Eftalia hotels attract families almost exclusively — and Land of Lions is the tour we always point them to first. It packs an entire day into one experience: safari park, boat on the Green Canyon, photo stops with animals. Parents enjoy it, kids go crazy for it. Everything is in one tour so nobody has to choose between activities. This is the number one recommendation I give to Eftalia guests every single season.

This is Alanya's signature sea experience — the one that has been filling boats for 20 years and still does. You dance in the foam party, then the boat stops right in front of Alanya Castle and you jump into the sea to cool down. That moment — music, foam, castle in the background, Mediterranean underneath you — is something you simply cannot get anywhere else. After Land of Lions, this is probably the most popular tour among Eftalia guests.

Before Land of Lions arrived, Jeep Safari was the undisputed bestseller at Eftalia hotels. Pure nostalgia. I still see guests who came back after 10 years specifically asking for this tour again. Mountains, rivers, real Taurus landscape — there is a rawness to it that newer tours do not have. If you are the kind of person who prefers nature over theme parks, this one is for you. It still sells out fast, especially early season.

This is one of the best theme parks in the world — not just Turkey. The water park, the restaurants, the night show, the sheer scale of it. I recommend it for families who want one full day completely off the hotel grounds, somewhere that genuinely surprises them. Children will not forget it. Parents will not either. Transport from Eftalia Sol is included. Book in advance — this one fills up fast in peak season.

The quad track is literally 10 minutes from Eftalia Sol — one of the closest tours you can do from this hotel. Pickup is included so you do not need to figure out transport. Children aged 8 and above can ride as passengers, which makes this a surprisingly good family option too. The route is dusty, the turns are fun and it is over before anyone gets tired. A short, high-energy break from the poolside — exactly what some guests need by day three.
