Quick answer
Cruise the mirror-still, jade-green waters of the Oymapınar reservoir, dive into cool mountain coves, and lunch on deck beneath the pine-clad cliffs of the Taurus range.
Some days on the water simply stay with you, and a slow cruise through Green Canyon is one of them. It starts the easy way, with a cool morning pickup from your hotel in Kumköy and a scenic drive inland toward Manavgat, where the coast gives way to fragrant pine forest and the rising slopes of the Taurus Mountains. At the Oymapınar Dam you step aboard and glide out onto a reservoir so smooth and green it looks unreal. Towering cliffs drop straight into water clear enough to see far below the surface, while the captain threads the boat through narrow rock passages and past working trout farms tucked into the gorge. We pause at quiet coves where you can dive from the deck into the cool, mineral-rich water or just float in the stillness. Around midday a hearty grilled lunch is served in the open air, followed by plenty of free time to swim, stretch out in the sun, or sip tea while the canyon does the rest. As the afternoon softens we head back to the jetty and drive you home to Kumköy, sun-kissed and camera full. If you are after the calmest, most beautiful escape on the Antalya coast, this is it.
