Side-Turkey.

Staying in Kizilot? Our morning pick-up for the Green Canyon boat tour runs at around 08:20, confirmed the evening before because it shifts hotel to hotel. On the Side catamaran booking the fare is EUR 35 per adult and EUR 20 per child, transfers included. Kizilot sits east of Manavgat, so the drive to the Oymapinar marina takes roughly 30 to 50 minutes.

Where Kizilot sits, and why the drive stays short

Kizilot is one of the last resort strips east of Manavgat, out past Kizilagac toward the Gundogdu coast. That eastern position shapes this whole tour. The canyon is the Oymapinar reservoir, calm freshwater about 12 km north of Manavgat town, and the marina we use sits up at the dam. From Kizilot the vehicle runs west along the coast road, threads through Manavgat centre, then climbs the last stretch up to Oymapinar. Depending on where your hotel falls along the Kizilot strip and how the Manavgat junctions move that morning, you are looking at roughly 30 to 50 minutes. Because Kizilot is one of the closer strips to the Manavgat turn-off, we can keep your pick-up later than the resorts sitting further west.

What time we collect you from Kizilot

The Kizilot pick-up runs at around 08:20. That is a guide, not a promise to the minute. One vehicle works the strip, collecting several Kizilot hotels in sequence, so the exact time at your door depends on where your hotel falls in that run. We confirm the real time the evening before, by WhatsApp or through your rep, once the day's order is set. First hotel on the run, you are a shade before 08:20; last on the loop, a shade after. The boat leaves the marina at 10:00 either way, so the whole Kizilot collection is timed to reach Oymapinar with room to spare.

The full list of Kizilot hotels we collect from

Below is every hotel on the Kizilot strip where we run door pick-ups for the Green Canyon tour. If your hotel is on this list, you do not travel anywhere to meet us. If you cannot find your exact name, message us and we will point you to the nearest safe stop, since these Kizilot resorts share a handful of collection points.

All ten Kizilot collection points share the same window because they sit close together along one coast road. The order rotates daily, which is exactly why we confirm your personal time the night before rather than printing a fixed minute against each hotel. To lock it in, reserve online, tell us which of these ten hotels you are in, and the free pick-up is arranged from there with no prepayment.

How the Kizilot pick-up actually works

One vehicle handles the Kizilot run, moving hotel to hotel in a set order and gathering everyone before it heads up to the marina. When you book, give us the hotel name off the list above and, if you know it, the block or reception you will wait at. On the morning, be at the main entrance a few minutes before your confirmed time. The driver keeps to the schedule because the entire strip has to be collected and up at Oymapinar before the 10:00 departure, so one late guest holds up every Kizilot hotel behind them. If anything changes our end, we call ahead; if your plans change, tell us the evening before so we can re-order the run.

What to have ready on the morning

Keep it light. Wear swimwear under your clothes so you can drop straight into the water at the canyon, and bring a towel, sun cream and something for your feet on the platform. The reservoir is freshwater and runs colder than the sea, which is half of why it feels so good in high summer. Carry cash or a card for restaurant drinks and any alcohol, since those are the only things not included. Bring your booking reference and that is genuinely it. Lunch and the fishing gear at the platform are covered, and there are unlimited soft drinks onboard, so there is no need to pack supplies.

What the day on the water looks like

From your Kizilot door we run up to the Oymapinar marina, the boat casts off at 10:00, and you get roughly four and a half hours out on the Side catamaran. This is a music-free stretch of green, still reservoir water walled in by rock, so it reads calmer than a party boat. There are swimming stops in the freshwater, a platform where lunch and fishing gear are laid on, and unlimited soft drinks throughout. Want a longer day that also takes in the dam wall itself? We run a separate Green Canyon and Oymapinar Dam tour that stretches to around seven hours from the Evrenseki side.

Green Canyon prices by departure point

The fare tracks where the transfer starts, not where the canyon is, so it pays to compare before you book. From Kizilot you ride on the Side catamaran booking, the best-value option on this eastern stretch. Here are the real 2026 fares from each departure point so you can see how yours lands.

For Kizilot guests the Side catamaran fare of EUR 35 per adult and EUR 20 per child is the one that applies, and your transfer from any of the ten Kizilot hotels above is folded into it. Reserve without prepayment and settle on the day where that option is offered, which keeps you flexible if the forecast looks shaky.

Why book your Kizilot pick-up with us directly

We are a local operator based in Side and Manavgat, running this eastern route through our own season, so the person confirming your Kizilot pick-up knows the strip and the Oymapinar marina rather than reading it off a screen. Our Green Canyon boat tour includes free pick-up from every Kizilot hotel listed above, unlimited soft drinks onboard, lunch and fishing gear at the platform, and the music-free catamaran if you want the quiet version. Restaurant drinks and alcohol are the only extras. Reserve online without prepayment, name your Kizilot hotel, and we confirm your exact time the evening before.
