Carian Trail Route Updates

The wildfires that began in August 2021 in İçmeler affected most of the forest on the northern side of the Bozburun Peninsula within a few days. Parts of the Gökova region were also badly burned.
Areas of forest that are badly damaged or easy to access are being cut down, while the forest in remote or rocky areas will be left as is.
According to the head of the forestry department, logging is expected to be completed by June of this year. Only after this will we be able to repair and restore our trails.
Until then, the routes listed below will sadly remain closed.
•İçmeler – Turunç – Kumlubük
•Kumlubük – Kızılcaöğütmen – Bayır
•Bayır-Şelale
•Turgut – Orhaniye – Hisarönü
•Bozalan – Gökbel – Çakıllıyalı
•Çakıllıyalı – Kisebükü

Bağırcık – Kapıkırı

A great extent of the waymarks on the route have been damaged (who or why is unknown). For this reason, it’s crucial that hikers using this route follow the GPS coordinates.

Kargıcak – Çomakdağ

Due to road construction on the old stone paved path, the waymarks on the first part have been damaged. Hikers should follow GPS coordinates and trail notes from the guidebook.
