We found the journey to the cave and village to be a refreshing escape from the usual hustle of business trips. The transport was comfortable, allowing us to enjoy the scenic views, and the guide was knowledgeable, shedding light on the rich Turkish heritage surrounding us. However, while the cave’s natural beauty was captivating, we felt that the time spent there could have been slightly longer to fully absorb its wonders.

Exploring the breathtaking Altınbesik Cave truly stole our hearts, especially when we marveled at its stunning limestone formations. While the guided tour offered rich insights into the local heritage, we wished for a bit more time in Ormana Village to soak in its charming atmosphere.
