The Quick Answer: 21 Pickup Areas Along the Antalya Coast
If you are wondering whether your resort has hotel pickup for the Green Canyon tour, the answer is almost certainly yes. Free hotel pickup runs from 19 resort areas between Side and Mahmutlar every day throughout the summer season, and from Belek and Antalya on Mondays and Thursdays. The transfer is already included in the price — €33 per adult and €18 per child (ages 3–11) for both the 2.5-hour Catamaran Tour and the 4.5-hour Boat Tour.
Below you will find every pickup area grouped by coastline, with a dedicated page for each one so you can check details for exactly where you are staying.
Side Coast: Daily Pickup from 11 Areas
The Side side of the coast is closest to the canyon itself, since Green Canyon is the emerald reservoir behind Oymapınar Dam in the Manavgat district. Pickup runs every day from all of the following areas:
- Side — the historic old town and the resort strip around it
- Kumköy — the lively beach district just west of Side
- Evrenseki — a quieter family-hotel zone next to Kumköy
- Çolaklı — a long row of beachfront resorts popular with families
- Sorgun — pine-forest hotels east of Side
- Titreyengöl — the lakeside hotel cluster near Sorgun
- Gündoğdu — large all-season resorts on the western edge of the region
- Kızılağaç — a dense resort zone east of Titreyengöl
- Kızılot — beach hotels on the road toward Alanya
- Çenger — a small resort pocket between Kızılot and Okurcalar
- Manavgat — the town itself, home base of the canyon
Staying in this zone means you are booking the tour from its home region. If you want a feel for the day before you decide, our what-to-expect guide walks through the whole experience.
Alanya Coast: Daily Pickup All Summer
Guests staying on the Alanya side of the coast are collected every day throughout the summer season as well. The route covers the full string of resort towns:
- Okurcalar — the first big resort cluster coming from the Side direction
- Avsallar — a busy holiday town with a long sandy beach
- Türkler — large seafront resorts west of Alanya
- Konaklı — a well-established resort strip close to Alanya
- Alanya — the city centre and the hotels around the castle peninsula
- Oba — the residential-resort district just east of the centre
- Payallar — a growing hotel zone between Konaklı and Türkler
- Mahmutlar — the easternmost pickup point, popular with long-stay guests
Many visitors around Alanya compare Green Canyon with Sapadere Canyon, but they are different trips: Sapadere is a narrow canyon inland from Alanya explored on foot along walking platforms, with no boats. Green Canyon is the opposite — a day on the water, cruising a calm, sheltered reservoir framed by pine-covered slopes. If you want a boat day rather than a hike, the cruise is the one to pick.
Belek and Antalya: Pickup on Mondays and Thursdays
Hotels further west are covered on a fixed schedule. Pickup from Belek and Antalya runs on Mondays and Thursdays. If you are staying in either area, plan your canyon day around one of those two weekdays and book a day or two ahead so your hotel is on the list. Everything else — price, boats, cancellation policy — is identical to the Side and Alanya pickups.
How Pickup and the Day on the Water Work
Booking takes a minute and you receive instant confirmation with your pickup details. There is no prepayment — you pay on the day of the tour — and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, with no hidden fees on top of the listed price. If anything about your hotel or meeting point is unclear, the team answers quickly on WhatsApp.
On the day, you are collected from your hotel or the nearest accessible point and driven to the harbour on the Oymapınar reservoir near Manavgat. From there, nothing resembles a sea trip: the water is a still, sheltered lake, so there are no waves and no seasickness — a favourite with families and anyone who avoids open-sea cruises. Swimming stops are in crystal-clear, refreshingly cool mountain water, and swimming is always optional; plenty of guests simply enjoy the scenery from the deck. Read more in our swimming guide.
Two Tours, One Price List — Pick Before Your Pickup
Whichever area you are collected from, you will choose between the same two boats:
- Green Canyon Catamaran Tour — 2.5 hours on the reservoir. Ideal if you want the views and a swim without committing a whole day. No meal is served on this tour.
- Green Canyon Boat Tour — 4.5 hours, with lunch included on board. The relaxed full-experience option.
Both cost €33 per adult and €18 per child (3–11), pickup included. If you are torn between them, our catamaran vs boat tour comparison breaks down exactly who each one suits, and the price guide explains what is covered. You can also browse everything in one place on the tours page.
One honest note on alternatives: the Manavgat river boat trip is a pleasant river-and-bazaar day, and rafting in Köprülü Canyon is a fast-moving, adrenaline-focused activity on flowing water. Green Canyon sits between them — real canyon scenery, but on calm water at a relaxed pace. Different trips for different moods.
FAQ
Does the Green Canyon tour include hotel pickup from Alanya?
Yes — hotel pickup is included from Alanya and the surrounding resort areas of Oba, Mahmutlar, Payallar, Konaklı, Türkler, Avsallar and Okurcalar every day throughout the summer season, and the transfer is already covered in the standard price of €33 per adult and €18 per child. See your area's page, such as tours from Alanya, for details.
Is there Green Canyon pickup from Belek or Antalya?
Yes, hotels in Belek and Antalya are collected on Mondays and Thursdays, while the nineteen resort areas between Side and Mahmutlar — including Kumköy, Çolaklı, Okurcalar and Avsallar — have pickup every day, so guests staying further west simply plan their canyon day around those two weekdays. Check tours from Belek or tours from Antalya before booking.
How much does the Green Canyon tour cost with pickup included?
Both Green Canyon tours cost €33 per adult and €18 per child aged 3 to 11 with hotel pickup already included, whether you choose the 2.5-hour catamaran tour or the 4.5-hour boat tour, and you pay on the day of the tour with no prepayment. There are no hidden fees added later.
Is lunch included on the Green Canyon tour with pickup?
Lunch is included only on the 4.5-hour Green Canyon Boat Tour; the 2.5-hour Catamaran Tour does not include a meal, so if you want to eat on board during your day out on the reservoir, book the longer boat option when you reserve your pickup. Both tours cost the same €33 per adult.
What if my hotel is not in one of the listed pickup areas?
If your hotel sits just outside the listed areas, send a quick WhatsApp message with your hotel name before booking and the team will confirm whether pickup is possible or suggest the nearest collection point, and you receive a fast answer with instant confirmation once arranged. The list above covers the vast majority of hotels between Antalya and Mahmutlar.
Can I cancel my Green Canyon booking if my plans change?
Yes, you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the tour, and because payment is made on the tour day rather than online in advance, changing your plans costs you nothing as long as you give notice within that window. That flexibility makes it easy to book early in your holiday and adjust later.
