Taurusvuorten juurella on ollut vuosituhansien ajan matkailu- ja kauppapaikka. Tällä National Geographicin kierroksella tutustut alueen yhä elinvoimaisiin perinteisiin, ja vierailet yörük-perheen luona tutustumassa paimentolaiselämään.
Näet ensin Aspendoksessa sijaitsevan epätavallisen seldžukkien sillan, jonka kiehtovasta tarinasta kertoo sen ainutlaatuinen siksak-muodostelma. Silta on ylittänyt Köprüçay-joen tämän osan noin 300-luvulta lähtien, ja saat kuulla oppaaltasi enemmän sen merkityksestä.
Vierailet myös muinaisessa karavaanariseraljissa, joka on pysynyt hämmästyttävän hyvin ennallaan. Kävellessäsi oppaasi kanssa alkuperäisissä huoneissa, vartijoiden asuintiloissa, kylpytiloissa ja rukoushuoneessa saat käsityksen menneistä ajoista ja kaikista niistä useista ihmisistä, jotka kävivät täällä yöpymässä ja virkistäytymässä matkoillaan.
Yörük-heimo on noudattanut muinaisia paimentolaiselämän rytmejä vuosisatojen ajan. Joka kevät he siirtävät leirinsä ja laumansa rannikon leudoilta tasangoilta vuoriston kesälaitumille. Tutustu yörük-perheeseen ja opi lisää heidän vähäpäästöisestä elämäntyylistään.
Seuraavaksi nautit maukkaan aterian paikassa, josta avautuvat upeat näkymät Taurusvuorille. Lähistöllä on paikka, josta voit ostaa paikallisia tuotteita, kuten saippuaa, teetä ja öljyjä. Tuotoilla tuetaan yhteisöjä, jotka ovat kärsineet viimeaikaisista maanjäristyksistä ja metsäpaloista.
Lopuksi sinulla on aikaa tutustua kauniiseen Ormanan ottomaanikylään, joka tunnetaan nerokkaista "nappitaloistaan".

Alanya Castle and Cave Winter Tour with Lunch
A tale of two cities, Alanya is a true mix of the old and the new. It's a bustling resort that's home to a medieval castle and picturesque old town, where you'll have free time to explore. To top it off, there are visits to the Damlatas Caves and a shop where gourds are crafted into decorative lamps. Our expert local guide, Aylin, says “this tour factors in lots of different topics, so everyone will find something to catch their attention regardless of their interests. Plus, Turkish culture's on show almost the entire time, so you'll be like an expert on Turkey by the end of the tour.”With this winter tour, you'll start the day at the Damlatas Caves. Filled with stalagmites and stalactites, the cylindrical chamber within is said to cure asthma – that's not a cue to leave your inhaler at home, though. Next up is Seljuk Castle. Topping a headland jutting into the Mediterranean, it was built in the 13th century on the remnants of Roman and Byzantine castles. Explore its watchtower-studded battlements and peer through the holes from where hot oil was poured onto enemies when they were trying to invade the area.Then, you'll continue on to a craft shop where gourds are carefully carved into lamps, with great results. After lunch, the afternoon is yours. Go shopping in Alanya bazaar – market day is Friday – or relax in a café. Or go for a stroll on the gulet-crammed harbour or promenade before it's time to head back to your accommodation.
