Turkey's Most Extraordinary
Routes — Curated by
a Local Explorer

My name is Kenan Dagitan. For over a decade I have been walking, cycling, and driving Turkey's roads — not the ones in the guidebooks, but the unpaved tracks between villages, the coastal trails the tour buses miss, the mountain passes that only the locals know by name.

kenandagitan began as a notebook: hand-drawn maps, waypoint coordinates scribbled on napkins, notes about which tea-house stays open past sunset. Over time that notebook became a living archive — hundreds of routes documented with honest difficulty ratings, seasonal advice, and the kind of local detail that no algorithm can generate.

There are no sponsored recommendations here. No affiliate hotels, no "best-of" lists paid for by tourism boards. Every route on this site is one I have walked, verified, and written about with a single purpose: to help you experience Turkey the way it actually is — raw, generous, and endlessly surprising.
