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.
