Chatalkaya in Turkish means “forked rock”. I visited this mountain in November when the weather was beautiful. I offered my friend to repeat the hike. The forecast was convenient – the rain in the evening only. But we forget wise local proverb: “Don’t believe Izmir’s girls and Izmir’s weather”. Closer to the mountain we met strong wind and heavy rainfall with a hail. But we decided to reach the top. Crazy people)) On the top real storm with thunder and lightnings began. We made shorts and sprinted down the hill. Thanks god we survived! The total distance was about 15 km and the elevation gain was 1149m. wikiloc
