Pickup from Side · Kızılot
Quick answer
The Green Canyon catamaran tour collects guests in Kızılot every day of the season on the Manavgat coach run. Adults €33, children aged 3–11 €20; nothing is paid online, you pay on the tour day, and cancellation is free up to 48 hours before.
We have not measured a separate road figure for Kızılot; it rides the Manavgat run, so the figures on the Manavgat page are the honest reference.
Kızılot is the quiet stretch where the Side coast begins to turn into the Alanya coast — a low-rise strip of hotels that the Manavgat canyon departure collects daily, all season. It has no separately measured drive time in our data; the honest reference is Manavgat's row, 20 km and about 35 free-flow minutes from the town.
What Kızılot guests notice most is the match: this is one of the calmest corners of the coast, and the canyon is the one excursion that shares its temperament — no foam parties, no animation team, just still emerald water, pine slopes and an open buffet lunch that is included. The louder boats sail elsewhere.
Kızılot is the far end of the eastern-bank run, so it is collected before Kızılağaç and Gündoğdu on the way back towards the inland turn. The return journey from the canyon begins at around 15:00, and the eastern bank is on the way home.
One coach works a set route through the district, hotel by hotel. The exact time is confirmed the day before, once the day's bookings shape the route — a fixed minute promised weeks ahead would be a guess, and we do not sell guesses.
The longer option from Side: hotel pickup, 4.5 hours cruising the emerald reservoir, swimming breaks, a chance to fish, soft drinks on board and an open buffet lunch. The return journey begins at around 15:00.
The shorter cruise from Side: the same pickup, guide, swimming breaks, fishing, soft drinks on board and open buffet lunch, with 2.5 hours on the water instead of 4.5. Same day, same return at around 15:00.
