Go for a trip to the Taurus mountains to a beautiful unspoiled Sapadere Canyon. Trek in the canyon or swim in the waterfall and go deep into the fantastic Gnom's Cave. Visit Sapadere village hidden in the mountains with its mosque, windmill and and be a guest of Turkish family in their farm house. Enjoy one day outside the city with lunch in the bosom of nature.You will leave your hotel around 9:00am and drive to the Taurus mountains so you can be sure you will be far from the touristic hustle and bustle, experience the beauty of wild nature and learn about real life of local people. After 40km ride, in the mountain village your tour begins.
You will visit a Turkish family in their house so you can have a look how the rural life really looks like. You can sit at the terrace of the house and drink traditional turkish tea or coffee with the hosts. Then you will step into a nerby mosque and while sitting on soft carpet of little village mosque you will find out what actually is an Islam.
Then there will be only nature. Down the delineated path, we will enter the Sapadere Canyon, where between steep walls there is a rapid river that falls into the scenic cascades and waterfalls. For those who are hardened there is an attraction – swimming in the mountain waterfall. Then, stepping out of the path we will visit a local tavern to try a fresh trout among the other available things.
Before going back to the hotel, it is worth to dig deep into the abyss of beautiful mountain Goblin Cave, where between the stalactites you are able to see sleeping bats (the ticket cost additional 3€). Culture and nature, tradition a step away from modern resort.
