1.Jeep Safari & Green Lake Boat Trip with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,919 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $19Our pick

Review of Side’s $19 Jeep Safari and Green Lake boat trip, with off-road thrills, lunch, swimming, waterfalls, practical tips, and value advice.

“We had the best time, we got transported from our hotel in Side at 8:30am and returned at 3pm. Our driver Joseph was the best, really kept the group entertained. The lunch was stunning we had bread, chicken breast, salad, pasta and cous cous served buffet style. You get taken around to see all the sights and get a lot of photo opportunities. We went in November towards the end of the season so I would recommend taking a jacket as it can be chilly in the morning also some sunglasses and scalf/bandana to cover your face from the dust if you forget they do offer bandana’s for €5 before…”

Carries on to the waterfall, showed us all where we needed to go and gave us free time. Same in the old city of Antalya. Honestly value for money was amazing, driver and guide was amazing.”
