Turkey is a country that needs no big introduction for explorers and lovers of dramatic landscapes. Although the city of Istanbul and the coastal regions draw plenty of visitors, Turkey's mountain regions hide a whole host of adventures and breathtaking mountain scenery.
The country is perfect for a first-class adventure trip for the following reasons:
One of Turkey's best-known mountain regions is without doubt the Taurus Mountains. They stretch along the southern coast and provide an impressive backdrop for mountain sports such as hiking, climbing, skiing and mountaineering. The Taurus Mountains are known for their majestic peaks, deep gorges and crystal-clear lakes, which make the perfect setting for adventures of every kind.
Besides the Taurus Mountains, Mount Ararat is one of the country's most impressive (and highest) mountains. At 5137 m, Mount Ararat is a fascinating goal for experienced mountaineers. It's also often regarded as the resting place of Noah's Ark.
Besides Mount Ararat, there are other important mountains in Turkey for you to explore: Uludağ near Bursa with its skiing opportunities, Palandöken near Erzurum, Kaçkar Dağları National Park in north-eastern Turkey and Ala Dağları National Park in Central Anatolia. All of them are ideal places to go hiking, spend days climbing or even tackle serious ice climbing routes.
In Turkey you'll also find an exciting, lively and colourful culture that warmly invites you to visit. And last but not least, you'll experience a whole host of natural wonders and biodiversity in Turkey. There are opportunities to explore in abundance: unique trips are waiting for fit adventurers of every experience level.
Come along and see for yourself how many opportunities the Turkish mountains offer for active challenges of every kind.
