“Negozi, negozi e solo negozi . In 7 ore di escursione almeno 6 le abbiamo passate per vedere negozi e pranzare e qualche visita panoramica . L’unica mezz’ora decente abbiamo visitato la città sotterranea . Sconsigliata !!!”
A 2-hour Rose and Red Valley hike in Cappadocia with wine farms, Column Church, cave-church stops, and a standout Red Valley sunset.
“Mustafa led a great hike. It was well-paced and he showed us little caves. We were able to linger a bit during the sunset, and had the peaceful views to ourselves. A very nice escape.”
Half-day guided hike at Termessos, Antalya’s Eagle’s Nest ruins. Early start, small group, easy paths, and expert history with great views.
“Very nice and informative. The hike path was beautiful, and the pace with the explanations was very well balanced, we went a tiny uphill but didn't feel it because we stop in nice view points for a bit of information. I really liked the style of the guide, Onder, to explain the history of different places with a small humor tone, but very complete.”
Kalkan tour to Saklıkent Gorge and Gizlikent Waterfall, with optional rafting and zipline plus lunch, hotel pickup, and drop-off.
“The trek was fantastic but we could not get beyond the cave because the rope had been cut so hard to climb up The rafting was brilliant fun too Driver very friendly and helpful”
2-hour sunset horseback ride through Cappadocia's Rose and Red Valleys, with pickup, guides, and panoramic fairy-chimney views.
“The horse riding adventure was pretty good. It's a leisurely linear walk with horses where you reach a summit, rest for 30 minutes, and then head back down. The route was relaxing and you get good sweeping views and great photo opportunities. However, we didn't cover as much ground as I had expected. I imagined the route would finish in a closed loop which would have allowed exposure to more of the valley but it was point A->B->A. We went right back the same way we had come. Murat did a good job engaging from the start as administrator but the other guide and driver I encountered were less sociable.…”
Pick the day first, then pick who runs it.
