• Pickup from hotel in Kusadasi

The Experience

The jeep picks you up from your hotel in Kusadasi in the morning and drives you to a meeting point where other jeeps are waiting. Once the convoy forms, you head into Dilek National Park and the off-road driving begins—dusty, wet and muddy tracks that climb into the highlands. This is where the adrenaline kicks in. The route passes through countryside and natural sites where you'll see the local flora and the villages scattered across the landscape. A short break happens at Kursunlu Monastery, about 10 km from Davutlar, before the tour continues deeper into the park.

Zeus Cave is where you stop for lunch and a swim. The cave sits in a dramatic natural setting, and after you've had time to look around, a freshly made BBQ meal waits—chicken, meatballs, salad, fried vegetables and fruit, with unlimited soft drinks included. You'll eat in the mountains, refuel, and then swim in the clear water before heading back to the jeeps for the final stretch of off-road driving.

Long Beach is the last stop, and it's where the pace slows. You get free time to swim in the sea or walk the shoreline and take in the landscape. When that's done, the jeeps head back to Kusadasi, arriving at your hotel in the afternoon. The whole tour runs six to seven hours from start to finish, and by the end you'll have covered serious ground—both the rough tracks and the moments in between.
