Tour of Altinbesik Cave, Avasun, and Ürünlü
At the designated time, we will collect you from your hotel in Side and set off towards the majestic Taurus Mountains. This remarkable mountain range hosts charming villages and unforgettable vistas. Let’s begin our adventure!
Our initial destination is Avasun, often referred to as the 'laurel village'. Ascending to an altitude of 1200 meters (3937 ft), we will soak in the breathtaking scenery of the Green Canyon, Green Lake, and the splendid views over Manavgat.
We will then proceed to the quaint village of Ürünlü, renowned for its intriguing button houses. What is the story behind these unique structures? Our knowledgeable guide will reveal the secrets of this Turkish village from within a traditional home, where you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
Next, we will make our way to Alt?nbe?ik Cave National Park, where an exhilarating boat expedition on Turkey's largest underground lake awaits. Glide through the stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations found in the Golden Cradle Cave.
Following a 20-minute boat journey, we'll savor a hearty traditional lunch at a local restaurant in Ormana. Our adventure continues with a visit to Sarihacilar Köyü, allowing us to explore a traditional home and admire an Ottoman mosque over 650 years old.
We will then conclude our day by returning to Side, with a farewell at your hotel approximately 9 hours after our departure.
