Green Canyon Magic: Scenic Boat Tour for Nature Lovers

Magical boattrip

Our travel agency, Yarin Abi in Side recommended this trip to Green Canyon, even if they knew we were Norwegians spoiled with mountains and fjords. Since they normally go out of their way to provide outstanding experiences for us, we went for it, and we never looked back. Busride straight up the winding narrow road to the starting point for the voyage on this green, artificial lake, producing 3% of all electricity used in Turkey, and straight on board the catamaran taking us along this 7km long fjord ending in anarrow gorge where the river came down from the limestone-mountains. A really spectacular ride with steep mountains on each side, studded with fur, pine, cedars, olives which seemed to grow out of the mounainside itself. Go for it! You will never regret this trip.

100% worth the visit

We had a beautiful day! The boat trip was so peaceful, the food supplied was delicious. The only down side is the transfer from alanya to here was around 2hrs!

Response from the operator: Thanks for review have good time in turkey 😊

Green lake/ Green Canyon/ Green Paradise

This tour is a common misselling ploy usually practiced by tour agency representatives you meet in your hotel (agency name or hotel rating don't matter judging by conversations with other tourists on our trip since actual trip organisation is outsourced). There are only about 4 catamarans on the lake, so instead of 4 hour boat trip it is only 2 hour boat trip, soft drinks free, alcoholic ones to be paid extra. This is how our trip looked like, timing is approximate: - picking up guests from their hotels 8.30- 10.00 - bus to the lake 10.00-10.40 -10.40-12.40 catamaran trip, lake and nature are magnificent despite a fire couple of years ago, Roman aqueduct and fairly recently built dumb are impressive. -12.40-13.00 bus journey to the "restaurant' where you have to preorder and not allowed to change your mind afterwards -13.00-14.30 "restaurant', "swimming" and "phishing" -- there are only two "restaurant" huts where all buses stop, be prepared to queue up, poor choice of food with even worse hygiene ( sandwich from M&S is a dream food in comparison) - there were about 5 phishing rods and about 5 buses full of tourists when we were there -few brave souls have tried to swim, water temperature is approximately +12C which is never mentioned by tour guides -14.30-15.30 return journey by bus (we were one of the last ones to get dropped off) I'd rather have a shorter trip and get dropped off at the hotel by lunch Some people booked trip off the main road for about EUR 30.00 and paid on a bus, everyone else who booked through hotel rep paid approximately double as much. Regards and enjoy Green Paradise!
