Adventure destination
Turkey
Turkey is one of the most varied adventure countries between Europe and Asia, with the Kackars, Taurus, Cappadocia, and Lycian coast giving scope for trekking, high peaks, and ski touring. This works especially well for travelers who want strong mountain scenery and cultural variety, but route quality and logistics vary a lot by region.
