Side & Manavgat Travel Guide

Manavgat:Spectacular views of both sea and mountain

About 45 miles from the airport at Antalya, Manavgat's reputation as a base for a ¿'to nature' holiday has meant that this is a route which is now well followed by holidaymakers


A centrepiece of the town is the dramatic waterfall, which can lull you into a sense of tranquility and calm, and this is the tone which a Manavgat package holiday or last minute holiday seeks to emphasise.


The mountains which form the backdrop to the resort are lush and green, meaning that a holiday in Manavgat is one of contrasts. There's the bustle of a town which caters for visitors of all ages, and mixes relaxing bars and restaurants with a selection of more lively nightspots, and the peace and natural beauty of the river and the nearby Taurus mountains.


Manavgat also makes a good base for exploring the ancient ruins which can be found in Side, less than five miles away, including the remains of an ancient Roman theatre and basilica.


While the pace in Manavgat is restrained, it is certainly not sleepy. Rather, it is a vibrant location, where authentic Turkish restaurants are abundant, and there's also a good selection of late-night bars and clubs for when that refreshing air makes you want to extend your day long into the night. It¿s at this time that the most cosmopolitan side to Manavgat reveals itself.


Holiday breaks in Manavgat have such wide appeal that there's always high demand.
