The experience

Your day begins with pickup from your Alanya hotel at 8:30am. A professional guide meets you on the air-conditioned bus and briefs you on the route while the drive heads inland toward Oymapınar. The road itself is worth the camera. You'll pass a 2,000-year-old Roman bridge built during the Roman period, and views open up as you climb away from the coast toward the dam.

Once at the lake, you board for a two-hour sail through Green Canyon's emerald waters. The boat makes swimming stops along the way, so bring your swimsuit. The canyon's two rock formations frame the water, and the Oymapınar Dam creates the lake itself. After the boat trip, lunch waits at a lakeside restaurant where you have time to eat and relax by the water before the return journey. Soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages are included throughout the day.

The bus collects you from the port and drives back to Alanya in the afternoon, dropping you at your hotel. The full day runs roughly eight hours from pickup to return.
