Overnight Karaoz.

Day 2 – Walk from Karaoz, Melanippe Beach to Adrasan. 11.5 miles / 19 kms. 7 to 8 hours walking time

The grade is difficult. A beautiful walk with many ascents and descents. Great views throughout the peninsula. Rugged coastline and pine forests. Overnight in Adrasan.

Day 3 – Walk from Adrasan to Cirali. 8.5 miles / 14 kms. 6 to 7 hours walking time

The grade is difficult. A fairly steep climb and descent (approx 800 mtrs) over Mount Moses (Musa Dagi) with wonderful views. The descent through woodland before reaching the ruins and onto Cirali Beach. Overnight in Cirali.

Day 4 – Walk from Cirali to Beycik. 10.5 miles / 17 kms. 7 to 8 hours walking time

The grade is difficult. Today’s walk is an almost continuous steady climb. Leaving Cirali you will make a climb to the Chimera (natural gas flames) on the mountainside. Onwards to the pretty village of Ulupinar with its abundant trout streams and restaurants. Finally upwards to the pretty hamlet of Beycik. Overnight in Beycik.

Day 5. Walk from Beycik to Yayla Kuzdere. 8 miles / 13 kms. 7 hours walking time

The grade is difficult. Today’s walk climbs up to a pass over Mount Tahtali and then descends to the lovely village of Yayla Kuzdere. It is a mountainous section with some exhilarating views. There is option to climb to the summit but this takes an extra 3 hours and we advise caution as cloud can quickly cover the summit. Overnight in Yayla Kuzdere.

Day 6. Walk from Yayla Kuzdere to Goynuk Yayla. 10.5 miles / 17 kms. 7-8 hours walking time

The grade is difficult. A wonderful day hike. The pretty hamlet of Gedelme has its castle ruins and ancient plane trees. The massive trunks of which are 1000s of years old. After Gedelme you will follow a narrow path before coming to forest path climbing up the hillside. The route then descends through pine forest and opens out to a Yayla (flat green area). The route then continues on forest paths and tracks along small streams before crossing a river bed. Overnight in Yayla Kuzdere.

Day 7 . Walk from Goynuk Yayla – Goynuk Canyon. 13 miles / 20 kms. 8 hours walking time

The grade is difficult. A very scenic walk, one of our very favourites. You will cross stream beds and climb through pine forests before descending to a beautiful canyon. The views are wonderful near the summit. Overnight in Goynuk.
