What to expect

Inland Anatolia and the Taurus Mountains are a paradise for outdoors lovers. This full day tour includes a self-drive 4x4 safari, a walk through the Canyon of the Eagles, plus visits to ‘Green Cappadocia' and ancient Selge.

First up, you'll journey to Beskonak to learn how to drive your own air-conditioned off-roader. After a quick test run, you'll buckle up ready to bump down tracks and trails into the depths of the Canyon of the Eagles. Soak up the sights of nature on a walk in this idyllic spot before driving along the border of the Koprulu National Park, stopping at lookout points along the way.

After a hearty lunch, you'll explore the ruins of ancient Selge and its amphitheatre, enjoy a visit to nearby vegetation-clad rock formations – known by locals as ‘Green Cappadocia' – and stop off at the ancient Oluk Bridge. In summer, there's a short rafting trip down the River Euromedon, too.

    Eine an sich schöne Tour, aber leider sehr Störend, dass während der Tour mehrmals versucht wird irgendetwas zu Verkaufen. Zudem ist es Preislich nach unserer Meinung dafür zu teuer. Auch ist man nicht wirklich viel Offroad unterwegs.

    Wir fanden die Tour sehr schön. Ja wir sind nicht Offroad gefahren aber das ist auch schlecht möglich in den Bergen. Vielleicht sollte TUI die Tour einfach umbenennen. Super schöne Landschaft und toller Guide. Sehr lecker gegessen. Kann es weiter empfohlen.

    Een TOP daguitstap. Een 4x4 waar je de gehele dag mee op pad bent en naar je bestemmingen rijdt. Onze gids van de dag was Mehmet en een TOP gids. 23jaar ervaring en dat hoor je. Vertelde je heel interessante zaken naar de plaatsen waar we gingen. De lunch was ook heel lekker dat inbegrepen was. Het einde was een Rafting, die ook top was, de 2 begeleiders die meegingen op de raft brachten enorme sfeer en gezelligheid over de groep.

    Der Guide könnte etwas mehr auf die Urlauber eingehen, eventuell auch nicht nur auf Zeit achten mehr auf den Spaß, war etwas stressig, das dies jenes und hopp hopp fertig werden
