Things to do at Green Canyon

5 hours' drive from Antalya airport depending on traffic. Almost everyone visits on a day-long boat excursion, typically departing mid-morning and returning mid-to-late afternoon, usually sold with lunch served on board and a couple of stops for swimming directly off the boat in the turquoise water.

It is a relaxed, low-effort day out, not an adrenaline trip: for whitewater rafting, book Köprülü Canyon instead, a separate destination and a genuinely sportier activity. Bring a swimsuit and a towel, and expect the boat to be crowded in July and August.
