Mark your calendar for an information session about trekking in Turkey, at 7pm on Friday September 19, 2014 at the Mountaineers Seattle Program Center.
Many think of Turkey for great Greek ruins and its fascinating cultural blend of east and west, of antiquity and modernity. In recent years it has also become an exciting, unique trekking destination, with easily scaled peaks, well developed trails and vast views - some over the turquoise Mediterranean, some over ancient trade routes and wild high plains and mountains, some over the Black Sea. Welcoming energetic people, village hospitality and fantastic local food are the norm, as well as great transport and support infrastructure. And people who trek in Turkey now find trails and locales that few have yet discovered, along with ruins and precious antiquities waiting all along the trail.
Come to an informational evening to learn about trekking options in Turkey including a 2015 Mountaineers Global Adventure that marries the best of the country's historical and cultural destinations with an exciting, fully supported trek.
