The village of Ormana is located in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, about 95 kilometers from Manavgat and is famous for its button houses, built only of stone and boards without nails or cement.

Would like to go mushroom picking in the mountains? Here, you might find the morel mushroom. It’s the second most expensive edible mushroom in the world after the truffle.

From here, you can go to Altınbeşik Cave. It translates to “Golden Cradle” and is 5.5 kilometers long, the largest underground sea cave in Turkey and the third largest in Europe. You can go inside the cave in rubber dinghies.

We recommend renting a car to get to Ormana. If you don’t want to do that, you can join one of the organized tours that leave from Manavgat or Side.
