Your jeep safari day from Turkler
Our minibus picks you up at your hotel in Turkler; we confirm the exact time after booking. The bus comes from the west, from Okurcalar and Avsallar, and follows the coast road through Konakli and Alanya to Oba, east of the town, in about 40 minutes. After a short briefing the 4×4 jeeps leave the tarmac and climb into the Taurus Mountains.
The day brings forest tracks, a break at the Kadıpınar waterfall, gözleme pancakes in a Yörük nomad tent and a drive through two mountain villages. From a viewpoint high above you look down on the Dim dam and the valley; lunch is served at a restaurant on the banks of the Dim River, where you can swim in the cool water. In the afternoon the jeeps head back, and you are at your hotel in Turkler in the late afternoon.

- Pack swimwear and a towel: the Dim River stays cool even in August.
