One of the best ways to get
away from the bustle of big cities and the
stress of work is to escape into the wilderness.
This desire has caused the rapid development
of a tourism known as nature tourism. The general
name given to walks are done in conditiones

requires a certain amount of effort and fitnes,
but is very economical when compared with other

Some of our highlights are:
Visiting small villages in which original traditions are still maintained.
For many the way of life has not changed for centuries and their houses are
still within the caves, created thousands of years ago. Sometimes we even have
a chance to share in this atmosphere with local families and enjoy together
a traditional lunch or take part in a marriage ceremony.
We are exploring rarely seen regions, overwhelming with natural charm. Walking
in small villages and trekking through valleys which have not suffered the
ravages of mass tourism. We are also taking some time to visit wonderful waterfalls
(Yahyali/Derebag) only recently discovered by the Turkish inhabitants. If you
are interested we may also make picnic and barbecue in this lovely environment.
If you like to swim we can go to lake „Damsa" near our historical
city. We can go trekking here and relax afterwards in the warm water of this
fascinating place.
Other points of interest are, for example a region protected by the government
where you can see thousands of different birds. This place is officially called
Sultansazligi, but the people here just call it bird paradise.
If you visit in winter time we also make excursions to the mountain Erciyes
(3916 m) which is very popular for skiing.
