Turkiye. Kiriklar – Mt. Gelin (1497m) – Kaynaklar.
I’ve been at mt. Gelin a couple of years ago (post). That time the weather was sunnier. This hike was by another pathway. And the weather was different. It was cloudy. The clouds lay right on top of the mountain, but they weren’t just lying there, they were moving with the wind. Their movement resembled…

Turkiye. Mt. Murat (2312m). Kula – Salihli Unesco Global Geopark.
It was two-day activity with a small team from Idadik.org. We started from Izmir at Friday night and reached thermal resort at the foot of the Murat mountain before the dawn. After a brief preparation, we switched on our headlamps and set off for the mountain. We climbed most of the steep, forest-covered slope in…

Turkiye. Kavaklidere – Nazarkoy.
I have been there almost the same date last year but today the weather was opposite – warm and sunny. You can compare the difference by yourself. The hike was with touristic club Izdak. The total distance was about 21 km and the elevation gain was 877m. Wikilock

Turkiye. Antalya – Lycian Way – Gelidonia lighthouse.
It was a hike with Idadik.org and our second day in Antalya region. We decided to reach Gelidonia lighthouse on the Lycian Way. Our route was short because we had to return to Izmir after lunch. The road offered picturesque views of the coast. There are also several viewing points near the lighthouse, offering views…

Turkiye. Niğde – Maden – Meditsiz mt. (3524m). Day 2
It was a hike with Idadik.org. As I described in the previous post, we got camp near Karagol lake. Our next climb promised to be more difficult. We woke up early in the dark – about 4 a.m. Not all of teammates could find a power to participate, only five of us. We started after…

Turkiye. Konya – Aydos mt. (3428m). Day 1.
It was a hike with Idadik.org. First of all, we made a long way by car from Izmir to Konya province. It took all night to get there. Our car isn’t very comfortable. We were three passengers on the back seat. I was able to sleep maybe a couple of hours that night. Our car…

Turkiye. Korutürk – Halkapınar çeşmesi – Manastır – Balçova
There was a public holiday in Turkiye in the middle of the week. I used it to take what has become a familiar route through the suburban hills of Balçova. I had walked it several times before, but each time by a slightly different route, and so I had never found the spring at the…

Turkiye. Manisa – Spil mt. (1530m) – Beshpinar.
It was a hike with Izdak.org. I thought it will be a simple hike to the Spil mt. from south side. We did it already with the club at winter. But when we came out from a bus, I realized that we are near of the north side! Cool ))) The adventure was started but…

Turkiye. Akyurt – Büyükkale.
It was track about 18km by forest roads. The weather was perfect – sunny, not too hot, about 18-20 degrees. Good company! What else needs for happiness? I forgot to turn on recording after the lunch and got a straight line wikiloc and closer to the finish my phone ran out of power. About 5…
