Manavgat is situated at a distance of 76 km from Antalya, on the banks of the river Manavgat. Sorgun Ormanı Forest and Titreyen Göl Lake, which was formed as a result of the Manavgat River delta being filled with alluvia, are strikingly beautiful. In the North, the rock-filled Oymapınar Dam Lake, constructed in the deep valley of the river Manavgat on The Taurus Mountains, is yet another place well worth a visit, also for its jeep-safari tours. The fertile Manavgat plain, which mainly produces cotton, is suitable for the production of 45 different kinds of fruits and vegetables, including cereals and tropical fruits. In addition to greenhouse cultivation, which has an important place in the economy, is the development of fruit and vegetable production and, during recent years, commercial flower cultivation. Banana plantations are located at the easternmost point of the plain.
