Overview

Found in the south-west of Turkey, along the Aegean coast is the Carian Trail tour that leads you through a magnificent coastal landscape that is divided into many smaller and larger peninsulas, islands and bays. Walk in thick, green forests and wonder at the glowing white rocks that rise above the sea.

On the Carian Trail, you will get to experience an interplay of land and sea, thousand-metre-high cliffs and lovely secluded bays inviting you for a swim.

At the quiet village of Turgut, the Carian Trail will take you across olive groves and through forested slopes to the ruins of the ancient city of Hydas, which is found on a narrow ridge. Travel through a spectacular landscape over a high plateau, and you will hike up to a mountain saddle where you can enjoy the fantastic view of a turquoise bay with small islands. You will also stop at the ruins of the ancient city of Amos that has an ancient Greek amphitheatre that offers magnificent views of the Bay of Marmaris.
