You step off the coastal road into heat, and the Manavgat river greets you with a cool ribbon of shade that dares you to follow it to the sea. Wooden kayaks bob beside a low-deck boat; gulls outline the channel where the river meets the Mediterranean. The day unfolds in three acts: the river’s slow, reed-lined channel, the sudden wash of Manavgat Falls, and the bustling rows of the Grand Bazaar.
