Manavgat River Boat Trip — Guide 2026
A slow cruise on the Manavgat River between the town, the pine-fringed banks and the river mouth on the Mediterranean.
Boat trips on the Manavgat River run between Manavgat town and the river mouth on the Mediterranean; many are sold as tours with hotel transfer from Side. Prices, duration and departure times: [DOĞRULANACAK].
The Manavgat River flows down from the Taurus Mountains, past the Manavgat Waterfall and through the town before it reaches the sea east of Side. The lower stretch is calm and wide, and river boats run along it between the town and the river mouth.
A boat trip is an easy, low-effort day out: most of the time you sit on deck and watch the banks go by. It pairs well with the waterfall and — on Mondays and Thursdays — with the Manavgat market.
