Please Note: In response to overwhelming passenger feedback that one hike in the Kayakoy region was sufficient, we have changed the itinerary and dropped Saklikent Gorge from the included activities on this trip. It has been replaced by the most popular optional activity in 2007 of visiting a real working Dervish lodge in Bursa to see the Sema performed. This gives a great opportunity to really interact with some locals and learn about their culture. There is still plenty of free time in Kayakoy for those who would like to visit Saklikent as an option.
