you up from your hotel in Side and the surrounding area, and the journey begins.
Nature's Spectacle: Swimming & Lunch at Manavgat Delta
Our boat departs at 10:00 AM, gliding gently along the tranquil Manavgat River. The first stop is the mesmerising Manavgat Delta, where the river spills into the Mediterranean.
A One-of-a-Kind Experience: A narrow strip of sand, barely 50 metres wide, separates the ice-cold freshwater of the river from the warm, salty Mediterranean Sea. Wade in both at the same time, soak up the sun on the beach, and enjoy a delicious lunch included in the price — all in one extraordinary setting.
Colours & Culture: The Grand Manavgat Bazaar
After the delta break, we head to the region's most famous open-air market. You will have 1.5 to 2 hours of free time to roam the buzzing stalls. From quality textiles, genuine leather goods, handbags, and shoes to children's clothing, souvenirs, seasonal fruits, and traditional Turkish sweets — there is something for everyone.
Most vendors accept credit cards alongside cash. Once the shopping spree is over, we return to the boat and transfer you safely back to your hotel.
