Our Experience
With our background in trail development and a deep and irresistible desire to explore, we research each area in depth to uncover all its hiking potential. Our team does a general assessment of the area, noting points of interest, viewpoints and archeological sites. We meet with the locals to learn about the trails they frequent and enjoy. We also study satellite images and old maps (if available), searching for unmapped trails. Then comes the best part, we head to the trails and explore, taking in everything that comes on our way. Even in places we know well, there is always something new to discover. It’s this passion for detail and love for hiking that enables us to find hidden gems unknown to tourists, and sometimes even locals! And we love this aspect of the job more than anything.
A few of our favorite trails
Latmos Tribute
Latmos Tribute is a world-class hike so special and packed with history that it deserves to be recognized internationally. In just nine kilometers, you see 8000-year-old neolithic wall paintings, a Byzantine monastery and its colorful frescoes, and impressive Hellenistic ruins, all surrounded by an amazing landscape of boulders, olive trees, and lake views!
Wonderland
Wonderland is highlight as it takes participants deep into a natural world unspoiled by any modern human presence. Looking out from the Çörlenasar fortress feels like going a few million years back in time.
Neighboring Shores
Neighboring Shores is a great hike on the tip of Bozburun Peninsula. What makes this hike special is that there are no roads running to this part of the peninsula. The only way to get there is by boat or your own two feet! Imagine sailing to a 2500 year old fortress, trading the boat for your hiking boots and setting off to discover an abandoned 19th century village. Finish the day heading back down to the sea and cooling off with a swim in a remote bay you’ll have all to yourself.
