What to expect

A wild canyon and market shopping are the star attractions of this full day excursion from Antalya. You'll explore Manavgat farmers' market, enjoy a boat trip through the Green Canyon and stop for a swim at Oymapinar Dam Lake. Narin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘At Manavgat market, you see vendors who are real specialists – one stall will be piled high with walnuts and nothing else, while next door there's a mountain of peppers or pomegranates. I always think markets are a good shortcut to understanding more about local culture and cuisine.'

Once you've had time to take in the colours, scents and sounds of the farmers' market, we'll continue our shopping with a stop at Dickman Textile Centre. If fashion is your thing, then you're in luck as you can enjoy a stress-free browse for clothing and accessories, a great place to practise your haggling skills. Next, we'll head for a riverside restaurant to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch made with locally sourced ingredients.

After lunch, it's all aboard, ready for a cruise down the Green Canyon waterway. Spectacularly rugged rock formations tower over you and the river, in shades of turquoise and green, snakes away into the distance. It's a tranquil slice of Turkish natural beauty. You'll be able to swim in these wild surroundings once the boat reaches the Oymapinar Lake.

    Bis 13 Uhr eine reine Verkaufsveranstaltung, es wurde abgeraten, etwas auf dem Markt zu kaufen, man solle lieber in der Manufaktur kaufen. Da gibt es keine "Berater", was wirklich mal ganz angenehm war. Wir fühlten uns bei Diekmann auch sehr behütet, da wir vorher ein Sicherheitsarmband um das Handgelenk bekommen haben. Dieses dient lediglich der Provision. Jetzt wurde uns auch klar, wieso wir bloß nichts auf dem Markt kaufen sollten. Mittag ok, Bootstour auch...

    Den Besuch in diesem Geschäft kann man sich sparen, die Sachen sind im Vergleich zu teuer. Das Mittagessen war absolut nicht gut. Man hat lediglich einen kleine Portion bekommen und man durfte nur eine Sorte Fleisch auswählen. Ich wollte noch eine kleine Frikadelle, dies wurde aber verneint. Die Fahrt auf dem Green Canyon war mir zu kurz und man hat auch nicht die Stellen gesehen die man auf Bildern oder Videos gesehen hat. Schade, ich war schon etwas enttäuscht.

    Bei der Green Canyon Tour besucht man einen Basar, ein Textiloutlet und dann die Bootstour. Auf dem Basar wird man logischerweise alleine gelassen und kann sich mit den dortigen Verkäufern messen und schlussendlich über den Tisch ziehen lassen ??. Im Textiloutlet Dickman gibt es Fake Markenklamotten, Lebensmittel wie Gewürze und sonstige Haushaltswaren zu erwerben. Die Bootstour war angenehm und alle Crewmitglieder und Guides waren lustig und sorgten für eine lockere Atmosphäre

    Travelled with family

    Bis 13.30 Uhr war alles nur Verkaufsshow und Massenabfertigung. Eine Stunde Busfahrt bis alle Teilnehmer eingesammelt war. Insgesamt nur bedingte Infos über das Land. Das Essen war an einem schönen Ort, aber Dank Busmassen langes Anstehen und das Essen semi. Getränke nicht inbegriffen außer auf der Bootsfahrt. Ab dem Teil im Canyon war es sehr schön, aber insgesamt ist das nichts für einen Ausflug mit Kind und auch nicht für Leute, die kein Interesse am Shoppen haben!

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present

Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Exploring Antalya's Nomadic Culture

The foothills of the Taurus mountains have been a region of travel and trade for millennia. On this National Geographic tour, you'll embrace the region's ancient traditions that are still thriving today and immerse yourself in the nomadic lifestyle by visiting a Yörük family. Head over to the Seljuk bridge at Aspendos with your guide who will reveal alluring facts about the site. Built around the 4th century on the banks of Köprüçay, this architectural marvel is renowned for its distinctive zigzag design, a testament to its intriguing history. Continue your voyage and head over to an ancient caravanserai, where much of the original layout remains remarkably intact. Step back in time as you wander through the inn's chambers, guardian's quarters, bathhouse, and prayer hall alongside your guide. This is a place that radiates history, where countless travelers sought refuge and replenishment. The Yörük people have perfected their nomadic lifestyle for centuries. Every spring, communities migrate with their herds from the gentle coastal plains to the mountainous summer pastures. Spend time with a Yörük family and learn about their sustainable ways of life. Tuck into a tasty meal with eye-catching views of the Taurus mountains. Nearby, you'll find a spot to purchase locally-made goods like soaps, teas, oils, and more. Proceeds support communities affected by recent earthquakes or forest fires. Finally, Explore Ormana, an Ottoman village famous for its ingeniously crafted 'button houses'.
