Spend a full day exploring Antalya’s inland highlights: a catamaran on Oymapınar (Green Lake), lunch by the reservoir, the roar of Manavgat Waterfall and the ruins of Seleukia. This accessible day tour mixes easy walks, local culture and scenic boat time.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning breeze off the lake cools the bus as you roll toward the jagged silhouette of the Taurus Mountains. By mid‑day you stand at the rail of a catamaran watching emerald water thread through limestone cliffs — Green Lake (Oymapınar Dam) opens like a folded map, cliffs daring you to look closer. The boat slows; reeds gossip along the shore and the dam’s concrete arc hints at modern engineering grafted onto a wild valley.
