Chatalkaya in Turkish means “forked rock”. Chatalkaya Mt. has two summits connected with a pass. The company of soulmates decided to visit this interesting mountain. The weather was beautiful. The start point is close to the Izmir and could be reached with a bus. The conditions are ideal. We went without rushing and enjoyed views. After several hours we reached the summit and got a lunch. The way back was via village road. We returned to the city in the twilight. The total distance was about 18 km (wikiloc told about 30km!!!) and the elevation gain was 1025m. wikiloc
