We had an awesome day on the Kemer Manavgat Boat Trip! The cruise down the river was super relaxing, and my kids loved spotting all different types of birds. The waterfall was gorgeous (bring a camera!) and shopping at the market was a neat little bonus. We scored some great local treats! Definitely recommend this if you’re traveling with family, totally worth the early wake-up call. :)
