If you want to leave Turkey's wow-worthy beaches behind for a bit and get to grips with the country's more rugged-and-rural side, this 4x4 tour is for you. You'll head into the Dilek Peninsula Büyük Menderes Delta National Park, where a guide will show off the area's prettiest landscapes and more attractions. You'll wind your way through Echo Valley before heading to the park's highest summit. Then, you'll drive to Kursunlu Monastery, where you'll learn a bit about this Byzantine-era relic's history – you won't go inside, though. From here, you'll make tracks to Zeus Cave. According to mythology, Zeus once hid from his brother Poseidon here. Afterwards, it's on to the Rainbow Beach Club for a barbecue and some chill time.

It couldn’t have been more different from what was advertised. We didn’t go to the cave, we didn’t get a BBQ at the end. We had to pay for a drink on the tour despite the incredibly hot conditions. The tour guides were playing explicit music which had racial slurs and swearing, and they were not mindful of the fact that families and young children were on the tour. Overall, it was a very bad experience and we couldn’t wait to get back to our hotel.

Overall the route was well Planned but the food was very basic and soft drinks were not included. They were overpriced which was disappointing and location of the beach was not ideal

We did not get the full experience advertised, we missed the caves and there was no explanation why. We got taken to a petrol station before the trip even started to use the facilities. The weather was dull that day, so the views at the top of the mountain were poor. I asked the TUI rep about walking before the trip and was advised it was minimal, this was not the case, the path down to the monastery was uneven and dangerous for someone with mobility issues. The catering was poor.

This was our first time as a family doing a safari and what an amazing experience. We are so glad we decided to do it, as from the moment we got picked up, to drop off, the guides were friendly, informative, and generally a lovely group of men. My kids absolutely loved doing the echo in the mountains. Thankyou ever so much for such a lovely day out, we will definitely do this again but try the quad bikes or horses.

The guides focus heavily on taking photos to sell you a USB stick of images and videos at the end. We politely declined, having taken our own, and the lead guide reacted with anger, storming off when I said I didn’t need it. The “included lunch” was shocking. There were no fish or vegetarian options, and so I was given a plate of lettuce, fries, and slices of cheese because I don’t eat meat. I was left starving by the end of the tour. Drivers spoke no English, making hotel pickup chaotic.
