The Walk( Akdeniz)
 

From Schoolhouse walk S into the village past the mosque on your R and at the Sport Club turn L, following signs to the Beach/ Plaj. The track is sandy and leads into the pine forest. Follow 'Plaj' signs and turn R at the main junction (1) continuing Until you reach the beach ( Halk Plaj) (2)

From The Halk Plaji, head S along the beach keeping close to the sea. You will eventually pass 2 concrete bunkers( pill boxes) ( 1hr 10 mins) the second of which has a red S painted on it (3). shortly after you will notice a conglomerate out crop into the sea. At a pile of stones/shingle (4 ), turn L and head inland on an easily discernible track which soon turns L through sand dunes. You will reach a small copse of eucalyptus trees. To your L is a line of Bamboo ( 5) - Follow this line and you come to another track,(6)

(1 hr 40 mins) Turn R and follow this track which crosses a small valley, ( 7), keeping the rusty bed on your R!

Once on level ground leave the track ( 8) and turn R along a dry valley. On your L you will notice 2 concrete pillars ( trig. points). Head for the second of these ( 9), make a U turn up the hill and you are now high above the beach you previously walked along( 2 hrs).

Continue along this track until you meet the track back to the beach ( 10)
