This was an amazing outing and a truly memorable adventure. The transportation arrangements went perfectly. The cruise itself was delightful, and the two swimming breaks were fantastic. The natural setting is beyond words it’s a place I’d highly suggest visiting. However, we did have one downside: we had asked for a German-speaking guide, but only Russian and limited English explanations were given, which was disappointing. Still, that didn’t take away from how great the day was overall.

Our pickup in Side was right on schedule. During the bus ride, we saw remnants of an old aqueduct. The cruise on the lake was amazing, especially as we entered the Green Canyon itself, with steep cliffs and clear waters. The view where the river feeds into the reservoir was especially stunning. On the return trip, we stopped at a floating platform for a swim. After the boat, we traveled another 15 minutes by bus to a riverside restaurant for lunch. You could also swim or fish there. Then it was back to the hotel. It was an excellent all-inclusive day out well worth it.
