We were offered Dim Cave with lunch instead. Our driver was punctual and very friendly, taking us to some beautiful spots. Communication with the tour operator happened a day before via WhatsApp and went smoothly. Don’t expect too much from the lunch, but overall, it was a pleasant Land Rover experience through Turkey.
