Up to Mountains is a community for people who love adventures and small-scale hikes. We explore favorite routes not far from Antalya, including the Lycian Way, the St. Paul Trail, and other mountain-and-sea paths and roads. Most of our routes are easygoing, designed so that in a single day you can get pleasantly tired, meet new people, and see something beautiful.
This is not a commercial project. Up to Mountains grew out of a simple desire to gather people who enjoy this kind of format: getting up in the morning, packing some water, and going out to look for adventure on the climbs while helping one another along the way.
Over time, we have already completed dozens of routes, from short scenic walks to energetic full-day hikes with solid elevation gain. For those who want to start as comfortably as possible, we have a tried-and-tested “starter” location: Tunektepe. It is close to the city, has an easy-to-follow trail, and offers great panoramic views of the coast and Antalya.
It is an excellent option for beginners and for anyone who has not been out into the mountains for a while: you can ease into the rhythm, find your pace, get to know the group, and realize that hiking is genuinely exciting and not nearly as difficult as it may seem.
