Itinerary
Side Cabrio Safari starts with a pick up from your hotel during the morning. You will be accompanied by your guide, who is responsible to offer you some important insights about the places that you are going to visit.
The first stop of your full-day excursion will be at a local mosque. The mosque is located at Manavgat. There, your tour guide will let you know about the religion’s traditions and culture, as well as the history of the place.
A second stop will be at the famous Manavgat Waterfall. This stop will have an approximate duration of 30 minutes, which is enough time to observe and admire this natural wonder. Manavgat Waterfall is the perfect spot for photo shooting, so feel free to capture the natural beauty of this location. Please note that entrance to the Waterfall has an extra charge.
Your countryside exploration continues with an off-road safari. The vehicle will be driving on dusty and wet countryside roads. Be prepared for some major car fights with water and dust and enjoy it at its maximum. The off-road driving will continue until your next stop at a village. There you will visit a tea garden and you can taste the Turkish pancakes or gözleme.
After this short break the Side Cabrio Safari excursion continues towards the Ancient City of Seleukeia. During your stop there, your guide will explain and give you some important hinds about the city’s history. It is a 2500 years old ancient city that is located near Bucakşeyhler village. The city is a great example of ancient architectural design. You will be also able to see mosaics from the Hellenistic period.
Then, the off-road driving continues and during the route you will have multiple short stops and photo breaks. During these photo breaks you will be able to see and learn information about the 1800-year-old Naras Bridge, Roman Aqueducts and Oymapınar Dam that are dating back to the Roman period.
Your next stop is the Green Lake. At a lake-side local restaurant, lunch will be served that includes grilled fish or chicken or meatballs, rice, pasta, salad and fruits. After the lunch, you will have an hour and a half free time at this beautiful place. During this free time, you can swim in the clear turquoise lake waters or you can go kayaking or if you like, you can try your luck at fishing by using the fishing tackles at the facility.
There is also a boat waiting here for you to take you on a tour on Green Lake. You will have a boat tour of about one hour on the turquoise waters of Green Lake.
After this long break here, you will be back on the bus to go to our last stop of the tour, a mini zoo. You can see and take photos of rare animals at this cute place located among the woods. Then, we will return to the town and leave all our guests to their hotels at around 16.30.

Exciting Mix Tour of Beautiful Journeys
We had a nice mix tour today. The pickup was well organized via WhatsApp and Bartu responded quickly and confidently. The guide spoke good German and told many details. Especially liked and the boat trip with the bath break in the lake. We can only recommend this trip. Thanks again Bartu.
Fabulous bus sight tour
From start to finish the mixed bus tour was absolutely amazing. So informative and much more comfortable than a jeep. First stop was a mosque, lots of photo stops for views & ruins, next we went to ruins up Taurus mountain, then drove up to the green valley canyon & damn with a traditional tea stop.tea. Next was a breakfast stop with tea & pancake at extra cost also had walk around viewing the local trees & plants like orange, pomegranate & lemon. Next a hour long boat ride on green lake followed by a delicious lunch. After lunch we visited a mini zoos& lastly onto Manavgavat Waterfalls. All in all the best day trip I have ever been on and it was really cheap as booked through Excursion Mania by Dalin
