Things to Do  

TO MUCH LOCAL BREW

TO MUCH LOCAL BREW, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  As we was overtaking a big boat down the river to the sea this bloke was making a pratt of himself on the bow end, way to much to drink me thinks, its a pitty he never fell in the river that might have quiet him down a bit LOL 

MANAVGAT WATER FALLS

MANAVGAT WATER FALLS, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  I guess you could put this place under tourist trap if you wanted to, don't get me wrong its a beautiful place to be on a hot Turkish day but the waterfalls are not very large really and apart from market stalls and a few restaurants there is little else here to see. These... 

Manavgat Falls

Manavgat Falls, Manavgat

 Alikatt Says:  I read about this on the guide but it wasn't truly as spectacular as I thought it would be. We passed by and saw it for about 10 minutes (had ice cream sticks too) on the way to Aspendos from Termessos. 

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  The river Dim is quite wide so overtaking is not a prob when you get 2 big boats side by side 

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  Most tourist trips down the river include lunch on the boat and this one was quite good, we had rice, salad, kebap, and bread, in most cases you can have second helpings as well 

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  This is where most boats leave and head to the sea taking tourists on a great day out, not though i may add on that little pink rowing boat lol 

DAY ON THE RIVER DIM

DAY ON THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  All along the banks of the river dim are nets like these, they are for trout which are bred for all the fish restaurants in the area, so if you decide to eat at a restaurant near here then you are sure to get the freshest fish avalable 

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  This is the sort of boat used for the river trip, mostely they are traditional boats made in Turkey and they really do look superbly built in varnished timber 

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM

A DAY ON THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  Here is a few photos that we took on a day trip down the river Dim to the sea, the journey on the boat from Manavgat takes about 1 hour and takes in some beautiful countryside along the way 

MANAVGAT AND THE RIVER DIM

MANAVGAT AND THE RIVER DIM, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  Construction of a new contriversial dam which is nearing completion at the end of 2005 will flood a huge part of a valley 5 kilometres up river and many houses will be gone forever

Tea

Tea, Manavgat

 ania70pl Says:  Well, actualy it's not about real restaurant. Tea is very popular in Turkey, you can get it everywhere, they will give it in small glass. But the special feeling you can get not in the big restaurant but in the small tea bars. They sell only tea there and you can meet many... 

Shopping  

IN GENERAL: HATS OFF TO YOU

IN GENERAL: HATS OFF TO YOU, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  Even here you can buy gifts and clothes so its hands in pockets again hehehehehehe, actually this shop came in real handy for me because i left my hat behind at the hotel and it was 40 degrees in the sun so i had to buy one, there really cheap as well 

Tea

Tea, Manavgat

 ania70pl Says:  Tea... in Turkey you can get it everywhere, in every shop, on the bazaar... They have teas of all sort, but mostly fruit teas (apple tea is the most popular). You can taste it, even when you pass by any shop the seller can offer you a glass of tea. Don't worry, you don't...

LOCAL FOOD

 whitecliff62 Says:  I don't know what this local lady was making but it smelled lovely, they looked like a pancake but cooked on a giant hot plate 

Warnings Or Dangers  

DRINKS NOT INCLUDED

DRINKS NOT INCLUDED, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  If you take the river boat trip that includes lunch, i can guarrentee it won't include drinks, ask for the prices before you order a drink, it can work out expensive, better still smuggle your own drinks on board 

Tourist Traps  

THE MANAVGAT WATERFALLS

THE MANAVGAT WATERFALLS, Manavgat

 whitecliff62 Says:  I would rate this as a mini tourist trap, its not really a big waterfall and theres not much else there to see, but if you combine this with a river boat cruise traveling down to the sea it makes the day compleat 

That was just the one and only...
