As this one week tour unfolds, you will discover the different periods of the Latmos Mountains’ history: on ancient paved roads, in prehistoric caves in gneiss and granite rocks, that were once inhabited by neolithic settlers, where primitive artists did their first paintings on the cave walls; on Tekerlek Dağı, the highest peak of the Latmos (1375 m), which was believed to be the throne of the Weather God, with magnificent views over Lake Bafa all along the trekking trails; and visiting the archaeological remains of the Prehistoric, Neolithic, Archaic, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Seljukian periods.
At the end of each trekking day we will stay in a village house or in tents. Guests  must carry their own packed lunch.
