Cappadocia: Between Nature and Culture

An iconic postcard image of Turkey, Cappadocia is a magical setting for all kinds of sporting activities. This rocky plateau, composed of volcanic tuff, has been sculpted by erosion, which has erected veritable monuments here. Canyons, fairy chimneys—the atmosphere is almost surreal. This crumbly rock was once carved out and transformed into dwellings and places of worship, sometimes forming authentic cave villages with even real churches, now abandoned.

Hiking or cycling among these various natural towers is a unique experience. Discovering this area, protected by a national park, from the air in a hot air balloon is a must-do. And to top it all off, hospitality is a tradition here, and the local specialties will complete your enchantment: adding a touch of hedonism to your active stay.

Like Greece, Turkey is blessed with stunning coastlines. The Lycian Coast, in particular, is one of the jewels of the Mediterranean. Its other name, the Turquoise Coast, immediately reveals its beauty!

It's an ideal playground for adventure. The waters are warm and clear, perfect for swimming and water sports. Sea kayaking is a joy to behold.

On land, the hinterland is a magnificent playground for hiking amidst nature, villages, and historical sites. Everyone's thirst for sport and cultural discovery will certainly be quenched!
