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

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.

    Wir hatten aufgrund von schlechterer Wetterprognose kurzfristig die Ormana Tour gebucht und waren begeistert. Unser Reiseleiter Alifour war sehr gut geschichtlich bewandert und hat es sehr sympathisch gemacht . Es war nicht langweilig! Vielen Dank

    Wir wurden mit kurzer Verspätung direkt von unserem Hotel abgeholt. Nicole unsere Tourgide war top. Sie hat uns soviel über das Land erzählt und alle unsere Fragen gut beantwortet. Beim Mittagessen Stopp gab es einen Dorfladen wo uns verschiedene Produkte wie Thymianöl, Johannibrotsirup und Olivenöl... erklärt und angeboten wurden. Wer wollte konnte etwas kaufen aber es war in keiner Weise aufdringlich. Es war ein langer Tag aber insgesamt ein gelungener Ausflug im Taurusgebirge .

    Osman und (deutschem Namen) unser Guide Stefan waren sehr aufgeschlossen und Kontaktfreudig diese beiden haben die Tour so bereichert. Man hat viel über das Leben und auch aus deren Privatleben erzählt bekommen und die Geschichte hinter den Knopfhäusern und alles was wir Gemacht haben war sehr schön. Leider konnten wir keine Pferde mehr sehen aber es sind ja auch wildpferde Man fährt erst eine Weile im Gebirge entlang. Sieht wie Nomaden leben, die Aussicht...
