Hiking has arrived to Alanya, and will stay here!<br />

Last Saturday we left from Alanya with 36 persons<br />

group. We did drive with bus 1,5 hours<br />

to Akseki area. Bus left us in small village, we<br />

started ours walking from there towards to Taurus<br />

mountain. You can just admire spring time<br />

in Turkey, green fields with hundreds of trees<br />

full of flowers!<br />

We started to clime mountain slope along the<br />

curving path, it was like 4 km long, until we<br />

came to top. It was in 1200 m, the view was incredible.<br />

Huge mountains everywhere and deep<br />

deep valleys between them, ah so beautiful!<br />

Sometimes the path was difficult to detect, but<br />

many thousand years traders and camel caravans<br />

has used it.<br />

After 4 hours hiking we came near Minareli village,<br />

and we stop there in corner of field. There<br />

we enjoyed our lunch, what we all has in our<br />

back bags. Water is very important also, yes its<br />

heavy but within day back bag is coming lighter.<br />

Village was like we have use time machine and<br />

went back hundreds years. Houses was made<br />

of stones and woods.Beautiful balconies and<br />

delightful door, cows in fields, birds were singing<br />

in the trees. Life with out noise and stress!<br />

After the lunch we hiked back to bus and trip<br />

continued to Altınbeşik cave. Before cave bus<br />

stopped and we walked 3 km to the cave.<br />

Totally unbelievable place! Cave is in national<br />

park area and you can go inside the cave<br />

with rubber boat. Guide who came with us<br />

told as facts of the cave. Water was emerald<br />

green, and very cold. End of the cave there<br />

was beautiful waterfall and caves walls was<br />

from limestone.<br />

There is different kind of difficulty levels in<br />

hiking tour, this ours was like middle one.<br />

We hiked about 10 km. It was challenging<br />

because of up hill walk. Hills made our group<br />

to stretch into long queue. But there is also<br />

easy hiking where are used small roads in<br />

flat areas.<br />

i recommend everybody to try these hiking<br />

tours. Alanya and areas near by are full<br />

of historic places and incredible miracles of<br />

nature. Hiking tours are not expensive, this<br />

tour was 60 tl. Every week they are doing two<br />

day tour trip and sometimes also weekend<br />

hiking trips.<br />
