About Manavgat
Manavgat is the district capital east of Antalya, on the river of the same name — distinct from its own coastal resort area, Side. The town is defined by shaded riverside promenades, plane-tree restaurants, the wide Manavgat Waterfall park, and a bustling weekly outdoor market. Most visitors arrive as day-trippers from nearby Side or Belek resorts for a river boat cruise, the waterfall or the bazaar, so local accommodation is mostly modest town-centre hotels and business apartments rather than beach resorts — this is Turkish river-town life, not a resort base.

Journey Details & FAQs

Standard sedans fit 1–4 suitcases; larger groups or extra luggage should choose a Vito or Sprinter.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, so your driver adjusts pickup time automatically at no extra charge.
Can I combine a transfer with a tour?
Yes — many travellers book an airport transfer to their hotel first, then a separate private tour once settled in.
