We depart Sofia on a morning flight to Kayseri via
Istanbul. Upon arrival, we transfer to Göreme, the
heart of Cappadocia and our base for the next
two nights. After settling into our
accommodation, we head out on an introductory
walk through nearby valleys. This first hike offers
a grounding introduction to Cappadocia’s
extraordinary terrain—volcanic ridges, carved
rock dwellings, and wide views across the
plateau shaped by both geology and centuries of human settlement.

Meals: Breakfast at Kapri Hotel in Sofia

Hike: Walk in the town of Goreme

​After breakfast, we explore Antalya’s Old Town on foot,
walking its narrow streets and harbor-front before
transferring to the Olympos Teleferik. A cable car carries
us to the summit of Mount Tahtalı (2,366 m / 7,762 ft),
where we begin a long descent on foot. The trail winds
through cedar forest and mountain terrain to the village of
Beycik, offering a striking transition from high alpine
landscapes toward the coast.
From Beycik, we continue by vehicle to Demre to visit the
ancient city of Myra. Here, we explore Lycian rock tombs
carved into steep cliffs and a remarkably preserved
Roman theater, connecting the day’s landscapes to deep
layers of history. We end the day in the small seaside village of Kaleüçağız.

Meals: Breakfast | Dinner

Hike: Approx 9-10km

We depart Kaş in the morning and transfer to Antalya (approximately 3.5 hours). After
some free time, we transfer to the airport for afternoon or evening flights to Istanbul,
concluding the journey. Please book your travel out of Antalya after 3pm.

Meals: Breakfast 

Today we spend the day hiking through some
of Cappadocia’s most iconic landscapes. Our
route follows historic footpaths through
Pigeon Valley toward Uçhisar, where we
explore the fortress ruins and take in
sweeping views over the surrounding valleys.
Along the way, we encounter rock formations
and cave dwellings that reveal how people
have adapted to and shaped this environment
over thousands of years.

Meals: Breakfast at hotel

Hike:  Approximately 12-15 km

Today we take to the water to explore the
Kekova region by boat. We glide over the
submerged ruins of the sunken city,
gaining perspective on how coastlines and
settlements have shifted over time. There
is time for swimming in clear turquoise
waters before landing near Simena Castle.
From Simena and after lunch, we hike
back to Kaleüçağız along a scenic coastal
path, passing olive groves, stone houses,
and small inlets. The afternoon and
evening are spent back at our guesthouse, sharing another meal overlooking the sea.

Meals: Breakfast | Dinner

Hike: Roughly 2-3 hours

This morning, we hike to the Göreme Open-Air
Museum for a guided visit of its rock-cut
churches and frescoes, gaining insight into
the region’s monastic history and spiritual life.
After returning to the hotel and checking out,
the afternoon offers time for a short local
walk or a visit to Avanos, a town known for its
long-standing pottery traditions. In the
evening, we transfer to Kayseri Airport for a
late flight to Antalya.

Meals: Breakfast 

Hike: Approx. 6-8km

A short transfer brings us to the
village of Boğazcık, where we begin
hiking a beautiful stretch of the
Lycian Way. The trail follows the
coastline toward Limanağzı Beach,
offering expansive views of the
Mediterranean and a sense of
walking along an ancient route once
used by traders and travelers
moving between coastal ancient
settlements.
From the beach, we take a small
boat into Kaş, entering the harbor
from the sea. The afternoon is free to explore Kaş on foot, with time to wander the
harbor, cafés, and narrow streets of this lively coastal town.

Meals: Breakfast

Hike: 10-12
