About this activity
A full-day nature and culture tour from Side combining a guided hike through the dramatic Sapadere Canyon—carved by millennia of erosion and dotted with waterfalls—with 2 hours of independent exploration in the historic coastal city of Alanya. Includes hotel pickup, lunch, and the chance to swim in natural mineral pools or visit Goblin's Cave for an extra fee.
Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Side and heads to the coastal city of Alanya. The first stop of the day is the Sapadere Canyon, a stunning natural site formed by years of wind, water, and ice erosion. Follow your guide on an exciting hike through the canyon and watch out for the array of wildlife that lives, especially colorful birds and butterflies.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite from your hike, enjoy a relaxing stopover at a local restaurant and dine on a delicious lunch. Once you’re feeling suitably re-energized, continue your hike through the canyon. As you walk, soak up incredible views of the numerous waterfalls and stop to take photos as a selection of view points. You can also opt to visit Goblin’s Cave for an additional fee, or swim in the mineral waters that trickle down from the Taurus Mountains.
Finally, enjoy 2-hours of free time in the city to explore at your own pace and see the sights that interest you most. There’s plenty to discover in Alanya, including Cleopatra Beach, the Red Tower, and the Cable Car to the Alanya Castle. At the end of an unforgettable day, sit back and relax on the return journey to Side.
