Hiking
tours reveal the stunning beauty of the Taurus Mountains and their
plateaus. Don't worry about not being an expert hiker as there are
organised tours are open to most ages and degrees of physical fitness.
You can enjoy a cooler
climate whist learning about the rich and varied wildlife of the highlands
with their clear ice-cold springs, lakes, soaring peaks, alpine pastures and
mountain valleys. Lunch is usually provided.
You can also meet the local
people as you visit mountain settlements and semi-nomadic villages along the
way.
The two main types of
hiking tours are daily tours near Kalkan and nearby
villages and sites, or overnight stays further away from Kalkan around Mount
Bey or Mount Akdağ.
Of course, a good local
travel company can plan an itinerary to fit your needs and interests. You'll
find several in Kalkan's centre.
