  • 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

  • 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.

    Travelled as a couple


    Der Reiseführer hat sehr viel über die Türkei und die Gegend in der wir unterwegs waren erzählt. Wir konnten alles fragen, hatte immer eine Antwort! Eigentlich sollten wir mit einer kleinen Gruppe fahren , hatten aber dann doch einen großen Bus. Dadurch hat alles länger gedauert.

    Der Bus war für solch eine lange Fahrt (ca. 4 Std. im Bus verbracht) nicht geeignet. Der Guide war über die Lautsprecheranlage nicht zu verstehen. Wir waren statt mit max. 16(Kleingruppenausflug) mit 32 Personen unterwegs! Die Lüftung im Bus war eine Katastrophe! In der Höhle und bei den Wildpferden vor Ort, gab es keinerlei Informationen. Das war eine ganz schlechte Tour aus der man mit Sicherheit etwas machen könnte. So war das nichts! Der Preis dafür ist mit nichts zu rechtfertigen!

    Da der Guide nicht von Anfang an dabei war, war es etwas unangenehm das der Fahrer einfach 10min später kam und kommentarlos, ohne Begrüßung anhielt. Er sah aus wie ein klassischer Dolmus. Auf Nachfrage meinte er nur "Ormana". Wir fragten ob es sich um den Tagesausflug handele und er erwiderte erneut "Ormana" . Daraufhin fragten wir die Mitfahrer im Bus, welche dann bestätigten das es sich um den Ausflug handele.

    Ich habe fest gestellt das die Tour über Up 5 Euro preiswerter ist als das was ich gezahlt habe. Ich habe 80 Euro im Hotel beim Betreuer von TUI bezahlt. Bin ich aber erst später drauf gestoßen. Sonst was der Programm super. Mann sollte in der Up vielleicht erwähnen das Hotel Gäste aus anderen Hotel eingesammelt werden und man sich daher auf ne zeitintensiver fahrt einstellen sollte. Der Guide war super hat viel erzählt.

    Ali war der beste Reiseleiter, den ich je hatte. Er hat ein unglaubliches Wissen und brachte alles gut rüber ohne zu langweilen. Man konnte ihm nur gespannt zu hören. Ein interessanter Ausflug, den ich irgend wann einmal wieder machen würde
