Side-Turkey.

If you are staying in Titreyengol, the Green Canyon boat tour collects you from your hotel at around 08:45, drives roughly 30 to 45 minutes to the Oymapinar marina, and puts you on calm water for about 4.5 hours from a 10:00 departure. The price is EUR 35 per adult and EUR 20 per child, hotel transfer included, and we pick up from all 14 Titreyengol hotels listed below.

We are side-turkey.com, Murat Atalay Excursions and Tours, a local operator working between Side and Manavgat, and Titreyengol is one of the simplest areas on our morning route. You can check dates and availability on our Green Canyon boat tour from Side page. Hotel pick-up in Titreyengol is free, and you reserve without paying anything upfront.

What time is the pick-up from Titreyengol?

For Titreyengol hotels the morning pick-up runs at around 08:45. I deliberately say around, because the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel. One minibus covers several hotels on a single loop, so a guest at Kaya Side and a guest at Sorgun Akadia will not be collected at the same minute even though they are on the same vehicle.

The reason the pick-up sits at this hour is the boat itself: the catamaran leaves the Oymapinar marina at 10:00, and we build in time for the hotel loop plus the drive up past Manavgat. You will not be asked to stand outside before dawn for this trip, which is one of the things Titreyengol guests tend to appreciate.

The 14 Titreyengol hotels we collect from

This is the full list of Titreyengol hotels on our regular Green Canyon pick-up route. If your hotel is in this table, you do not need to walk anywhere or find a meeting point; wait in or just outside the lobby a few minutes before your confirmed time.

Staying somewhere in Titreyengol that is not in the table? Write the hotel name in your booking note. The list above covers our standing stops, but the area is compact and we can usually add a nearby hotel to the loop or agree a pick-up point a short walk away. We will tell you honestly if we cannot.

How the morning pick-up actually works

One vehicle collects several hotels in sequence. The driver has a passenger list with names and hotel names, so book under the same name you would give at your hotel reception. The evening before the tour you receive your confirmed time; treat it as your hotel's slot, not a general Titreyengol time, because the loop order can change with the day's list.

What to have ready: swimwear worn under your clothes or in a bag, a towel, sun cream and a hat, and a little cash. Lunch is included at the platform, but restaurant drinks and alcohol are not, so bring enough to cover what you want to drink with your meal. Phones and cameras are fine; the water in the canyon is calm, so you are not fighting sea spray all day.

Be in the lobby about five minutes early. If the minibus has three hotels to visit before yours, a guest who is still at breakfast delays every hotel after them, and the 10:00 boat does not wait long.

How far is Green Canyon from Titreyengol?

Titreyengol sits at the eastern end of the Side hotel strip, which works in your favour here. Green Canyon is the Oymapinar reservoir, a dammed stretch of freshwater about 12 km north of Manavgat town, and the road there runs east and then inland. From Titreyengol the drive to the marina takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic through Manavgat, which puts you at the shorter end of the range compared with hotels out at Kumkoy or Colakli on the western side.

The last section climbs from the Manavgat plain into pine hills, and the first sight of the reservoir from the road is a genuine moment: green water in a rock bowl where you were expecting more forest. Keep the camera reachable for the final ten minutes of the drive.

What the day on the water looks like

The catamaran departs the marina at 10:00 and you spend about 4.5 hours on the water. This is a lake day, not a sea day: the reservoir is flat, fresh water, so nobody spends the trip gripping a rail. The boat moves between the open water and the narrower arms of the canyon, with stops along the way.

Unlimited soft drinks are included onboard. Lunch is served at the platform, and fishing equipment there is included too, so if you have ever wanted to drop a line into a mountain reservoir, this is your chance at no extra cost. Restaurant drinks and alcohol are the only things you pay for on the day.

If loud speakers ruin a view for you, ask us about the music-free catamaran option when you book. It is the same canyon and the same lunch, just without the party soundtrack, and it is the version I recommend to couples and to families with small children who nap. Whichever boat you choose, you can reserve now and pay on the day of the tour.

Prices from Titreyengol and nearby departure points

Titreyengol is collected under our Side departure, so the catamaran price of EUR 35 per adult and EUR 20 per child applies, with the hotel transfer included in that price. For comparison, and for readers researching from other resorts, these are our current Green Canyon prices by departure area:

If you would rather see more of the area in one day, look at the Green Canyon and Oymapinar Dam tour, which adds the dam itself to the boat trip over a longer seven-hour programme, or the nine-hour Mix combo at EUR 25 per adult. Titreyengol guests can join these as well; ask us when you book and we will confirm the pick-up arrangement for your hotel.

Why Titreyengol is an easy base for this trip

The area takes its name from the small lake at its centre, titreyen gol, the trembling lake, and most of its hotels stand between that lake and the Sorgun pine forest. Two things follow from this geography. First, you are already on the Manavgat side of Side, so your transfer is at the short end of the scale and you spend the saved time on the water, not in a minibus. Second, the day finishes early enough to matter: with a 10:00 departure and about 4.5 hours afloat, most Titreyengol guests are back at the hotel by mid-afternoon, in time for the pool, the beach shuttle or an evening walk around the lake.

I would honestly rather sell this tour to a Titreyengol guest than to someone in Antalya city, because the short transfer is what keeps the day relaxed. You are not buying hours in traffic; you are buying hours in a canyon.

Booking from Titreyengol

Booking takes a minute: pick your date on the Green Canyon boat tour from Side page, enter your name and your hotel from the table above, and send it. There is no prepayment; you pay on the day of the tour, and the free hotel pick-up from Titreyengol is part of the price, not an extra. The evening before, we confirm your exact pick-up time, which will be around 08:45 and varies from hotel to hotel. If your plans change, tell us and we will move the date rather than argue about it. That is how a small local operator keeps its reputation in a resort as compact as Titreyengol.

Frequently asked questions

What time will I be collected from my hotel in Titreyengol?

At around 08:45. The exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel, because one vehicle collects several Titreyengol hotels on a single route before driving to the Oymapinar marina for the 10:00 boat.

My hotel is not in your list of 14. Can I still join from Titreyengol?

Usually, yes. The table covers our standing stops, but Titreyengol is compact, so send us your hotel name when you book and we will either add it to the loop or agree a pick-up point a short walk away. If we cannot collect you, we will say so before you commit.
