Manavgat boat tour from Belek is a peaceful boat ride on the river and the sea with Manavgat Waterfall and bazaar visitation.
The Manavgat River is born high in the Toros Mountains and rambles down to the Mediterranean, meeting the Sea in Antalya. This excursion will show you all the flora and fauna to be found on the river banks as you take a lazy river cruise along the cool waters. This is the perfect day out for sightseers who wish to see the area in a relaxed and laid back manner, where you float along soaking up the calm and serenity of the Manavgat River.
You will sail the waters of the river until you meet the glorious Mediterranean Sea, where fresh water meets salts water. There is nothing like feeling the difference in water temperature as you swim at the estuary, experiencing cold and warm, fresh and salty waters where the river meets the sea.
You will also have the luxury of a shopping trip at the market of Manavgat where you can explore the spices and herbs locally produced, and enjoy the vibrancy of the local clothes and linens. There is nothing quite like the hustle and bustle of a Turkish Market as you browse for bargains or stop for some local street food that is inevitably wafting through the tents of the market place as you shop.
This is a great day out and is suitable for absolutely everyone. You will combine land and sea, relaxation, swimming and shopping. What better way to discover the hidden gems of the area and grab a bargain too!
