Full description
Are you ready to discover one of the largest and most popular markets in the Antalya region while embarking on an unforgettable river journey on the same day? Our exclusively tailored Manavgat Market and Boat Tour is meticulously designed to provide a perfect harmony of relaxation, shopping, and entertainment. Your day begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer from your hotel directly to the pier. At exactly 10:00 AM, our spacious boat sets sail along the tranquil Manavgat River, surrounded by lush green landscapes, offering you a peaceful retreat from the bustling holiday resorts.
The absolute highlight of the river cruise is our extended swimming break at the spectacular river mouth, locally known as the Bosphorus. Here, nature presents a phenomenal contrast, allowing our guests to choose between diving into the crystal-clear, freezing sweet waters of the Manavgat River or swimming in the warm, salty waves of the Mediterranean Sea. After working up an appetite, a delicious, freshly cooked lunch will be served onboard. As the afternoon progresses, our boat takes a brief cruise into the open sea, transforming into a vibrant entertainment venue with an energetic foam party, guaranteeing smiles and fun for all age groups.
Following the river and sea adventure, our boat docks back at the pier, transitioning into the cultural and shopping phase of your tour. You will be granted two full hours of free time to explore the colossal Manavgat Grand Bazaar. Held only on Mondays and Thursdays, this sprawling market is the ultimate destination for holidaymakers looking to purchase high-quality textiles, aromatic spices, fresh local produce, and traditional gifts. For those who wish to see more natural wonders, our professional guides can assist in arranging a quick visit to the world-famous Manavgat Waterfall during your free time, making this tour a truly comprehensive Mediterranean experience.
During your two-hour free time at the Manavgat Grand Bazaar, we offer an exclusive optional visit to the breathtaking Manavgat Waterfall. This natural wonder is a highly recommended attraction in the region. If you wish to witness the powerful, wide cascades of the waterfall and capture amazing photographs, our professional guide will happily assist you with the necessary directions and arrangements.
