Discover Local Public Markets & Relax by the Dim River – A 4.5 - Hours Journey Full of Flavors and Impressions

Step into the colorful world of Turkish public markets and experience the authentic side of life in Alanya! Join our 4.5-hour trip that combines shopping with relaxation – first, you will visit a popular local public market (location depends on the day of the week – see IMPORTANT below), and then unwind by the picturesque Dim River, where you’ll have the chance to swim and enjoy lunch (optional and not included in the price).

Part I – Market Discoveries (approx. 2.5 hours)

Explore vibrant stalls overflowing with fresh fruits, aromatic spices, traditional teas, handmade crafts, textiles, and local delicacies. It is the perfect opportunity to shop, get a taste of Turkish culture, and try authentic treats – including freshly made gözleme and fruit juices pressed right in front of you. At many stands, you are welcome to taste the products before buying – a true example of Turkish hospitality and open market tradition.

Part II – Refreshing Break by the Dim River (approx. 2 hours)

After your shopping adventure, we will take you to the refreshing Dim River, surrounded by scenic nature. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing swim or simply rest your feet in the cool water. There is also the option to have lunch at a charming riverside restaurant (meal not included). It is the perfect way to end the day – peacefully, under the shade of trees, with the soothing sound of the river in the background.
