A relaxing but
rough and ready day for the more adventurous.
Travel the rugged paths inland to explore the unexplored! Feel like
getting down to it and dusty and dirty? Don your scruffy shorts and
prepare for the ride of your life.
The convoy of 15 vehicles, with 45 passengers, sets off early in the
morning as the sun's rays are beginning to light the surrounding
hills with the background sound of bells as the flocks of sheep are
brought back to the fold. The route takes in 6 bays and covers about
200 km during the course of the day before returning to the starting
point in the evening. Your experienced driver will lead the convoy
of jeeps inland to enable you to capture some pure unspoilt scenery
on film. Taking the trails not too well worn and taking you to
places off the beaten track… as well as a chance to explore the
local Jami (or Mosque).
The safari really goes through an exciting route of winding roads, a
few narrow unsurfaced roads where 2 vehicles cannot easily pass each
other. The road passes through dense pine forests, the trees soaring
up 20 meters. Road hazards include flocks of sheep and traditionally
dressed village women. Every 2 or 3 kilometers groups of beehives
can be seen: Marmaris is renowned for its pine honey.
After the "dirty & dusty" trail the refreshing dip in the local
waterfall hidden amongst the trees is well worth the walk up the
hill - as you jump into the crystal cool waters of 'Salale' feel the
grime just wash away.
