From Turkler into the evening mountains
The 4×4 vehicles collect you in Turkler in the late afternoon – we confirm the exact time after booking. After a day at the beach there is time to shower and change before you head inland, through forests and villages, just in time for the golden hour.
From panoramic viewpoints you watch the sun sink into the Mediterranean while the lights of Alanya and its castle start to sparkle below. The evening continues in a traditional mountain village, where you are welcomed with Turkish hospitality and a dinner of local specialities, followed by a colourful folk dance show – joining in is welcome. After dinner the safari continues into the dark along forest tracks; with a little luck you may spot foxes or wild boars. The night ends around a crackling campfire under a sky full of stars, and you are back at your hotel in Turkler around midnight.
