  • A stop at a family home in the remote hamlet of Urunlu for some Turkish tea is on the agenda

  • This tour is led by an expert local guide who knows the area and its landmarks inside out
What to expect

Uncover the secrets of Ormana village and its surrounds. On this cultural group tour, you'll visit viewpoints and villages as well as have the chance to see the famous Ormana wild horses. There is also a trip to see local caves by boat - summer only - and in winter a local village . This is an experience with a special focus on sustainability and community engagement, but it's also rewarding for you. As Muzzafer, one of our local guides, says, "wild horses running freely and epic natural scenery – these mountains have so much to offer you and your camera."

We begin the day by taking freshly brewed Turkish tea in a traditional Anatolian house in Ürünlü, a charming hamlet of red-roofed wooden and stone homes. In the summer months the next activity involves visiting Altinbesik caves by boat, wheras in winter you'll stop at a village and museum. Then, it's on to Ormana, with its wooden mosque and its unusual ‘button houses'. Contributions from this tour support the villagers' efforts to restore these centuries-old dwellings. Soak up Ormana's laidback vibe before sitting down for a lunch of ‘KM0' products in a family-owned restaurant.

In the afternoon, we'll head to the nearby ruins of an ancient caravanserai – a medieval motel for travelling traders. To round off this immersive countryside tour, we'll venture to the desolate landscapes of the Eynif Plains, where you'll hopefully witness the majestic wild horses roaming in their natural habitat.

    Die Organisation war perfekt. Die kleine Gruppe ermöglichte, an vielen interessanten Stellen zu halten und zu fotografieren. Die Landschaft, die kleinen hübschen Orte und das Land-Restaurant machten den Ausflug für mich zu einem großartigen Erlebnis!

    Eine wunderschöne Reise mit einer traumhaftesten Aussicht. Der Reiseleiter (Fido) verfügte über ein umfassendes Allgemeinwissen und erzählte uns während der gesamten Reise von den Sitten und Gebräuchen der Einheimischen und nicht nur, ich hätte es tagelang anhören können. Die Fahrt mit dem Schlauchboot in der Höhle war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

    Tourguide und Fahrer super ! Mittagessen auch sehr gut. Gruppe viel zu groß und Bus entsprechend zu klein. Beinahe unmöglich zu zweit in einer Reihe zu sitzen. Reinste Tortur, besonders für Ältere.

    Ausflug war sehr interessant und gut organisiert, lediglich die Gruppengröße entsprach nicht der Beschreibung. Es war gar keine kleine Gruppe, sondern ein großer Bus gefüllt, bis auf den letzten Platz.
