Handy Things to Know
The following notes are gathered from our own experiences and from feedback sent to us by other hikers. Let us know how we can improve these notes – and thanks!
Water
- There’s a couple of water sources along this section but neither are reliable (though both frequently do have water during much of the year).
Highlights
- Nice coastline scenery is the main highlight along this section.
- There are ruins of a fortress located atop a hill off-route to the S of the trail. You’ll be able to see it in the distance when walking past. Ruins of another fortress is located right on the trail.
Tips
- That nice, packed dirt footpath turns to mud in wet conditions, of course, so allocate extra time in inclement weather.
- Trail signage near Kapaklı can be confusing and sometimes even misleading. Stay alert.
Alerts / Hazards
- While most of the footpath is good quality, there are portions near Kapaklı that are narrow, rocky, and uneven. Watch your footing, especially in wet conditions.
Camping
- There are many nice spots for wild camping along the section. We’ve marked a few; if you spot others that you think we should include please send us details on them.
Amenities
- Most of this section is quite remote but there is a restaurant (which also has camping available) located on an inlet in the middle of nowhere where you can purchase bottled beverages as well as meals.

How You Can Help
Trail research is never actually done. Here’s some of what we’re looking for:
✅ More photos! Ideally with geo-location information in the metadata. In addition to using some photos on Trekopedia, we add them to our internal reference database which significantly helps us with trail research. The more photos, the better! If you are willing to share your collection with us, we’d be incredibly grateful. Let us know and we’ll arrange a transfer.
✅ Points of interest. Help us identify (and geo-locate) accommodations, attractions, restaurants, markets, trail waypoints, confusing or problematic junctions, difficult or hazardous places, water sources, and so on.
✅ Tips & recommendations. Share your thoughts with other hikers.
