La carretera

Esta ruta nos lleva desde Ovacık hasta la cima del monte Sarıçınar a una altitud de 1.793 metros. Sin embargo, ¡nuestro objetivo no es apresurarnos hacia nuestro destino final!

This route takes us from Ovacık to the peak of Mount Sarıçınar at an altitude of 1,793 meters. However, our goal is not to rush to our final destination! The cedar forests we’ll encounter will invite us to take a break. Apart from the cedars, peanies, an endemic species, are another good reason to stop.

Vamos a ganar algo de altura, pero no será demasiado desafiante, ¡incluso para los aficionados! Cuando llegamos a Çıralı, nos esperan dos regalos: el agua de manantial helada y limpia de la antigua ciudad del Olimpo, y una playa tranquila y silenciosa.
