Side: Köprülü Canyon Visit with Riverside Lunch

Escape the Side coastline for a day in the cool Taurus Mountains! Walk the ancient Roman Oluk Bridge, admire the turquoise Köprüçay River, and enjoy a peaceful lunch in the heart of nature.
Begin your day with a short and scenic drive from your hotel towards the majestic Taurus Mountains. As the air grows cooler and the pine forests thicken, discover why this area is considered one of Turkey’s most beautiful natural escapes.

Visit the historic Oluk Bridge, an architectural marvel built by the Romans that still stands strong today. Perched high above the rushing river, the bridge offers a spectacular view of the canyon's steep walls and the crystal-clear water below.

Follow your guide to the best photo spots and learn about the fascinating history of this ancient gateway. Enjoy ample time to explore the surroundings, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and feel the spray of the river as it winds through the limestone formations.

After exploring the heights of the canyon, move to a serene riverside location where time seems to slow down. Wander along the riverbanks, enjoy the shade of the ancient trees, or simply sit by the water’s edge and listen to the soothing sounds of nature.

The Köprüçay River is famous for its vibrant turquoise hue, and seeing it up close is a highlight for every nature lover. This peaceful atmosphere provides a wonderful contrast to the busy resort areas, offering a true "hidden gem" experience just a short drive from Side.

To complete your mountain getaway, enjoy a delicious traditional lunch at a local restaurant right on the river. Savor fresh flavors while looking out over the water, sharing a meal in a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday.
