Day Trips & Culture
Pamukkale's travertines, Manavgat's grand bazaar and the coast's storied day excursions.
Day Trips & Culture ★ Bestseller Pamukkale Tour from Antalya – Travertines, Hierapolis & Full-Board Day Trip
Our longest day, and the one guests least regret: white travertine terraces, the ruined spa city above them, three meals on the road, a flat €50 per person.
Day Trips & Culture Tahtalı Olympos Cable Car Tour: Summit of Mount Olympos from Kemer
Trade the beach for the clouds on a half-day trip to the summit of Mount Tahtalı — the ancient Olympos — at 2,365 m. After a comfortable morning hotel pickup in the Kemer area, glide up one of the world's longest cable-car lines in a spacious panoramic cabin: the Mediterranean shrinking below, the Taurus peaks rising ahead. At the top you'll find viewing terraces, a summit café and unhurried time for photos before the descent and return transfer. Free reservation, pay on the tour day, free cancellation up to 24 hours.
Day Trips & Culture Sapadere Canyon Tour from Side & Alanya: Waterfalls, Wooden Walkways and Ice-Cold Pools
A full-day escape from the beach into the Taurus Mountains: follow the wooden boardwalk above the river of Sapadere Canyon, swim in ice-cold waterfall pools, add the optional Dwarves Cave and sit down to an included lunch of grilled fish or chicken. Hotel pickup from the Side area and Alanya, professional local guide and insurance included. Reservation is free — you pay on the tour day, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
Day Trips & Culture Alanya Tandem Paragliding: Fly from 700 m Down to Cleopatra Beach
Take off from a hill roughly 700 metres above Alanya, glide out over the Mediterranean with a licensed tandem pilot, and touch down on the sand of Cleopatra Beach. No experience needed — your pilot flies, you enjoy the view. Hotel pickup in the Alanya area is included, and departures with round-trip transfer are available from Side, Belek and Antalya. Equipment, briefing and insurance are covered; reservation is free, you pay on the tour day, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
Day Trips & Culture Side Horse Riding: Guided Pine Forest & Beach Ride with Hotel Pickup
Swap the pool for a saddle on a guided ride through the countryside behind Side. After hotel pickup you'll meet your horse at a local ranch, get a helmet and a short lesson, then follow shaded pine-forest paths that open out towards the Mediterranean, with a beach section along the shoreline before the ride loops back. Calm, well-schooled horses and instructors who match each rider to a suitable mount make it genuinely beginner-friendly, while confident riders may be offered a faster stretch when the guide judges it safe. Children can join from around age six with staff support. Reservation is free, you pay on the tour day, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
Day Trips & Culture Perge, Aspendos & Kurşunlu Waterfall: Ancient Cities Day Trip from Antalya
Trade the beach for the ancient world for a day. This guided excursion from Antalya visits Perge's colonnaded streets and Roman baths, the magnificent 2nd-century theatre of Aspendos, and the pine-shaded Kurşunlu Waterfall. Hotel pickup, licensed guiding and lunch are included; official entrance tickets are listed upfront and paid at the gate. Reserve free, pay on the tour day, cancel free up to 24 hours before.
Day Trips & Culture Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour — Sunrise Flight over the Travertines with Hotel Pickup
Trade one night of hotel sleep for a memory very few take home from Turkey: a sunrise hot air balloon flight above the snow-white travertine terraces of Pamukkale. We collect you from your hotel while the coast is still asleep, drive you inland to the launch field, and as first light spreads you lift off for roughly an hour in the air — mineral pools glowing below, the ruins of ancient Hierapolis stretched across the ridge. After landing there is a traditional celebration, then a relaxed transfer back, reaching your hotel in the afternoon. Licensed pilots, flight insurance included, and honest weather rules: if the pilot grounds the flight for safety, you reschedule free of charge.
