Manavgat bazaar is one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets: it has dozens of covered streets and roughly hundreds of shops selling carpets, jewelry, lanterns, textiles, antiques and souvenirs. It’s both a major tourist attraction and a living marketplace.
Manavgat Market is one of the largest and liveliest markets on the Turkish Riviera. It has two complementary parts: a covered bazaar in the town centre that you can visit most days, and a much larger open-air/local market that is set up on specific market days and spreads through the side streets. The bazaar is popular with both locals and tourists and is a good place to see everyday Turkish market life.
Manavgat Waterfall is a broad, low-height waterfall on the Manavgat River near the town of Manavgat and the ancient resort of Side. The falls are famous for their wide, foaming curtain of water around 4 meters high and stretching across a broad channel, best viewed from the wooden platforms above. Many boat tours from Belek to Manavgat include a stop at this scenic waterfall, making it a popular highlight during day trips that also combine shopping at the Manavgat bazaar or a visit to Side’s old town.
The Manavgat River (ancient name Melas) rises on the eastern slopes of the Western Taurus Mountains and flows south to the Mediterranean, passing through the town of Manavgat and the famous Manavgat Waterfall. It’s an important regional river for tourism, hydropower and local irrigation.
