The fewest, even local, do not know the "secret of Ormana", while it is not so far away.İn the middle of the Taurus where the deepest gorges in small villages hide and on the steep slopes ancient settlements stick like birds' nests, there is a secret in the depths of a ravine. To get there, a dream journey on a remote high mountain road is necessary. With minibuses that can be traveling on rough roads, it goes from the hotel directly up into the Taurus. We drive from Manavgat on a high mountain pass in northern direction. At about 1.200 m foresight panorama over the bay of Antalya. In the Valley the Green Canyon is at your feet.
