Hiking is a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails-footpaths, in the countryside. Many people enjoy hiking...some of them prefer it for the exersice and some of them for admiring new beautiful places and views.
Below there is a list with some famous and lovely paths for hiking in Turkey:
The Lycian Way
Steep mountains rise from a wooded shore intercepted by small bays along this 509km route from Fethiye to Antalya, which gets more difficult and steeply inclined as you go along. Stop in pensions and hotels in Patara (and admire its 12km beach), Kalkan, Kas (great views), Myra, Finike (with its ridge walk), Adrasan, Olympos (climb Mount Olympos), Cirali and Tekirova along the way, or camp
Independence Trail
The short Istiklal (Independence) Trail, close to the Black Sea in northern Turkey, follows the undulating and remote route used by liberating armies during Turkey's war of independence in 1919, from Inebolu to Kastamonu. ( Best period to visit Mar–Oct )
St Paul Trail
The St Paul Trail runs on spectacular paths in the high Taurus mountains and, across 500km, connects Roman cities which St Paul visited in south-central Turkey, between the ancient sites of Perge and Aspendos to Yalvaç. ( Best period to visit April–July and Sept–Nov )
The Kaçkar Trails
In north-east Turkey, between Çamlihemsin and Yusufeli, the Kaçkar trails are a network of paths through the mountains, some criss-crossing the mighty glaciated Kaçkar range at heights of up to nearly 4,000m, others climbing from traditional villages to summer pastures. ( Best period to visit July–Sept )
Yenice Forest Trail
The newest network, the Yenice Forest trails in north Turkey, is contained within the huge expanse of Yenice, a mature woodland with a huge variety of trees on rolling countryside cut by small canyons. The trails are suitable for biking and horse-riding as well as walking. Easily accessible from Istanbul and Ankara, Yenice Forest is close to the historic town of Safranbolu. This traditional town of stone and timber houses, centre of the saffron crocus harvest, is an excellent base for excursions through the forest; the two are connected by a short journey on a steam train
