Itinerary
Day 1
Hotel pick-up and transfer to Green Canyon (Oymapınar Dam)
We collect guests from hotels across Alanya and drive toward Oymapınar Dam. The drive takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes and passes scenic views of the Taurus Mountains and local village houses.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready 10 minutes before your confirmed pick-up time and wait outside your hotel security gate as requested by the operator.
- Wear comfortable shoes for the short walk from the minibus to the boat; bring a light jacket for early-morning sea breezes.
- If you need a specific pick-up time or have mobility needs, notify the operator in advance so they can plan the route.
Green Canyon (Oymapınar Dam) — boat tour, swimming, lunch and free time
Arrive at Oymapınar Dam (Green Canyon). Board the boat for a guided cruise with scheduled swimming breaks. Lunch is served at the restaurant next to the barrage; unlimited soft drinks are provided with the meal. After lunch there is time to stroll by the dam or fish (fishing equipment can be provided if requested to the guide).
Tips from local experts:
- Bring swimwear, a towel, and a waterproof bag for personal items; there will be swimming breaks from the boat.
- If you want to fish, tell your guide on arrival so equipment can be provided; bring a small towel and a hat for shade while fishing.
- Sunscreen and a refillable water bottle are recommended — the operator provides soft drinks with lunch but bring water for the boat if you prefer it during swimming breaks.
Return transfer and hotel drop-off in Alanya
After the boat, lunch and free time at the barrage, reboard the bus for the drive back to Alanya. Guests are dropped back at their original pick-up hotels (drop-off order may vary).
Tips from local experts:
- Keep personal items and any fishing catch with you when boarding the bus for the return trip to avoid delays at drop-off.
- Expect the drop-off sequence to follow the most efficient route; your exact drop-off time will vary by hotel location.
- If you need assistance carrying luggage or have mobility concerns at drop-off, inform the guide before departure from the dam.
