The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a small dry bag

Protect your phone, wallet and sunscreen during rafting and jeep transfers with a compact waterproof pouch.

Wear closed-toe water shoes

Trail sandals or trainers with good drainage keep you secure on rafts, rocks and jeep steps.

Fuel up before departure

Breakfast and water are important — you’ll be active all day and lunch may be later than usual.

Communicate medical needs

Alert guides to any injuries, heart issues or pregnancy — some segments aren’t recommended for those conditions.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a roadside village for ayran and local flatbread during jeep legs
  • Short walk upstream from some rafting exit points reveals quiet pools and small waterfalls in the limestone gorge

Wildlife

  • Loggerhead sea turtles (off the coast)
  • Mediterranean tortoise and common waterfowl along river margins

Conservation Note

Stay on designated trails and avoid littering — riverbank vegetation and nesting areas for birds and coastal turtles are sensitive to disturbance.

The coastline around Side has layered history from ancient Greek and Roman settlements to Ottoman-era villages; rivers historically powered small mills and supported agricultural terraces.
