Seyhan Turan review 15 Jun 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Too many to choose from. The scenery in general, it is so unspoilt with native plants, meadows and wildlife in general. It was a special place to visit. We had the mountains to ourselves, it was nice not to rush, although we did decent walks, to stop and observe.. and our guide Julian was incredibly knowledgeable. He seems so committed to the area and so passionate so it felt like a privilege to be on this trip with him.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Dont forget your camera as there is so much flora & fauna, don't forget to ask questions as the guide has incredible knowledge. Hotel is comfortable and local food was really good so just bring yourself and the suncream.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We stayed at a local hotel which employed local people. Since our guide works in conservation, supporting him and increasing our awareness also helps in some ways.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
This was a truly special vacation in my opinion.. I am so glad I picked this vacation.Caroyl Mead review 29 Aug 2018

I enjoyed the whole vacation, we were particularly lucky with the weather and although August is getting a little late there were still some flowers to see. The caves were particularly interesting. Still quite a few flowers to see2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Possibly to take a travel plug for the wash basin.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Presumably as we stayed in a family run hotel which employed local people then it did benefit the local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I thoroughly enjoyed the vacation and our group leader Nelly Radkova was excellent.Holiday Reviews
