Read with your device’s voice.
The Taurus foothills are a regional landscape to explore through existing permitted roads. The driving stops finish in the cave region. Arrange Dedegöl as a separate mountain hike with a suitable trailhead and guide.
Check land access and current restrictions locally. A capable vehicle does not establish permission to cross forest or agricultural land.
Find each stop on the map. Use directions links and local signs to travel between stops.
Regional stops need a vehicle or an arranged transfer. Directions lead towards the mapped area; parking, the entrance and the final approach on foot still need to be checked locally. Allow time for visits, food and the return in addition to driving.
Distances show straight-line separation between map pins. Use directions for road and trail distances; allow extra time for visits and the return journey.
Open directions between stops and follow local signs.
Slow down among shores, islands and changing light.
