My wife and I enjoyed every step. Seeing craftsmen make Sürmene knives was a bonus highlight, but the real gems were Çal Cave’s dripping formations and the plateau’s panoramic beauty. Ending with lunch by Sera Lake and a serene boat ride made it an eight‑hour dream.

Our group set off early for Çal Cave, and wow—the stalactites and that hidden stream were beyond anything we expected. At Hıdırnebi Plateau, the breeze and endless green fields felt like a secret highland paradise. We wrapped up with a gentle boat ride on Sera Lake as the sun dipped behind the hills. Flawless organization and each stop had us smiling.
Helpful? Yes
This tour was a lovely blend of nature and culture. Wandering through the cave’s cool chambers was fascinating, and I appreciated the guide’s insights at every turn. Hıdırnebi’s vistas were stunning, though I would’ve liked ten more minutes to fully soak them in. Sera Lake’s boat ride was a peaceful finish.

Our teens got a kick out of the cave passages and the underground stream. Hıdırnebi Plateau’s rolling meadows were picture‑perfect, though we felt rushed crossing the plateau. The calm waters of Sera Lake provided a welcome chance to unwind before heading back.
Helpful? Yes
I loved exploring the cave’s winding corridors, but the pace between stops felt a bit tight—especially on the plateau, where I wanted more time. Sera Lake’s quiet shores were a peaceful end, yet I wish the day had allowed for a longer stroll around the water.
