Trekking Trails in Turkey

 Many regions in Turkey are suitable for  trekking. In general, we collect the trekking tours in  three main routes: Taurus, Kackars and Cappadocia. However apart from these three main routes  there are many places in Aegean, Mediterranean and Marmara regions where  the daily trekking tours are organized. Attending one of the Trekking tours organized at the  weekends will take you away from  the  noise and  crowd of  the city, walks done in the nature just for a few hours will make you  start a new week more restful.
