If an action packed adrenaline filled adventure sounds like your style, then a jeep safari may just be the thing for you.

The jeep safari gives you the opportunity to explore the areas surrounding Kusadasi that you wouldn’t normally see. The excursion lasts for a whole day and the itinerary may vary depending on which tour operator you book with.

It’s a brilliant, fun, day out and good value too. It cost approximately 30 lira which isn’t bad considering it starts at roughly 9.30am until 5.30pm, lunch included (you usually have to pay for your drinks).

The two most popular routes are: Into the hills of the wine village Sirince or through Davutlar, Guzelcamli and into the National Park, where you explore the area and stop off at a beautiful old monastery. The safari guarantees endless fun with water fights between the rival jeeps and stopping off to cool down in waterfalls.

You will be picked up by the jeep guides around 9.30am and headed to the National Park, stopping off at a supermarket along the way to buy drinks and munches ready for the four hour jeep ride around National Park ahead of you.

When you get to the National Park, they stop the jeeps and gather you all around to tell you what the itinerary for the day is.

There are lots of stops along the way, the first being a high point where the jeeps stop and you can shout and listen to the Echo echo echo echo echo all around the National Park mountains.

Along the way you stop at different areas along the mountain trail to fill up the bottles with water, ready for the next water fight, and then you come to a waterfall where you can swim and jump off rocks into the water.

The next stop is a beautiful old monastery, where the guides tell you information about the area and photographer climbs on to the roof and takes a photograph from the hole in the top, which you can purchase at the end of the day.

The view from the top of the mountain was simply amazing. blue skies, luscious green trees and mountains all around, with such a perfect view of the coastline that it was impossible to capture the sheer beauty of it on camera.

After that you start heading back down the mountain towards Guzelcamli where you stop and have a lunch of Pide in a Turkish cafe.

The Cave of Zeus is next on the itinerary, where you can swim in the beautiful, sparkling clear, deep mineral water inside the cave. According to mythology, Zeus used to swim inside, with the beautiful girls of the village, hiding from his jealous wife, Hera.

It’s absolutely freezing and you can see your breath when you enter the cave, but it’s a lovely experience. They say that if you swim in the mineral water and don’t turn into Kusadasi’s Next Top Model, you get a refund. Hordes of jeep tour’s are still waiting for their money.

The last stop before being dropped back to your hotel, is to a beach where you where you end the day sipping an efes in a cafe, lying on the beach or cooling off in the sea.
