At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Side and head towards the Taurus Mountains, home to small villages and breathtaking landscapes.

Next is the village of Ürünlü, famous for its button houses. We'll learn the secrets of this Turkish village inside a traditional house, where you can purchase tea or coffee.
Our following stop is Alt?nbe?ik Cave National Park, where we'll partake in a boat ride on Turkey's largest underground lake, cruising through impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations in the Golden Cradle Cave.
After a 20-minute boat ride, we will have a full traditional lunch at a restaurant in Ormana. Next, we will visit Sarihacilar Köyü to see a traditional house and an over 650-year-old Ottoman mosque.
