Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll learn about the ongoing restoration work of the ancient button houses in the village of Ormana
  • There'll be loads of opportunities to see wild Ormana horses roaming freely in the Eynif Plains
  • A stop at a family home in the remote hamlet of Urunlu for some Turkish tea is on the agenda
  • You'll check out the Altinbesik Caves and, in summer, take a boat ride along an underground river
  • 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 exclusive group tour, you'll visit mysterious caves and the ruins of an ancient caravanserai as well as have the chance to see the famous Ormana wild horses. 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 swimming in an underground lake – 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. Next, we'll hike from a nearby canyon to the Altinbesik Caves. Here – during summer months only – you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a subterranean dinghy ride.

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.

    Insgesamt toll, dass die Gruppen sich ansprechen und so kein Nassenauflauf an Menschen entsteht. Wir hoffen, dass alles im Dorf so ursprünglich bleibt. Das war wirklich toll. Die Höhle war ein tolles Erlebnis. Unser Reiseleiter Figo war außergewöhlich gut!!!! Wir haben viel gelacht.Er hat viel erzählt und konnte alle Fragen beantworten. Sehr lustig, charmant, gebildet und kreativ. Ihn werden wir nicht vergessen. Die Tour können wir jedem empfehlen!!! Insgesamt 5 Sterne von uns.

    Der Preis war schon teuer wenn man bedenkt das man dieses für die Hälfte in anderen Reisebüros bekommt, und ob man bei fast 30 Personen noch von einer Kleingruppe reden kann?
