MORE ABOUT THE TOUR

• Lake of Desires is an interesting excursion that includes a visit to the beautiful Altynbeshik cave and the lake hidden inside it, which is considered one of the largest cave lakes in the world.
• You are waiting for the magnificent mountain landscapes of the National Park, ancient sights, a unique village of its kind and boating on a mysterious pond.

• Your journey will take place on a comfortable bus. The route is laid along the picturesque mountain roads of the Toros Mountains, to the observation deck located at the top of 1200 meters, from which a wonderful panoramic view of the Green Canyon opens – this will be the first stop.
• Then, your way lies to the small village of Orman, which attracts attention with houses with unusual architecture – their appearance resembles buttons. Button houses are known all over the world, built without a single nail, made of stone and Lebanese cedar, they have been standing here unchanged for centuries, and they are also strong and cozy dwellings for people. You will find a fascinating guide's story about Turkish culture and history, after which you will look at the country with a completely different look.
• There will also be a stop for lunch, consisting of dishes of national cuisine and a visit to the ancient Ottoman mosque, which is more than 600 years old.
• The last stop will be near the Altynbeshik cave, which translates as "Golden Cradle". This unique place was discovered in 1966 and has not yet been fully explored.
• Altynbeshik is a horizontal three–tiered cave, 2500 meters long and 101 meters high. You will visit the first tier, swim along the lake from which the Manavgat River originates, admire stalactites, stalagmites and natural arches.
• The peculiarity of the tour is that you will explore the cave on an inflatable boat designed for 10 people. The water in the cave is icy, and the air temperature is 16C, regardless of the time of year.

• The excursion program to the Lake of Desire is designed for the whole day. When packing, give preference to comfortable, light clothes and shoes. Do not forget about the standard set of any traveler: a hat, sunscreen, drinking water, a camera, a small personal first aid kit, which will contain a disinfectant, a bandage, a patch, a sorbent and a drug that will help if you get seasick on the road.
