Engine rumble, a wash of dust, and the pine-scented breath of the Taurus Mountains: that’s where the jeep drops you. The trail forks into rutted tracks that climb above olive terraces and plunge toward narrow river gorges. Streams dare the jeeps to splash, and the forest opens to a river-side lunch where the water calls you to cool off.

Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails and village walks have loose gravel and uneven stone—sturdy shoes protect your feet on short hikes and riverbanks.
Bring a swimsuit and quick-dry towel
There’s typically a stop at a natural pool or waterfall; a swim is refreshing after dusty jeep rides.
Protect against sun and dust
Sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and a lightweight buff reduce sunburn and keep dust off your face during open-roof sections.
Keep modest clothing for village visits
When entering village homes or mosques, cover shoulders and knees out of respect for local customs.
