With many small tour operators and travel agents in Alanya, booking a trip couldn't be simpler. Whether it's a bus tour, a boat
trip or a full 3 day excursion, there's sure to be something to suit. However, it is worth checking around for the best prices.
There can be significant differences between different operators.
Although many of the trips can
be organized by your holiday representative or through your tour
operator, considerable savings can often be made by shopping around.
JEEP
SAFARI
The opportunity to see inland
Turkey with an adventurous trip through the Taurus Mountains. You
will see wonderful scenery and have the opportunity to stop in one
of the small villages on route. Lunch is normally included in the
price.
QUAD SAFARI
A safari over some rocky terrain
in a quad bike. This can be a great way of discovering the beauty of
inland Turkey and the Taurus mountains.
WHITE
WATER RAFTING
A day of rafting on the crystal
clear water of the Koprulu River. Even in the summer months, the
water can be cold. But, with the exhilaration of the rafting, you
will soon get used to it.
The Koprulu River flows gently
through the magnificent landscape of Koprulu Canyon National Park
and has become a popular holidaymaker attraction for visitors.
With expert rafting guides to
brief you on National Park safety procedures and use of the
equipment, you may be given the choice of an inflatable canoe or
raft. No previous rafting experience is necessary but the Kayaks and
Canoes generally provide a more active rafting trip and are more
suited to experienced or adventurous rafters.
The rafts normally hold 8 to 10
people including the guide although they can accommodate a few more
for larger parties. Life jackets must be worn by all. This safety
measure also gives non-swimmers the opportunity to enjoy the
experience as well as swimmers.
Lunch is normally included and
is served at one of the stopping places along the river.
DIVING
In Alanya, diving
lessons and special training are available for different levels of
expertise. The trainers are well qualified
and use modern equipment allowing you to enjoy the beautiful
underwater scenery in safety and comfort. It's a great opportunity
to experience the underwater world of this part of the Mediterranean
in Turkey.

TURKISH NIGHT
