What to expect

Uncover the secrets of Ormana village and its surrounds. On this exclusive small 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.

    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?

    Also als erstes ist und negativ aufgefallen das dir Tour uns angepriesen wurde als „kleine Gruppe“. 16 Personen maximal, wir waren 27. hätten wir das gewusst hätten wir das ganze schon mal abgewählt. 8 Hotels anfahren um Leute einzusammeln und diese wieder abzusetzen wollen wir nicht. Der Bus mit dem wir gefahren sind, super alt. Aber ok. Der Ausflug an sich und auch unser Reiseleiter waren top. Allerdings wollte man die ganze Fahrt etwas verkaufen das war nervig. Viele tolle Infos vom Leiter.

    Wir hätten uns mehr von den Geschichten gewünscht mehr Hintergründe zu den Dörfern und der Kultur sowie mehr von der Höhle…. Leider waren wir mehr im Bus als das wir von dem ganzen erfahren hätten

    Leider fand die Tour bei sehr schlechtem Wetter statt. Wir haben gar nichts gesehen, alles im Nebel. In Ormana selbst hat es geschüttet. Leider keine Regenschirme oder Capes im Bus. Bin sehr enttäuscht, da die Tour sehr teuer war und wir uns viel mehr versprochen haben. Wir haben auch mehrmals an Tagen zuvor nachgefragt, ob die Tour stattfindet. Wir sind sehr unzufrieden und erwarten ein Statement seitens tui. Die Tour hätten wir uns sparen können. Haben nichts gesehen außer Nebel.
