Light Hiking in Kemer: Çalıştepe and a Few Bonus Hills

If you’re in Kemer and craving a quick nature escape, there’s an awesome hiking route just a couple of kilometers from the center. Your main goal is Çalıştepe (318 m), the tallest hill in the area. You really can’t miss it—it’s easily visible from town, thanks to the big steel communication tower and the Turkish flag waving next to it. Getting to the top is quite easy. You can follow a marked trail or take a dirt road on the other side. If it’s hot out, be sure to pack some water—there’s nowhere to grab any at the top. Once you’ve enjoyed the views from Çalıştepe, why stop there? Keep going and explore three smaller hills nearby: First hill (205 m): 36.584706, 30.558463 Second hill (195 m): 36.587937, 30.554396 Third hill (165 m): 36.592102, 30.554783 The trails between them are marked, so you won’t get lost. After you’ve conquered all four, you can loop back into town. The whole hike is about 11 km and should take around 2-3 hours depending on your pace. Even though these hills aren’t super tall, the views are great. Along the way, you’ll find several viewpoints where you can take in Kemer, the sea, and the mountains in the distance. It’s a laid-back, rewarding hike that’s perfect for a half-day adventure.#localguides #kemer #hike #hiking #kemerhike #hikingadventures
