Green Canyon Tour from Alanya — Transfer, Price & Pickup
Staying in Alanya and want to do the Green Canyon Tour? Here's exactly what that looks like. The pickup point sits roughly 56.4 km away, an estimated 70-minute transfer, with hotel pickup in the 07:30 – 09:00 window. The tour runs 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and costs €45 per person. Right now the sea is around 21°C with high crowds — Reliable sunshine, sea warming up. Excellent all-round touring weather.. About staying in Alanya: Alanya is a lively coastal city dominated by a rocky peninsula crowned with a medieval castle and the red-brick Seljuk tower above the harbour. It mixes long beaches, sea caves and a buzzing resort nightlife with genuine history. Nearby you'll find Alanya Castle, Red Tower (Kızıl Kule), Damlataş Cave. Alanya is about 125 km east of Antalya Airport (AYT), roughly a 1 hour 45 minute drive; Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) is much closer, around 40 km east. From our guides on the ground: A calmer, scenery-led boat day on the emerald Oymapınar reservoir rather than open sea, so the water is flat and good for nervous swimmers. We cruise the 14 km canyon with swimming breaks in cool, clear green water — it's noticeably colder than the sea, which is refreshing in high summer. Bring a towel, sunscreen and a light cover-up for the shaded sections. Photography is excellent throughout. Best for couples, families and anyone wanting nature over nightlife.

Traveller reviews
Pickup route took time because of other hotels, but the canyon itself was worth seeing.
Nice day for couples. Less noise, more scenery, and enough time to just sit and look around.
The lake felt peaceful even with other boats around. We came back properly relaxed.
The pickup route took longer than we expected because there were several hotels, but the canyon itself was worth the slow start. The lake color is beautiful, especially in the narrower sections. Lunch was simple, and shaded seats on the boat filled quickly. I would still recommend it for a calmer nature day.
Good value nature trip. Bring a towel if you plan to swim.
My wife gets tired of busy excursions, and this was the one she enjoyed most. There was time to sit, swim, take photos, and actually relax without being pushed into activities. The guide gave a little information but mostly let the scenery do the work. It was exactly what we needed mid-holiday.
