Mount Nemrut

Eastern camping and glamping

Explore the east of Türkiye, home to dozens of natural wonders and a fantastic destination for camping, glamping, and hiking. Travelers from around the world head to this region to visit Mount Nemrut, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. This extraordinary place hosts the sanctuary of the ancient Kingdom of Commagene, built by King Antiochus I Theos—and Mount Nemrut National Park was created to protect this treasured landmark. Here, campers can admire the massive ancient statues of gods and animals while breathing the fresh air. Another popular spot is the Munzur Valley, where glacial lakes formed by melting snow appear between the stunning Munzur and Mercan mountains. With an altitude of 1,500 meters, this beloved region attracts nature lovers with its majestic beauty.

Anatolia's eastern Black Sea region offers travelers respite in lush forests, clean air, and friendly locals. Take your tent and visit the plateaus and streams, including Ayder Plateau in Rize, Borçka Karagöl Nature Park in Artvin, and Yeri Plateau in Trabzon. In the western Black Sea region, gaze at the greenery surrounding you. In the Yedigöller area of Bolu, forests and lakes make for the perfect camping ground, while Bolu's Abant area offers high mountains ideal for camping and skiing. Lastly, leave some time to explore the region's hidden canyons and the colossal forests of Karabük.

Antalya

Antalya

Looking for some time off in luxury? Antalya has everything you need for a relaxing vacation in the Turkish Riviera. Situated on the Gulf of Antalya, the city is both classically stunning and stylishly modern. In its heart is the meticulously preserved old-city district of Kaleiçi (translates to 'within the castle') which provides atmospheric accommodation in its beautifully restored historical houses.

There are many options for those who wish to camp amongst its hazy-blue mountain silhouettes and clifftop summits. Olympos is a great camping and glamping location known for its ancient city and quiet bays—Çıralı is walking distance from here and is another great spot to pitch a tent. Kaş, a quaint and colorful town near the pristine turquoise sea, is another fantastic option. Lake Salda, a mid-sized crater lake, promises an unparalleled landscape and safe camping grounds. And just a little bit east of Burdur and north of Antalya is Isparta, awaiting campers with a beautiful area in Yazılı Canyon National Park, a historical canyon. Whichever spot you choose, you will find connection and peace with yourself and nature in Türkiye.
