We Took the First Steps on the Keykubad Migration & Caravan Route…

On our journey beginning in Güneycik, the rustling of alder forests and the enchanted arches of Ali Köprüsü (Ali’s Bridge) accompanied us. Lost on ancient paths, we listened to history’s whispers—"Hadrat Ali wove this in a single night"—as legend claims. 🌄 The cryptic stones of Tol Öreni carried the footprints of the Seljuks into our present…

In the embrace of the Taurus Mountains, we became one with nature:

🍃 Beneath thousand-year-old sycamores,
🏞️ Along trails where caravans once marched,
✨ A celestial feast of history unfolded!

"This is no mere route… It’s a living poem where civilizations breathe!"

🌌 Remember: Every step opens a door to legend…

🌲 We Lost Ourselves in the Rhythm of the Forest! | Day 2

A 13 km Fairytale from Aydolin to Güzelbağ…

At dawn, we set off with Aydolin’s cool breath on our backs. Tracing the footsteps of Oghuz nomads on Danışık Hill, the scent of thyme-infused honey from Eğrigöl Plateau drifted into our ears. 🍯 The terraced slopes whispered secrets of a thousand years of farming…

🌄 Tents were pitched as the Taurus Mountains’ evening wrapped itself in the glow of our campfire. 🔥 "Every tale told around this fire carries the voice of a civilization!"

🌿 "Another Day of Whispers from Ancient Stones… | Day 3"

On the morning of our third day, awakened by spring’s fresh breath, we trekked through thyme-scented trails of the Taurus Mountains… We traced Rome’s footsteps along ancient stone-paved paths, passing through flower-strewn forests until we reached Colybrassus—the "Little Hagia Sophia." We listened to the silent stories of sarcophagi and touched the mystery of rock-carved tombs. As evening fell, we rested under the starry skies of Bayırkozağacı.

📸 "Every step is a thousand-year-old tale…"

"These lands still hum with the voices of lost civilizations… Join us at the next stop!" 🏛️✨

🌌 "A Final Step in Pursuit of Millennia-Old Secrets… | Day 4"

At dawn, we set out from the slopes of Bayırkozağacı... Tracing the footsteps of Seljuk caravans, we journeyed along ancient stone roads. In Çukurköy, we listened to villagers' whispers: "The Sultan's treasure lies hidden in these lands!" Crossing Dereköy's stone bridge, the cool waters of Kargı Stream washed away our weariness. By nightfall, we watched the stars twinkle above the ruins of Çonlu Han.

🔥 "History lives not just in stones—but in the song of streams and the glow of stars..."
🗺️ Day 4 Route:

🌅 On the Final Steps of a Thousand-Year Journey… | Day 5

We awoke from the starry night at Çonlu Han… With the cry of "Walk for the Truth!" echoing in our hearts at Mahmud Seydi’s tomb, we drank from the icy fountain waters and reached Kızılalan. We rested under the shade of towering plane trees while savoring the warm gözleme made by village women. In Taşatan Valley, we witnessed the mystery of the Karadelik Cave, then followed the traces of ancient caravans to the blue embrace of the Mediterranean.

🗺️ Day 5 Route: Çoğlu Han → Mahmud Seydi → Kızılalan → Değirmendere | 14 km
🌿 "This path is not just earth—it is the breath of civilizations, the song of water, and the shared story of humanity…"
