Your Kemer to Manavgat Itinerary

1. Morning Pick-Up from Kemer

Your adventure begins at approximately 08:00 AM. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as we drive toward the town of Manavgat, enjoying the scenic views of the Antalya coastline along the way.

2. Manavgat Waterfall Exploration

Our first stop is the magnificent Manavgat Waterfall. You will have free time to walk around the park, feel the cool mist of the falls, and capture stunning panoramic photos of the white foam crashing over the rocks.

3. Tranquil River Cruise & Lunch

Next, we board our traditional wooden boat for a cruise down the Manavgat River. During the journey, you will:

  • See local fish farms and riverside pelicans.

  • Enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch (grilled chicken or fish, pasta, and fresh salads) served on deck.

  • Relax as the boat moves toward the "Dolphin Island" area or the river mouth.

4. Free Time at the Grand Bazaar

After the cruise, we head to the heart of the town. You will have several hours of free time at the Manavgat Market. This is the perfect place to:

  • Test your bargaining skills for leather, jewelry, and clothing.

  • Buy fresh local tea, delight, and aromatic spices.

  • Experience the authentic daily life of the local people.

5. Dickman Textile Center Visit

Before heading back, we make a stop at the famous Dickman Textile Center. This is a great opportunity to find premium Turkish towels, linens, and clothing at outlet prices.

6. Return to Kemer

After a full day of sightseeing and shopping, we depart Manavgat. You will be transferred back to your hotel in Kemer around 18:00, just in time for your evening meal.


Essential Tips for the Manavgat Tour

  • Comfortable Shoes: You will be doing a fair amount of walking at the market and the waterfall, so wear sneakers or comfortable sandals.

  • Cash is King: While many shops at the Bazaar accept cards, you will get better deals and find it easier to buy small items with Turkish Lira (TRY) or small Euro/Dollar bills.

  • Sun Protection: The boat has shaded areas, but the reflection from the water is strong. Bring sunscreen and a hat.

  • Bargaining: At the Grand Bazaar, bargaining is part of the culture! Don't be afraid to negotiate the price for souvenirs and clothing.

Wowee, what a fabulous boat tour this was! Took the whole family and we loved every bit of it. Cruising along the Manavgat River was like another world—so peaceful and lush! The kids especially got a kick out of the waterfall, and the Grand Bazaar was bursting with colors and smells! Perfect photo ops everywhere! And don't even get me started on the lunch; BBQ on a boat with those views? Heck yeah! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!
