Green Canyon Excursion: Discover the unique nature!

Get ready for an exciting journey to one of the most amazing places in Turkey, the Green Canyon, which will give you an unforgettable experience. This is not just a mountain gorge, but an artificially created reservoir located in the picturesque valley of the Taurus Mountains, between Alanya and Antalya.

Green Canyon is the largest artificial reservoir in Turkey. Its history dates back to antiquity: once there was a bend of the Manavgat River and several mountain lakes used by the Romans for water replenishment. At the end of the 80s, a dam complex was built and a reservoir was created in this valley, which has now become one of the main natural attractions of the region.

A distinctive feature of this place is the emerald hue of the water, which was the result of high iron content. The slopes of the canyon are covered with dense vegetation, creating a unique landscape where you can find lush orange and olive groves, as well as exotic plants such as pomegranate trees and giant cacti. These natural beauties are the perfect place for walks and photo shoots!

The water temperature in the lake never exceeds +12 °C, making it ideal for a refreshing swim on hot days. In summer, it is always cooler and you can enjoy outdoor activities as well as beautiful views. Depending on the season, you can watch mandarins, almonds and other fruit trees blossom. Eagles' nests can be found on the high cliffs, which will add more uniqueness to your trip.

Green Lake and its surroundings are not just a place to relax, but a true gem of nature, where you can not only enjoy the beauty, but also spend time with family or friends, enjoying moments of peace and tranquility.

Don't miss the chance to see the amazing Green Canyon with Turway Travel - your guide to the world of Turkish nature!
