Alanya Green Canyon Tour Itinerary

1. Morning Pick-up and Scenic Drive

Your journey starts with a comfortable pick-up from your Alanya hotel in a modern, air-conditioned bus. As we drive toward the Taurus Mountains, our professional guides will share interesting facts about the local culture and the engineering marvel of the Oymapınar Dam.

2. Arrival at Oymapınar Dam

Before boarding the boat, we stop at the dam’s panoramic viewpoint. As Turkey’s fifth-highest dam, it offers a spectacular vantage point for photos of the vast "Green Lake" stretching out below.

3. Grand Canyon Boat Cruise

Board our spacious boat and set sail into the heart of the canyon. The silence of the nature, broken only by the sound of the water, creates a meditative environment. You will navigate through narrow passages where the sunlight plays beautifully on the emerald-colored water.

4. Lakeside Lunch & Relaxation

Midday, we dock at a charming lakeside restaurant for a freshly prepared BBQ lunch. Enjoy grilled chicken, meatballs, or fish served with rice and salad while overlooking the tranquil water. After lunch, you have free time to sunbathe on the deck or dive back into the lake for another swim.

5. Return Journey to Alanya

After a final relaxing cruise through the lower canyon, we return to the pier. Our bus will be waiting to transport you back to your hotel in Alanya, arriving just in time for your evening plans, feeling completely refreshed.
