Turkey Walking Trips

203 reviews on bookmundi

From a free walking tour of Istanbul to a multi-day adventure along the beautiful Lycian Way, Turkey walking tours are ideal for exploring the country’s popular sites and attractions on foot. Book a trip to Cappadocia if you are interested in checking out striking landscapes, intricate rock formations and fairy chimneys. Stroll through charming villages, listen to folklore and legends and marvel at ancient human engineering by discovering underground cities such as Derinkuyu. For a walking tour that features adventure and history, head to Ephesus. From cultural walking tours around Ephesus to more mountainous hikes in Mount Ararat, there are plenty of routes to suit every fitness level and duration.

Turkey Walking Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Walking Turkey tours

This was my first organised hiking tour and I was not disappointed! Ryman our guide was simply excellent. She kept the group together and pulled everyone and everything together perfectly. Accomodation far exceeded my expectations. All in all the trip was excellent value for money. One downside though. The guides could be paid much better as they give such a great service!

The World Expeditions team made our Turkey Adventure holiday an amazing and immersive experience. The combination of history, culture, natural beauty and cuisine made the holiday memorable. So grateful to Suat and Recep in particular - what a team!

Itinerary is good except that it would be good to have one more day at Istanbul. Tour guide and the driver are helpful , knowledgeable and the tour guide Suat is delightful to deal with.

Another great holiday with Explore on the Turquiose Coast. Zep, our guide, was exceptional and was great fun, albeit attentive to each individual's needs. The Hideaway Hotel in Kas was a perfect base for our daily walks along a stunning area of natural beauty. Swimmers were in their seventh heaven at all the beaches we visited! Highly recommended - our weeks stay ended far too quickly!

This was my first Explore trip and I didn’t know what to expect. I always travel on my own so I was a little nervous about travelling in a group with people that I didn’t know but I need not have worried as the trip was amazing and I had a great time! I had no idea if I would be able to keep up with the group (of 6 plus the guide) or if my fitness levels were good enough so, although the walks were challenging at times it was just the right balance and the harder parts (scrambling up steep hills, along narrow ledges with rope to guide or on rocky paths) were intense but totally manageable and I enjoyed the challenge and felt a great sense of achievement. I found the itinerary to be a good mix: from walking through beautiful pine forests, up mountains, along the coast, being able to swim in the most gorgeous turquoise blue sea to visiting some ancient sites and open air museums such as Patara and Myra and we enjoyed having lunch with a local family. Turkey really is a beautiful country and even more-so in spring when the temperature was perfect, all the spring flowers were out and everywhere was lush and green. We were in safe hands with our amazing guide Alper, he was so calm and generous and walked at just the right pace that suited us all. We stayed in the cute Hideaway Hotel in Kas, the staff were great and the rooms were clean and comfy, the breakfast in the lovely breakfast room was very good with plenty to choose from. Kas itself is a lovely little town with loads of great restaurants and the food was very good. I would highly recommend this tour and Im so glad I did it as it was just enough (for me anyway) as I wasn’t too tired and could also enjoy some quiet time after the walks, we were usually out about 5-6 hours a day which was 3-4 hours of walking, plus travel time and a swim so just perfect for us. Thank you!

Rugged terrain with breathtaking views. Great variety in each day’s walk. The accommodation was perfect. Spacious room with annexe, as well as balconies. Fridge always welcome. The staff were wonderful and breakfast selection fresh and varied each and every morning. Our guide for the week was Zeynep. She has such a cheerful character, it is infectious. Great positive energy and loved by all. She shared history about each area we visited in a fun and informative way. She was attentive and helpful each and every day. A real credit to your organisation.

Turkey Walking Tours

Highlights of Turkey Walking Tours

  • Many hotels and tour guides run free walking tours for new tourists, and you only have to tip your guide at the end. It’s definitely a cost-effective way of getting your bearings in a new city.
  • The Lycian Way hike is probably the most famous walking tour in Turkey and connects 25 archeological sites along the way.
  • Turkey Walking tours are a great way to meet and interact with local people and see the country from their lens. They can even lend you valuable tips or direct you to great locations for food and sightseeing where regular tourists don’t visit.
  • Both the Carian Trail and the Lycian Way snake their way around the Mediterranean coastline, rewarding you with panoramic views across the water and into Europe.

Travel Tips for Walking Tours in Turkey

  • Take a walking food tour on the eastern side of Istanbul. There are so many food-based walking tours in Istanbul, but we recommend the Kadikoy neighborhood on the Asian side of the city for fantastic lamb kebabs, stuffed mussels, and more.
  • Find a free walking tour in major cities like Istanbul when you arrive. This is the most affordable way to explore major sites like the Grand Bazaar without getting lost.
  • Join a group or guided Turkey walking tour, especially if you are doing a long-distance trail like the Lycian Way, for safety and convenience. Group tours come with pre-arranged itineraries and accommodations.
  • Avoid walking tours in the summer months. Turkish summers are unreasonably hot and humid, often getting over 40°C. Opt for spring or autumn seasons instead.
  • Outside of the major cities and tourist resorts, ATMs are few and far between, so make sure to carry cash if you are venturing away from cities and tourist hotbeds.
  • Ensure that you bring clothing that can cover your head, shoulders, and knees while on a multi-day walking tour. Even though it can be hot in Turkey, it’s still a predominantly Muslim country where modesty is prized, so be respectful even if it does mean adding more layers.
