Had a super day on your Turkiye Village trip, a big thank you to Kemer for giving us such an insight into past and present history and lives, in excellent English! And to our careful driver. The itinerary was a perfect blend of historic, scenic, environmental,, water activity and food. If pressed to say what was our highlight, I would say the museum at the beginning - but also worth a big mention , the farmers market and the Turkish family house.

We liked that we pretty much got the tour to ourselves, we got picked up from our hotel, went to different locations (stunning btw) tour guide was sweet, lovely and very knowledgeable. Got a whole bout tour for just us and the same with a museum tour. 10/10. Might be good to just clarify pricing but all in all highly recommend!

This excursion was practically perfect. All the places visited, from the mosque, to the Roman ruins, from the bazaar to the boat trip, were great. The guide had great historical and medicinal plant knowledge, and both he and the driver were very friendly and even helped with our children. The only bad thing was the restaurant where we had lunch, the food wasn't much, we didn't have anything for our eldest son and they rushed it a bit. A part of that it was a fantastic day.

Eine Führung in einer Kleingruppe ist sehr angenehm. Ich war am 23.4. sogar allein. Mit dem Kleinbus in's Hinterland, mit einem Besuch in einem kleinen Museum (gute 1/2 h) als Einstieg in die Geschichte der Region, vielen kleinen Stopps und immer interessant erklärt, einem Mittag aneinem Stausee, einer Bootstour mit Badestopp. Das war ein wunderbarer Tag und jeden Cent wert. Danke.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present

Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Exploring Antalya's Nomadic Culture

The foothills of the Taurus mountains have been a region of travel and trade for millennia. On this National Geographic tour, you'll embrace the region's ancient traditions that are still thriving today and immerse yourself in the nomadic lifestyle by visiting a Yörük family. Head over to the Seljuk bridge at Aspendos with your guide who will reveal alluring facts about the site. Built around the 4th century on the banks of Köprüçay, this architectural marvel is renowned for its distinctive zigzag design, a testament to its intriguing history. Continue your voyage and head over to an ancient caravanserai, where much of the original layout remains remarkably intact. Step back in time as you wander through the inn's chambers, guardian's quarters, bathhouse, and prayer hall alongside your guide. This is a place that radiates history, where countless travelers sought refuge and replenishment. The Yörük people have perfected their nomadic lifestyle for centuries. Every spring, communities migrate with their herds from the gentle coastal plains to the mountainous summer pastures. Spend time with a Yörük family and learn about their sustainable ways of life. Tuck into a tasty meal with eye-catching views of the Taurus mountains. Nearby, you'll find a spot to purchase locally-made goods like soaps, teas, oils, and more. Proceeds support communities affected by recent earthquakes or forest fires. Finally, Explore Ormana, an Ottoman village famous for its ingeniously crafted 'button houses'.
