Ulupinar is a traditional Turkish village located 30km from Kemer. This place is famous for its’ icy cold water which comes from the Taurus Mountains and has long been used by local people for trout farming. There are some Turkish-style restaurants in Ulupinar situated along the river offering fishing, swimming and picnic facilities.
This tour begins with a short drive to Ulupinar where, on arrival some information is given about the place and the day’s programme before the fishing equipment is distributed and everyone who wants to, can try to catch some trout from the river. After 1-1.5 hours of fishing there is free time to explore the area while the cook prepares your catch. This beautiful area is a great place to explore; it is possible to walk along the side of the mountain river, passing small waterfalls. If brave enough, an icy swim can be enjoyed in the river.
After enjoying the fresh air and working up an appetite, it is time to have a delicious picnic at one of the restaurants by the riverbank. Under the shade of trees, it is a memorable experience to taste the freshly caught fish (chicken is also available for those who prefer) eaten with a local salad and unlimited local drinks. Before returning to resort, there is time to relax in this pleasant environment. A fun day for all the family looking for a few hours away from the heat of the summer sun.
An amazing and unforgettable experience with a mystical atmosphere. After collection from the hotels, the tour will drive to a meeting point to meet the guide and join the jeeps for the safari, driving through Kuzdere, Camyuva and Tekirova until it arrives at Cirali Beach, a 3 km long, beautiful beach (a swimming break is given). It’s a short drive from there to Yanartas (burning stone) which is located above the Cirali Village near Olympos.
This hill is also known as Chimera due to the myth about a fire-spewing monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a snake. According to mythology, the monster Chimera brings fire to earth from seven layers deep; the actual cause for the flames is a natural underground gas source. The flames burn all year round and are especially attractive to visit in the dark. After Chimera the tour moves on to Ulupinar Waterfall Restaurant for dinner (fish or chicken, starter plate, salad and seasonal fruits).
At 10.00 pm the tour begins the return journey back to Kemer. This tour is specially organised in the evening because it is more attractive to visit the flames of Chimera in the dark when the fire is more visible.

The ancient region of Troas is located along the Northern Aegean coastline very close to Canakkale and in the shadow of Mount Ida.

Come face to face with one of Mother Nature’s most dramatic creations with this fascinating full day tour to Pamukkale and Hierapolis. For thousands of years, visitors have been drawn to this rare and fascinating calcium landscape to relax in the thermal springs.
Arrive at Pamukkale and your jaw will drop at the amazing winter-like scenes. Formed by calcium-filled springs pouring down the mountainside, its glacier-white ridges and pools look like an Arctic wonderland. You will see water laden with calcareous salt, which as it plunges down the mountain side, has created this natural formation of stalactites, falls and basins. There are just a handful of these in the planet and they have to be seen to be believed. The contrast with the surrounding landscape is particularly stark.
Snap photos as you wander about and explore the nearby ruins of Hierapolis where there is a well-preserved Roman theatre and ancient thermal baths which have been restored and converted into an archaeological museum. Other significant sites include the Temple of Apollo, The Necropolis and The Nymphaeum and the fourth century basilica.

As you climb, you'll be treated to some fantastic panoramic views that stretch far out over the sea and it gets even better when you reach the top - the patios and viewing platforms at the upper station provide a 360 degree panorama across the surrounding landscape.
Want a top-notch tan whilst trying something new? Then a trip to a hammam or Turkish bath is definitely for you. Hammams have existed in Turkey since ancient times, providing locals with a way to relax, freshen up and catch up with gossip all at the same time.
They are also brilliant for exfoliating your skin so you are more likely to develop a lasting tan. Everything starts when we take you to one of the best local hammams. Here, you will change into your swimwear in a cubicle and wrap up in a towel. Then it is off to the hammam itself - a humid, marble-tiled room with a `gobektasi', or heated stone slab, in the centre. Relax as the heat softens your skin, opens your pores and gets you sweating out those toxins. Next, you will lie on the `gobektasi', where you will be treated to a body scrub followed by a head-to-toe massage in soft, soapy bubbles. And after that, you will get an all-over oil massage, leaving you positively glowing and the most relaxed you have ever felt. A great way to start your holiday.
Starting this tour is a boat trip to Kekova Island. As well as being an area of outstanding beauty, the island is famous for its underwater ruins, the relics of an ancient town partially submerged by an earthquake in the second century. While you're here, there'll also be a short stop for you to swim in the sea. After lunch, you'll head to Demre, located on the site of the ancient city of Myra. As well as seeing some of the remains of Myra, including the amphitheatre and rock tombs, you'll visit the Church of St Nicholas, who is better known today as Father Christmas.
