Itinerary

What to expect

DAY 1

Transfer. HIKE Sakarkaya – Bagarcik (13.5 km +505m -485m)

The transfer will meet you at Bodrum/Milas Airport to take you to the beginning of the walk (50 min). This route takes participants to one of Turkey’s most underrated, hidden gems: the northern slopes of Mt. Latmos. You’ll hike along stone-paved ancient trails through a landscape of moss-covered boulders and umbrella-shaped nut pines. A highlight of this hike is the view from the top of the Çörlenasar Fortress. 

Dinner & Overnight in a Village House in Bagarcik.

DAY 2

HIKE BAĞARCIK – KAPIKIRI (18.5 KM +535 M -1350 M)

The path goes up to a pass with amazing views of the endless pine nut trees scattered through shimmering boulders. From this point on the trail partially follows an ancient trail that was built by one of the commanders of Alexander the Great. The long day ends as you descend down to the lake side by Kapıkırı village.

Dinner & Overnight in Agora Pansiyon, Kapıkırı 

DAY 3

Transfer. HIKE Karahayit – Kapıkırı (9 km +289m -499m).

A short transfer takes you to Karahayıt village. This is one of the best hiking trails on not only the Carian Trail, but in all of Turkey. The undulating trail passes by neolithic wall paintings, Byzantine frescoes, and Hellenistic ruins before descending across from beautiful lake views through more ancient ruins straight to your hotel in Kapikiri. 

Dinner and Overnight in Agora Pension, Kapıkırı

DAY 4

Transfer. HIKE Sarıkaya – Çomakdağ (9 km +347m -420m)

A 50 minute drive takes you to the trailhead. Starting from Sarıkaya village, the route follows a stone laid path through olive groves. En route you also pass by the authentic villages of Gökseki, Ketendere, and Çomakdağ; keep an eye out for their wonderful traditional houses! From here, a 40 minute transfer returns you to the airport. 

NOTE. It is possible to arrange a transfer to Selcuk/Ephesus for an extra charge instead of Bodrum Airport.
