Full Description

Side Jeep Safari to Green Lake and the Taurus Mountains

From Side’s coast to the shores of Green Lake

Leave the resort roads behind and head into the Taurus foothills. Your driver takes the jeep along village lanes and bumpy mountain tracks.

Look out for an old Roman bridge and aqueducts along the route. Short stops give you time to step out and take photos.

Green Lake and Oymapınar

At Oymapınar, look out over Green Lake, the wooded hills and the dam. The water is one of the day’s most striking sights.

In suitable summer conditions, you may have time to swim or join the water games between jeeps. These activities pause in winter.

Lunch by the lake

Lunch at a lakeside restaurant is included. Take your time over the meal and enjoy the view. Drinks are extra.

If offered, you can join an optional Green Lake boat ride of about an hour for an extra charge.

The route may include Manavgat Waterfall. If the convoy stops there, the entrance fee is paid separately.

An easy day out from Side

Hotel pickup and return are included from Side and the listed resort areas. Meet your driver at the hotel’s main exterior entrance.

How the experience is organised

This is a guided jeep outing with a driver. The journey through village lanes and mountain tracks is part of the day. At Green Lake, you can spend the break beside the water or join the optional boat ride when it is offered. The lakeside lunch is part of the tour. Water games and swimming depend on the season and conditions.
