This interesting travel offers us a colored view into the traditional way of life of the native people of the Taurus Mountains. Through the narrow, curved roads away the Great City of Side with slopes in flowers and smelling stone pine forests we arrive in an idyllic mountain village named Buyukalan. We sit down in the native coffeehouse and drink Turkish tea with the former nomads, present farmers, and experience the usual everyday life in a village. On our drive through Buyukalan lands, our guide informs us about the life, traditions and customs of the village people. In this travel we will see men and women working in the fields, and meet women baking pita. In one of the small villages we will also visit a small village mosque and be informed much about the Islam in Turkey. After a typical and cozy Turkish lunch in an old house in Buyukalan, and visit to the old water mill in the village, we will silence and peace in the Taurus, far from tourism. In the afternoon, following the visit to the old graves and the cemetery of Buyukalan, our return trip to Side will begin.
