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 mussten mit dem 1 Bus ohne Reiseleiter bis nach Manavgat fahren und dort in einen anderen umsteigen. Die Sitzplätze im Bus waren dermaßen eng, so dass ich während der ganzen Fahrt schräg saß, die beiden Beine abgewinkelt in den Gang zeigten. Es war eine Tortur, ich hatte Schmerzen in den Hüften und am Rücken. ( meine Körpergröße 1.90 ). Es war kein Platz für meinen Rucksack, da das gepäckfach sehr klein und schmal war. Der Besuch der Grotte ist ausgefallen, gesperrt, durch Strassensperre usw

    Gute informative Fahrt mit guter türkischer Landesküche. Nichts abgehoben, sondern Küche der normalen Bevölkerung.

    Insgesamt war die Tour gut, jedoch mit deutlichen Schwächen. Der Bus war zu eng und die Teilnehmerzahl zu hoch, was den Komfort stark beeinträchtigte. Besonders ärgerlich: Eine Höhlenbesichtigung wurde angeboten, fand aber nicht statt, da die Höhle seit Jahren geschlossen ist. Diese Fehlinformation sollte dringend korrigiert werden.

    Der Reiseführer Vigo hat uns bestens informiert und uns unterhalten. Wir bekamen viel Einblick in die türkische Mentalität (und auch in die deutsche, die er hervorragend wiedergegeben hat) Die Reise kann ich unbedingt empfehlen! Es war jedoch keine „Small-Group-Tour“ sondern ein voller Reisebus, sodass die hinteren Plätzen mangels schlechtem Mikrofon akustisch benachteiligt waren.
