Der Ausflug war insgesamt echt schön gewesen und Preis / Leistung in diesem Sinne perfekt. Einen Manko gab es aber. Da meine Mutter gehbehindert ist, haben wir vor der Buchung extra beim Reiseleiter nachgefragt, ob alles möglichst ohne Treppen erreichbar ist. Dies wurde vom Reiseleiter im Hotel bejaht, sodass wir gerne der Buchung zugestimmt haben. Leider hatten wir dann doch den Fall, dass meine Mutter 70 Stufen hoch und runter musste, um zum Boot zu kommen. Sowas geht gar nicht.
A wild canyon and market shopping are the star attractions of this full day excursion. 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.
