About this tour

Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Side and heads to the coastal city of Alanya. The first stop of the day is the Sapadere Canyon, a stunning natural site formed by years of wind, water, and ice erosion. Follow your guide on an exciting hike through the canyon and watch out for the array of wildlife that lives, especially colorful birds and butterflies. Once you’ve worked up an appetite from your hike, enjoy a relaxing stopover at a local restaurant and dine on a delicious lunch. Once you’re feeling suitably re-energized, continue your hike through the canyon. As you walk, soak up incredible views of the numerous waterfalls and stop to take photos as a selection of view points. You can also opt to visit Goblin’s Cave for an additional fee, or swim in the mineral waters that trickle down from the Taurus Mountains. Finally, enjoy 2-hours of free time in the city to explore at your own pace and see the sights that interest you most. There’s plenty to discover in Alanya, including Cleopatra Beach, the Red Tower, and the Cable Car to the Alanya Castle. At the end of an unforgettable day, sit back and relax on the return journey to Side.

Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und fanden uns beim Guide Levin und Busfahrer gut aufgehoben. Unsere Tour wurde etwas angepasst, aber wir konnten alles sehen.

Canyon sehr sehenswert, im kalten Wasser baden auch top. Störend fanden wir, dass der Ablauf mehrfach spontan verändert wurde. Die Bananenplantage zu Beginn und die Zwergenhöhle (kostet extra) kann man sich sparen! Zeit für den Aufenthalt in Alanya zu kurz (angegeben waren 2h, tatsächlich 1h) Wir hatten die Seilbahnoption gebucht (zu empfehlen), hier war die Zeit dann sehr knapp.
