Trekking in Turkey

trekking, Turkey is a mountainous country with beautiful scenery and large areas of unspoiled countryside, which are wonderful natural preserves for an extraordinary variety of wildlife, flora and fauna.

The mountainous nature of the country has had a strong influence on its cultural evolution. For centuries, nomads and semi-nomadic peoples have lived here and migrated annually with their livestock to the fresh pastures of the mountains and hills around. These alpine meadows, or yayla, still represent a firm tie to traditional culture.

Trekking allows you to get away from the crowds and discover the true beauty of Turkey – the friendly villagers, remote historic sites and stunning scenery. Serious climbers will probably want to explore Turkey’s rich interior and mountainous east but even by walking a short distance inland from some of the busiest coastal resorts, it can feel as if you are in a different world.

Turkey now has two official long distance footpaths, the Lycian Way, which was recently listed by the Sunday Times as one of the world’s top ten walks, and the newer St Paul Trail.

Other popular trekking areas are Cappadocia, Taurus Mountains and Kackar Mountains.
