It was a hike with Idadik.org. It wasn’t a difficult hike, but it took us through some beautiful scenery. As usual, we left Izmir at night and arrived at the starting point very early, before dawn. Right there in the dark, we changed into our hiking gear and set off by the light of our headlamps. The trail wound through the forest, gradually climbing upward. By dawn, we had climbed above the tree line and were able to enjoy the sunrise in the mountains. It was beautiful. The weather was calm and windless, with no rain. Next came some rocky sections, but they were quite passable. There were no steep climbs either. So, little by little, we made our way to the summit. As usual, we took some photos, then began our descent. We made it down early, around 11 a.m. After that, a short bus ride to the coast awaited us, followed by some relaxation in the idyllic village of Ekincik. wikiloc
