A general tip from September 2026: from the hotel's main entrance walk straight to the highway, where there is a stop served by all buses; you can tell the driver 'Manavgat center'.

Another way to Novo Mall, described in early September 2026: take the dolmus (shared minibus) to Manavgat and tell the driver you need Nova Mall — they will stop on the main street. From there it is about a kilometer on foot, crossing a busy highway, or a change to another bus to Novo Mall, for example No. 10.

For Side, according to a tip from 17 July 2026, a bus marked 'Side' leaves from the same stop — No. 11 as the participant remembered, not No. 2 or No. 10; the ride takes about 30 minutes. To get back, go to the same stop where you arrived and tell the locals who seat passengers 'Linda Resort' — they will put you on the right bus.
