Overview

Side to Manavgat Waterfall is the shortest transfer we run, a quarter of an hour along the river towards Manavgat town. Pickup happens right at your Side hotel door, and from there the car heads straight along the riverbank to the waterfall itself, so the whole outing stays contained within an afternoon rather than eating into a full beach day. Whatever the size of your group, a V-Class is generally enough room for this waterfall hop, and the price for the short ride is settled with you in writing well ahead of the day you go. Many guests combine the trip with a look at Manavgat's riverside market or lunch by the water, then head back to Side in the same afternoon. It suits families with young children who want a change of scene without a long car journey.
