What to see

The Culture Portal gives the gorge between Bolasan and Beşkonak a length of 14 km with walls over 100 metres high. Spring-fed, the river keeps a strong flow in summer and winter, which makes it one of Türkiye's main rafting rivers; the old Roman bridge still carries the road across.

Most people come for half a day of rafting with an agency from Antalya or Side; others drive up to Selge and walk parts of the St Paul Trail.

Two primary sources disagree on entry: the Culture Portal says entry to the national park is free, while DKMP's 2026 tariff lists the park in category I (95 TL). Check at the gate.

Getting there

About 60 km north-west of Manavgat via Beşkonak; by car or on a rafting tour with transfer.

Hotels and guesthouses in Manavgat ↗

How we rank: Nearby Ministry-licensed places first (matched to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism list), then other places by distance band (within 5 km, 15 km, 40 km; straight line) and public map ratings and review counts. A licensed place never jumps ahead of a closer band. Places more than 25 km away in another town are shown only when there are few options nearby. No business pays to be listed. A high score from a handful of reviews counts for less than a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ratings and counts come from ilçemde's data (source shown on each card, checked 1 Oct 2026); read the reviews themselves on the map services.

Accommodation lists open on ilçemde, our sister directory of Turkish businesses (new tab). We do not take bookings or commissions.
