More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease into the driver's seat as the valley opens up — scrubby pines to your left, sun-baked limestone ridges to your right, and the distant Mediterranean glinting beyond the first foothills of the Taurus Mountains. The buggy rumbles forward, tires kicking up dust that hangs like a pale curtain behind you; the guide calls turn-by-turn, and the trail narrows into a ribbon of rock and sand.

History
The Taurus range has long marked inland Anatolia from the coast; ancient Lycian and Roman routes cut through nearby valleys and fragments of terraces and stone enclosures remain.
Conservation
Stick to established tracks to limit erosion and avoid disturbing grazing land; operators should minimize off-trail driving to protect fragile soils and native plants.
