Why you’ll love this…

You'll learn about the ongoing restoration work of the ancient button houses in the village of Ormana
There'll be loads of opportunities to see wild Ormana horses roaming freely in the Eynif Plains
A stop at a family home in the remote hamlet of Urunlu for some Turkish tea is on the agenda
You'll check out the Altinbesik Caves and, in summer, take a boat ride along an underground river
There's no more than 16 people on the tour, and it's led by an expert local guide

What to expect

Uncover the secrets of Ormana village and its surrounds. On this exclusive small group tour, you'll visit mysterious caves and the ruins of an ancient caravanserai as well as have the chance to see the famous Ormana wild horses. This is an experience with a special focus on sustainability and community engagement. But it's also rewarding for you. As Muzzafer, one of our local guides, says, ‘Wild horses running freely and swimming in an underground lake – these mountains have so much to offer you and your camera.'

We begin the day by taking freshly brewed Turkish tea in a traditional Anatolian house in Ürünlü, a charming hamlet of red-roofed wooden and stone homes. Next, we'll hike from a nearby canyon to the Altinbesik Caves. Here – during summer months only – you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a subterranean dinghy ride.

Then it's on to Ormana, with its wooden mosque and its unusual ‘button houses'. Contributions from this tour support the villagers' efforts to restore these centuries-old dwellings. Soak up Ormana's laidback vibe before sitting down for a lunch of ‘KM0' products in a family-owned restaurant. In the afternoon, we'll head to the nearby ruins of an ancient caravanserai – a medieval motel for travelling traders. To round off this immersive countryside tour, we'll venture to the desolate landscapes of the Eynif Plains, where you'll hopefully witness the majestic wild horses roaming in their natural habitat.

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.
