Manavgat holidays - beautiful river setting
For sun and wildlife lovers, Manavgat is an ideal holiday destination. This lively Turkish town not only boasts a commanding position just inland on Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast, it also straddles the stunning river Manavgat, and is flanked by a verdant valley. If you and your family are interested in ancient history and archaeology, Manavgat will also appeal for its close proximity to the ancient ruins of Side, just 7 km away. Manavgat is about 80 km from Antalya airport. This region of Turkey known as Antalya offers the country’s most beautiful beaches. Popular beaches worth visiting, if you want to explore beyond Manavgat, are Konyaalti and Lara.
Holidays to Manavgat - dine next to majestic waterfalls
A major natural attraction on Manavgat’s doorstep are the impressive Manavgat Waterfalls. While foaming water cascades over rocks in this lush setting, you can enjoy a drink in the shady tea gardens or dine in the riverside restaurants. Many visitors to Manavgat take a day trip sightseeing to Side, which often also includes a stop at the waterfalls, enjoyed for the coolness of the air, particularly in the evenings. From Manavgat you can also take a boat trip up the river, or go hiking or mountain biking in the nearby Taurus Mountains. For shopping, entertainment and culture head to the region’s capital Antalya, or for a fun day out and to top up the tan, head to the lively beach resort of Alanya.
