Since 1975...
In 1975, we organised a two-week group travel in Turkey for the first time. Since then we have worked consistently to offer our travel participants exquisite offerings away from mass tourism. At first we only offered tours in Turkey, but since 1982 we have been organising tours in many countries. We have been to all our travel destinations personally !

You will be warmly welcomed in small groups, the number of participants is limited. The common experience creates an amicable atmosphere right from the start.

The stay in preferably only one accommodation during the whole tour is a central concern for us. This fixed location will be the starting point for the walking trips as well as bus rides and boat trips. Even on tours that require often changes of locations there is a longer stay in one of the accommodations. To increase the recreational value of your holidays, we chose small and friendly hostels in which the staff pays careful attention to the guests’ wishes. You will stay right at the beach, in the mountains, in small villages or in town. That way you will have plenty of time to swim, lounge on the beach, take a walk or stroll through the city. Since you will stay in one place for a longer time you have the opportunity to do something on your own instead of going on the organised day tours. We strive to keep the driving times short to save as much time as possible.

The delicious meals we offer in our own resorts in Turkey are chosen with care. We set a high value on fresh vegetables, salads, fruits and local products.

For families and children, some of the Club-Natura Resorts are especially suitable, like for example Oliva and Cilicia, where we offer outstandingly low prices for children up to 16 years.

Since 1985 we are known as pioneers of eco-friendly travels. We received the WWF-Environmental Award and the press – a big news magazine and others – described our resort Club Natura Oliva several times as a successful example for ‘gentle tourism’. Television also repeatedly gave a positive account of us.

We know our destination areas personally because we explored almost all of them ourselves. Incidentally, virtually all of the photos in this catalogue were taken by Mr. Koch.

Unusual photo motives can be found because most of our trips lead into areas that are visited by only few strangers. The tours offered are suitable because you walk slowly and stop often to take a closer look, stay a while, take photos or videotape.

We specialise in closed group travels. For groups, our unique Club Natura Oliva is best suitable. Those who plan a group travel are invited to have a look. Please apply as soon as possible. Here is a list of closed groups we already organised travels for: Location groups of nature protection organisations, ornithology clubs, animal photographers, Leica Photography, film and vclasseo, location groups of BUND (Friends of Earth), Black Forrest Club, other hiking clubs, yoga seminars, Turkish language classes, painting classes, excursions for students of zoology, botany, geology, geography, as well as choral society, district council groups handicapped groups, fasting, canoe and bicycle groups and many larger groups.
