Prehistoric art, Byzantine monasteries, and epic hikes—this is nature’s greatest hits, with a side of ruins and a rustic lakeside brunch to top it off.

This epic hike passes through a unique landscape of boulder-covered olive groves overlooking Lake Bafa.

Had the most extraordinary curated bike trip to the Greek islands with Roots. Every detail was perfect from the unexplored trails to the best restaurants and places to say. Can’t recommend how great a Roots adventure is!

Great guides, great routes, great service. Well done Altay and the team. Very much enjoyed all biking trips, we did together. They also designed a special route for our 7 year old daughter. A day to remember. Looking forward for next ones.

Just ended another amazing weekend at Olympos this time with my favorite travel guides! Starting the day with yoga, cycling in nature, walking in history, new friendships, exploration for kids with fun… I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to live it all to the fullest in just 3 days. Altay and Rikki, Duygu, Egemen thank you very much for the energy of your team and your efforts to always offer us the best. Mostly thank you Dean, the kids were truly happy and learned what we wouldn't be able to teach with that much fun
