Turkiye. Liman Reis – Çatalkaya – Liman Reis.
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.

Turkiye. Kavaklidere – Nazarkoy.
It was a hike with idadik club again. The weather was partly rainy, mostly cloudy. We were near Nif mt. but our guide didn’t lead us to the mountain. The plan was to move from one village to another. Stones are wet and the path was challenging sometimes. The total distance was about 22 km…
