Experience Highlights
About This Tour
Located in Belek, just 45 kilometers west of Side, The Land of Legends comes alive after sunset with spectacular lights, music and entertainment. Its Venetian-style canal, 111-meter Fairy Tale Castle and impressive evening shows make it one of the most popular night-time attractions in the Antalya region.
Our Side Land of Legends Night Show excursion gives you an easy and affordable way to enjoy the experience without driving, dealing with evening traffic or paying for a private taxi. Relax in an air-conditioned coach with convenient hotel pickup and return from Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Titreyengöl and Manavgat.
Your evening begins with pickup from your hotel or designated meeting point between 18:30 and 19:00. The journey to Belek takes approximately 35–40 minutes along the D400 highway. Once you arrive at The Land of Legends Shopping Avenue, you will have free time to explore the beautifully illuminated promenade, browse the shops or enjoy a drink and dinner at one of the many cafés and restaurants.
The main evening spectacle starts at 21:00 along the central canal. The Canal Boat Parade brings the complex to life with illuminated boats, fairytale characters, musicians, dancers and acrobatic performances. The show builds towards the Chateau plaza, where synchronized fountains, music, lasers and 3D projection effects transform the castle into a spectacular night-time backdrop.
After the show, you will have some time for a final walk through the illuminated avenue before meeting your transfer coordinator. Then simply relax on the return journey, with drop-off at your Side hotel expected around 23:30.
A memorable Land of Legends evening, with the journey handled from start to finish.

Such a fun evening! The Land of Legends looked incredible after dark, especially the canal and castle. Pickup from our hotel in Side was right on time and everything was very easy from start to finish.
Ein wirklich schöner Abend in Land of Legends. Die Lichter, die Boote und die Wassershow waren beeindruckend. Unser Fahrer war pünktlich und die Rückfahrt nach Side verlief ebenfalls problemlos.
Brilliant value for money. We had plenty of time to walk around the shopping avenue before the show started. The illuminated boats were definitely the highlight of the evening!
Sehr gute Organisation und ein bequemer Bus. Wir wurden direkt in Kumköy abgeholt und hatten genug Zeit für Essen, Shopping und die Show. Besonders die Lichtprojektionen am Schloss waren toll.
We loved the whole evening. The castle looked amazing with all the lights and the canal parade was beautiful. Great option if you are staying in Side and don't want to arrange your own transport.
Really easy trip from Side. The coach was comfortable, pickup was on time and we had lots of free time before the 9pm show. The fountains and lights were much better than we expected!
Ein toller Ausflug für einen Abend. Die Fahrt war entspannt und die Organisation hat sehr gut funktioniert. Die Bootsshow auf dem Kanal war unser persönliches Highlight.
We booked this mainly for the night show and it did not disappoint. The boats, music, fountains and castle projections all looked fantastic. Much easier than trying to find a taxi back to Side late at night.
Perfect evening trip from Manavgat. The shopping area was huge and beautifully lit, and the show was spectacular. Everything was straightforward and we got back to our hotel around the time promised.
Sehr schöner Abend mit der Familie. Unsere Kinder waren begeistert von den beleuchteten Booten und den Figuren. Die freie Zeit vor der Show war ebenfalls perfekt, um etwas zu essen.
Great experience from beginning to end. The transfer was comfortable, there was no rushing and the evening at Land of Legends was amazing. The castle light show was definitely worth seeing.
Fantastic night out! We enjoyed walking around the avenue before the show and then watching the canal parade. Very convenient transfer from Side and a great way to spend an evening.
