About Green Canyon
Green Canyon is the reservoir of the Oymapınar Dam on the Manavgat River, set among the Taurus Mountains in the Manavgat district. The lake is known for its green water reaching deep between steep, pine-covered slopes. Visitors usually explore it by boat, departing from jetties on the lake shore and heading into the narrow canyon sections. The Oymapınar Dam, 185 metres high, was completed in 1984 and built mainly for hydroelectric power. It makes a calm nature outing and a clear change from the coast, about 28 km by road from Side (roughly 42 minutes).
Highlights
- Boat trip into the canyon's narrow sections

Visiting tips
On the boat you may be in the sun for long stretches, so bring a hat, sunscreen and water. Non-slip shoes that can get wet are the practical choice. The trip combines well with Manavgat Waterfall or ancient Side on the way back.