Day Trips & Culture 2-Day Pamukkale Tour with Salda Lake & Overnight Thermal Hotel Stay
Most visitors see Pamukkale for a hurried hour after a long drive. This two-day excursion turns it into a proper journey: travel inland from your hotel on the Antalya coast, explore the ruins of Hierapolis and walk the white travertine terraces with time to spare, then sleep at a hotel near Pamukkale with dinner and breakfast included. Day two adds an optional sunrise hot air balloon flight over the terraces, the ancient Necropolis, the red thermal springs of Karahayit and a stop at turquoise Salda Lake — often called the 'Turkish Maldives' — before an evening return to your resort. Hotel pickup, entrance to the travertines and a professional guide are included. Reservation is free and you pay on the tour day.
Day Trips & Culture Kekova Sunken City, Demre & Myra Day Tour from Antalya
Trade the beach for the most storied stretch of Turkey's Lycian coast. This full-day excursion from Antalya brings together the Church of St. Nicholas in Demre — where the real Santa Claus served as bishop — the rock-cut tombs and Roman theatre of ancient Myra, and a boat cruise gliding over the sunken city of Kekova, its walls and stairways visible beneath clear turquoise water. Hotel pickup, guiding and lunch are included; reservation is free and you pay on the tour day.
Day Trips & Culture Cappadocia Tour from the Antalya Coast – 2 or 3 Days with Hotel Stay, Underground City & Fairy Chimneys
Trade the beach for a landscape carved by volcanoes and ancient hands. Our Cappadocia tour collects you from hotels along the Antalya coast and carries you across the Taurus Mountains to Goreme's fairy chimneys, cave churches and a multi-level underground city. Choose the classic 2-day escape with one half-board hotel night, or the relaxed 3-day route that adds Konya's Mevlana Museum, a Seljuk caravanserai and a full valley-hopping day. An optional sunrise balloon flight can be arranged by your guide, weather permitting. Free reservation, free cancellation up to 24 hours, pay on the tour day.
Day Trips & Culture Antalya City Tour: Düden Waterfalls, Kaleiçi Old Town & Harbour Boat Trip
One river, two completely different waterfalls, a walled Ottoman quarter and an hour on the water. Antalya in a single day, with lunch, guide and hotel transfers included.
Day Trips & Culture Altınbeşik Cave & Ormana Village Tour from Side: Boat Ride on Turkey's Largest Underground Lake
Swap the beach for the Taurus Mountains on a Monday, Thursday or Saturday day trip from Side. Glide by boat across the underground lake of Altınbeşik Cave — Turkey's largest underwater cave and the heart of its only cave national park — then wander Ormana's Seljuk-era button houses, built without mortar, and sit down to a traditional village lunch. Hotel pickup, guide and lunch included; free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
Day Trips & Culture Alanya City Tour with Castle, Cable Car, Boat Trip & Bazaar
Spend one unhurried day getting to know Alanya properly. After a morning hotel pickup, climb to the 13th-century Seljuk castle for views across both bays, then glide down the hillside by cable car to the Damlataş beachfront. A one-hour boat trip circles the castle peninsula — keep an eye out for dolphins — before a lunch stop at a restaurant right on the Dim River. The afternoon ends with free time in the bazaar and a relaxed drive back to your hotel. Reservation is free and you pay on the tour day, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Day Trips & Culture Manavgat River Boat Cruise & Grand Bazaar Day from Side
River cruise, a swim where the Manavgat meets the sea, a foam party and two hours at the Grand Bazaar. Ten hours from Side for €21, but only on Mondays and Thursdays.
Day Trips & Culture Manavgat Market & River Boat Tour from Belek
Market day out of Belek: the vast open-air bazaar at Manavgat first, then a wooden boat down the river to a shaded lunch. Seven hours, guide and transfers in the price.
Day Trips & Culture Alanya to Manavgat Boat Trip & Riverside Bazaar
A deliberately slow day inland from Alanya: pine air, a swim in the Green Canyon reservoir, a buffet eaten afloat, and the riverside bazaar at Manavgat.
