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.

Alara River 4x4 tour with dinner and a show

This evening tour blends countryside exploring with a dose of Ottoman history. Between the open road and the show, it's like taking a step back in time and will feel a world away from your resort. You'll rumble off-road through rural villages in a 4x4 and roll past sprawling fields and orchards. There's time to pause by the Alara River and, in the summer months, cool off with a dip if you're up for it. Then, it's on to Alarahan Caravanserai, a historic stopover from old trade‑route days.Here, you'll sit down to dinner inside its stone walls and take a look at the wax‑figure displays of Seljuk and Ottoman sultans. Authentic dancing and detailed costumes help the Anatolian Sultans bring Ottoman customs and stories to life in a lively show.
