TL;DR
From Belek, the most popular short trips are Köprülü Canyon, Antalya city, and the ancient sites of Perge and Aspendos. The usual advice is to compare street agencies in Belek or Kadriye with hotel tour desks, since itineraries are often similar but independent agencies are usually cheaper.
For a nearby trip, the usual recommendations are rafting in Köprülü Canyon, a day in Antalya Old Town, or the combined Perge + Aspendos route. These work well from Belek because transfer times are much shorter than full-day long-haul trips like Pamukkale.
A common tip is to check tour agencies in central Belek or Kadriye first, then compare their program with the hotel tour desk. Travelers often end up booking with local agencies rather than the hotel seller if the route is the same and the price is better.
For travelers who know Side better than the Belek area, the usual starting point is the most straightforward nearby trips: ancient ruins, a canyon activity day, or an Antalya city tour. These are the most all-round options for a first look around Belek.
