About this tour

This extraordinary full-day tour combines wild natural scenery with some of the most fascinating ancient history in southern Turkey, experienced in style aboard an open-top Cabrio Bus that lets you take in every sweeping view as you roll through the rugged landscape north of Manavgat. Your first stop is Tazı Canyon — a breathtaking gorge carved by the turquoise waters of the Köprüçay River, flanked by towering limestone cliffs and dense pine forests. The canyon is one of the most dramatic natural landscapes in the Antalya region, and the open-top bus makes every twist and turn of the mountain road a spectacle in itself. From the canyon, the tour climbs into the Taurus Mountains to reach the Ancient City of Selge, a remarkably well-preserved Pisidian settlement perched high above the canyon at over 900 metres altitude. Founded in antiquity and once home to thousands of inhabitants, Selge retains an impressive theatre, an agora, temple foundations, and city walls that blend seamlessly into the rocky hillside. The panoramic mountain views from the ruins are alone worth the journey. The final stop is Adam Kayalar — literally "Man Rocks" — a series of ancient relief figures carved directly into vertical cliff faces, believed to date back to the Hellenistic period. These mysterious human-shaped carvings overlook the surrounding landscape and remain one of the region's most enigmatic archaeological sites. Throughout the day your knowledgeable guide provides context and stories that bring each location to life, and the unique Cabrio Bus experience ensures the journey between sites is just as memorable as the destinations themselves.
