Side Antique City 

We come to Köprülü Canyon with a pleasant drive by the mountain road and enjoy the magnificent view on the historical Oluk Bridge. Oluk Köprü is a Roman bridge over the Köprüçay river, formerly known as Eurymedon, in Turkey, near the ancient city of Selge, the capital of the Roman Empire's Pisidia province.

After taking our photos, we proceed on the curved roads to the point where we will do rafting. We put on our gear at our rafting center and arrive at the starting point with the transfer vehicle. After overcoming the currents and waves in the cool sparkling waters of Köprüçay for about 2 hours, we go ashore for lunch.

Rafting - Köprüçay

We board the rafting boat as the Touraturk team and the rafting organization allocates us a skipper. These skippers know very well how to maximize the excitement.

Aspendos Antique Theatre

In the afternoon, we ride again, take a half-hour ride and get to a historical scene that will fascinate us. , Aspendos Antique Theatre.

Aspendos is famous for having the best preserved Roman theater not only in Anatolia but also in the entire Mediterranean world. It was built by the architect Zenon, son of Theodoros, during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180). Today, the theater hosts many art organizations, including Opera and Theater festivals.

At the end of our Aspendos tour, we return to the hotel for dinner and night entertainment.

DAY  3 – TUESDAY  Ucoluk, Kemer Yoruk Park, Tahtali Ropeway, Olympos

After having breakfast at the hotel, we climb the mountain road with our motorbikes. While climbing, we take a tea and coffee break at a point where we will view Antalya from above. We are guests of the magnificent nature of Üçoluk plateau.

As we descend from the plateau, on our left, we watch the creek crossing stage of the "Sea to Sky" race track, which scores points for the World Enduro Championship.

 

Yörük Park - Kemer

We arrive in Kemer, taking the twisty turns with pleasure. We are now at sea level again. We visit the Yoruk Park, which has been carefully designed in the most beautiful spot of Kemer, to have our lunch.

Yoruk Park was established in 1986 and has the status of a national park. It is a unique establishment with its rural landscape in accordance with the concept of exhibiting the nomadic culture as a living open-air folklore museum and the tone of music that complements this texture, with chickens, roosters, rabbits, cats, dogs and birds.

We depart from Yoruk Park after the lunch and ride to the cable car to reach the peak of famous Tahtalı Mountain. While enjoying the curves both on the main road and on the climb to the cable car, we also take pleasure of the magnificent view .TAHTALI MOUNTAIN – CABLE CAR
Scaling the 12,500-foot-high (2,365-meter-high) peak of Tahtali Mountain—ancient Mount Olympus—the Olympos Cable Car (Olympos Teleferik) is the most popular attraction in Beydaglari Coastal National Park. At the summit, a panoramic observation deck offers spectacular views over the forested Taurus Mountains.

Cable Car service starts with getting on a panoramic cabin equipped with large windows that can accommodate up to 80 people. 1900 meters high from the sea level, tree cover starts to give way to pure limestone surface. At this time, the structure of the mass of the mountain, which is well visible, allows us to read geological history. The vascular structure of the mountain rocks is steep in many places, giving us important clues about the formation of this magnificent view.

After our cable car adventure we head to our motorcycles for the day’s layover location, Olympos. Olympos is the second major port city after Phaselis. The city takes its name from the 2375 meters high Tahtali Mountain that branches from Taurus Mountains, 16 kilometers to the north.

Tahtalı Mountain is within the borders of Beydağları-Olympos National Park. Although the exact date of its foundation is unknown, Olympos, which is mentioned in the Lycian Union coins minted in 167-168 BC, is one of the six cities with three voting rights in the Lycian Union.

It is famous not only for being an ancient city, but also for its crystal clear sea and magnificent beach. The river that flows like ice in summer and winter right next to the beach offers a natural shower opportunity on the way back to the hotel after we enjoy the sea. 

Nature is under protection in Olympos and closed to concrete construction. For this reason, there are boutique facilities consisting of tree houses in this region. In this respect, it is an indispensable region for holidaymakers with a high level of love for nature.

We, as the Touraturk team, will stay in "Turkmen Tree Houses", an old establishment in Olympos. The facility is far from luxury, mounted in nature with a boutique approach, and has succeeded in turning its guests into regulars with its cleanliness and quality.

After checking in to our hotel in the evening, we take a 10-minute walk towards the beach, passing through the ancient city of Olympos, and arrive the seaside. We release ourselves to the clean waters of the Mediterranean and relieve the tiredness of the day.After dinner, we say "I'm glad I'm here" while sipping our drinks with music near the camp-fire.

The end of the day …. 

DAY  4 – WEDNESDAY - Finike, Demre, St. Nicholas, Myra, Kekova, Ucagiz, Simena, Kas

Waking up in Olympos is a wonderful feeling and happiness is reflected on our faces..

As well as being one of the most important diving center of the country, the place also holds historical artifacts that are the legacy of Lycian civilization.

We ride on the mountain road and take in the wonderful scent of the pine forests while enjoying the curves.

We take a tea and coffee break before the Finike bends. There we will ride our motorcycle on the reefs where the blue of the sea meets the coral reefs.

We are visiting the ancient city of Demre. We see the ancient city of Myra, the royal tombs and witness history. Rock tombs, Lycian inscriptions and coins show that, Myra existed in at least 5th century BC. 

After seeing the king tombs and ancient ruins, we visit the St. Nicholas church near Myra, within the borders of Demre.

St. Nicholas, who was born in Patara and passed away in Myra, where he served as a bishop, awaits his visitors in the burial church built in the name of "Santa Claus".

It is believed that Santa Claus fell into his eternal sleep in this place.

We are leaving Demre. We continue to ride motorcycles in the Lycian region and we arrive at Üçağız - Kekova with a beauty that you cannot believe your eyes.

Ucagiz is a town that will make you fall in love with it with its magnificent view and authentic atmosphere.

Ucagiz is a tiny and very beautiful coastal village located near the Demre district of Antalya.From here we will take a boat tour to see the island of Kekova with its crystal clear coves and the sunken city. We will have our lunch on the boat and swim in the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean.

After approaching the shore, we set out for Kaş, the center of the Lycian civilization, to stay for the night.

Starting from the Lycian civilization in 2000 BC, Persian, Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations lived in the Kas region, respectively.

As in every ancient region, there is an ancient theater in Kaş. The Ancient Theater, where the old Greek and Latin theaters, which are quite solid, were played, was built in the Hellenistic period.

Those who have a diving badge do deep diving with the team. Those who do not have a diving badge will do a discovery dive with our experienced instructors after the theory training on the boat.

We take our lunch on the boat, between two dives.After we land in the evening, we put on our motorcycle clothes at the hotel and set out for Kaputaş Beach, which is famous for its enchanting view, turquoise sea and sparkling beach.

It fascinates visitors with its white sandy beach and dark blue in the open, blue as it gets closer, and turquoise sea on the coast. The beach is descended from the highway with 180-odd stairs. The magnificent view of the beach, which you will watch while descending the stairs, causes you to stop and enjoy the view from time to time.
