Meet our professional trekking guide and driver at your hotel in Antalya and depart for Hisarçandır Village, approximately one hour away. Upon arrival, we begin our walk on a scenic dirt road, following a traditional goat path through Turkish pine forests (Pinus brutia). The trail gradually descends toward a riverbed, creating a spectacular natural setting rich in Mediterranean flora. Along the way, the path is decorated with wild orchids, and we enjoy distant views of a Late Roman fortress perched on a hilltop.

At the river, there is time for a short break and an optional refreshing swim before starting the most challenging section of the trek. We then ascend through oak forests toward Çitdibi Village, where we enjoy a picnic-style lunch surrounded by peaceful rural scenery and local village life.

After lunch, we continue our ascent to the ancient mountain city of Typallia, once an important Lycian garrison settlement and a rural district of the nearby ancient city of Trebenna. According to surface excavations, the earliest settlements in Typallia date back to the 3rd century BC. After exploring the site and learning about its historical significance, we descend back to the village, where our vehicle awaits us, and drive back to Antalya for hotel drop-off, concluding a rewarding trekking experience that perfectly combines nature, history, and adventure.
