Turkiye. Mt. Spil (1530m) #4. Beşpınar- Paşaini Mağarası-Spil Zirve-At Alanı.
It was a hike with Izdak.org. This isn’t my first hike up the mountain with the club. And the route we chose wasn’t difficult — from the south side. Last time we climbed from the north side, which is much more difficult. But this time the weather intervened. Meteorologists had predicted heavy rain, but it…

Turkiye. Mt. Nif (1510m) #3. Taşduvar – Nif zirve – Kemalpaşa.
This hike was with touristic club Izdak. Nothing particularly noteworthy except for thick fog near the summit. An uneventful route approximately 19 km long. Thankfully, there was no rain! wikiloc

Turkiye. Yukarikizilca – Mt. Mahmut (1352m) – Yukarikizilca. Frozen forest.
This hike was with touristic club Izdak. I have been previously to mt. Mahmut but it was autumn and another pathway (post). Last time our path ran along rocks and narrow ridges. It was interesting and challenging. This time our guide led us by more traditional but safe roads. The challenge was the weather not the…

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. Amazing Cappadocia. Goreme – Uchhisar.
I visited amazing Cappadocia with my lovely wife. We rented a car and moved to Antalya first to catch the passing summer. We enjoyed the still warm Mediterranean Sea and set off for Cappadocia the next day. We stayed at a small, cosy hotel “Alaturca House” in Goreme. Next day we booked a balloon flight…

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…

It was a hike with Idadik.org. This hike was devoted to the club’s founder Adnan Kayatepe. We started from Izmir in the late evening and arrived in Antalya early in the morning. Then there was the traditional morning soup for breakfast. After that, we reached the foot of the mountain and set off. We started…
