Side Green Canyon Boat Trip

Are you considering swapping a sun-soaked beach retreat for a serene stroll along a river through a stunning canyon with cool emerald waters? Are you searching for an awe-inspiring backdrop for your most remarkable photographs? Tailored just for you, we offer an enthralling excursion through the Green Canyon from Side, allowing you to experience Turkey in its full spectrum, while immersing yourself in the local culture and embracing the natural wonders.

Your expedition will traverse one of the Taurus Mountains’ most exquisite valleys, where the landscape is awash with shimmering emerald waters. The hue, profoundly rich and captivatingly beautiful, will leave you speechless. Enveloping the Tavra Valley are mountain slopes adorned with lush, varied vegetation, punctuated by the delightful presence of citrus and pomegranate trees, their fragrant essence permeating the air. High above, mountain eagles gracefully glide across the sky, a spectacle often observed as they hunt amidst the crystal-clear waters of Tavra.

During your journey, delve into the history of the canyon’s formation—a tale known to few. Once a humble reservoir, this remarkable site owes its existence to the construction of a hydroelectric power station, now designated as a natural park. In 1984, Switzerland’s finest minds were summoned for the task, resulting in the creation of a massive dam, home to four formidable turbines.

Each year, hordes of visitors flock to the Tavra Valley, drawn by the enchanting allure of its natural splendor and the serene expanse of emerald waters. Despite its tranquil appearance, the reservoir’s temperature remains a brisk 12 degrees Celsius, fed by the icy springs hidden beneath its surface.

Embarking on an excursion to the Green Canyon from Side promises an unparalleled immersion into a fairy-tale realm, where pristine waters and verdant mountain vistas await. Don’t let this opportunity slip away—trade the seaside panorama for a refreshing plunge into newfound emotions and tranquility!
