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 there, 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 at a selection of viewpoints. 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 Alanya Castle. At the end of an unforgettable day, sit back and relax on the return journey to Side.

Es war nur einAbfahren der angegebenen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wobei ich den Fahrer für seine tolle Fahrweise loben möchte. Hätte mir aber vom Guide gewünscht, das er während der Gahrt einfach etwas über Land und Leute erzählt.

Top Tour mit Ali (Baba). Für uns etwas zu umfangreiches Programm. Alanya inklusive Burg und Altstadt hätte als Tagestour gereicht. Buchen gerne wieder. 👌

Leider war die Zeit nach der Seilbahnfahrt viel zu kurz um von der Burganlage mehr zu sehen. Da sollte es eine Ausfahrt geben die mehr Zeit für die Burg einplant, ich denke so 3-4 Stunden sollte man da 9ben schon haben.

De busrit is vrij lang en bepaalde stops zou ik persoonlijk overslagen. Een stop van 10 minuten aan een bananenplantage vind ik weinig zinvol zeker gezien je de hele rit bananenplantages ziet. De lunch eenvoudig maar lekker. De tijd aan de Sapadere canyon was ok maar als je de kabellift bijboekt wil je echt wel meer tijd doorbrengen aan het kasteel. Ik begrijp niet dat mensen kiezen om dit niet bij te boeken en opereren voor te shoppen in de meer dan 100 zelfde winkels. Antalya zelf lijkt me geen meerwaarde. Mocht er meer tijd voorzien worden aan het kasteel zou ik de trip opnieuw boeken. De communicatie met het kantoor was geweldig, zeer snel antwoord op al je vragen en super behulpzaam. Zij verdienen een dikke 10/10

Die Tour war gut organisiert und sehr pünktlich. Stop an der Bananenplantage war zwar kurz, aber unnötig, aber bei den Rauchern willkommen. Tropfsteinhöhle kostete 4,50 € , war ok. Man hatte einen schönen Blick. Sepadere Canyon war einmalig, es haben sich auch ein paar mutige Leute gefunden, die in dem 8 Grad kalten Wasser gebadet haben. Brrr... Die Fahrt mit der Seilbahn in Alanya auf die Zitadelle hoch war sehr schön, aber man hatten nur 1 Stunde Zeit. Definitiv zu kurz! Insgesamt war es ein ereignisreicher, lohnender Ausflug!
