Five villages, one scheduled belt
The Alanya departure collects along the coastal strip between Kestel and Okurcalar. On the west coast that means Okurcalar, İncekum, Avsallar, Türkler and Konaklı, every one of them scheduled rather than on request. A hotel in any of the five is therefore inside the belt without anything being arranged; you give the hotel name when you book and wait at the main entrance gate at the time confirmed afterwards.
The booking directory holds 112 hotels across these five villages: 30 in Okurcalar, 10 in İncekum, 24 in Avsallar, 20 in Türkler and 28 in Konaklı. Hotels inside the belt, for example: Delphin Deluxe Resort and Kirman Leodikya Resort in Okurcalar, Alara Star Hotel and Wome Deluxe in İncekum, Alaiye Resort & Spa and Sentido Numa Bay in Avsallar, Eftalia Aqua Resort and Long Beach Resort in Türkler, Aria Resort & Spa and Titan Select Hotel in Konaklı. They mark the belt; none is a pickup promise by itself, and none carries a time.
Mahmutlar and Kargıcak are not set on the option at all: they are on request and are not promised on any page. The pickup areas coast-wide, scheduled and on request, are set out on one page.
Alanya or Side? Where the west coast belongs
Guests in Okurcalar and İncekum sometimes look at the Side departure, because the road towards Side is the one their airport transfer used. For the jeep safari, all five villages belong to Alanya: the Alanya convoy is assembled along this strip, and the approximately 8 hours are counted from your own hotel gate back to it, wherever on the belt you start.
West of Okurcalar the Alanya belt ends. The coast towards Side belongs to the Side departure, whose scheduled list begins at Manavgat and whose villages nearer to Alanya are on request; the page for the Side departure sets that belt out.
If your resort name leaves you unsure, the decision page tells you which departure to book from your resort.
The Dim River day
This is the one departure on the coast whose river has a name in our record. The open 4x4 convoy climbs through the Taurus foothills above Alanya, past orange groves and banana plantations, and then crosses the Dim River, the Dimçayı, more than once, with photo stops at a waterfall and at the turquoise Dim Dam. A professional driver is at the wheel of every jeep; guests ride as passengers, and in summer the water fights between the jeeps are part of the day.
The village stop brings farmers' produce, spring water and a coastline photo, and a visit to a village house and its mosque. Then comes the swim stop and lunch on a platform restaurant built over the Dim River; lunch is included, drinks are paid separately. A visit to Dim Cave is optional, with a small entrance fee paid locally, and is not part of the price. The Alanya belt page describes the same day for the whole belt from Kestel to Okurcalar.

Who the west-coast departure suits
River crossings, a swim stop and summer water fights make this a family day; the open jeep and the lunch over the water make it a couples' day too. Children aged 4-12 pay the child rate and must be accompanied by an adult, infants aged 0-3 ride free, and from 13 the adult fare applies. Rough tracks: pregnant guests and anyone with back or neck problems should sit this one out and say so before boarding.
Open jeeps in summer, covered jeeps in winter, and only the summer runs have the water games. Bring swimwear under your clothes, closed shoes that can get wet, a towel, a change of clothes, sunscreen, a hat and a waterproof pouch for the phone.
Reserving from Okurcalar, Avsallar or Konaklı
Three entries reserve the Dim River jeep safari from the west coast: your date, how many adults and children, and which hotel. Nothing is charged online and no card is stored. The amount is paid in euros on the day of the tour, and a booking withdrawn more than a day beforehand costs you nothing.
Turkish, Russian, German and English guiding is available. The one message worth sending before you book is about a hotel outside the scheduled belt, in Mahmutlar or Kargıcak, where the answer depends on the date; a reservation for the coming days or a new date goes to the same number, WhatsApp +90 536 603 75 84.
