A short but very pleasant route before starting the day or at the end of the day. We enter the forest 500 metres after the fountain in front of Troia Tusan Hotel. The first ascent is moderately steep, then a magnificent path in nature awaits you. While you walk in the silence of nature, bird sounds and impressive vegetation, you will see the magnificent panoramic view of the Dardanelles, Abide, Aegean, Gökçeada. The route starts with the same route as the tour we did on Route -1 and after 1 km we follow the path to the top of the hill. At the turning point of the path, we climb 300 metres to the top of the hill and witness the magnificent Bosphorus and nature view.
If you want to perform a little more, you can also walk the track as 2 laps. While resting on the path after the first ascent, you can run briskly on the asphalt that will emerge afterwards, 1.5 km from Troia Tusan Hotel.

#5 Nature, History, Mystery

Approximately 2 km of the route is a flat road and 6 km of the route is an ideal 2-hour performance track in the heart of nature with an extraordinary landscape and vegetation. The only pointless place on the route is the short motorway side walk of about 300 mt from the side of the main road of Izmir to the turn of Turgut Reis Bastion. After returning from the Turgut Reis Bastion sign, we walk about 3 km upwards, and on the return we walk 3 km down and straight. Our highest altitude on this route is 161 metres. Examine the huge and impressive Turgut Reis Gun batteries and positions built by Field Marshal Fevzi Çakmak between 1938-40 on our route. The extraordinary Dardanelles and a magnificent nature will always accompany you on the ascending path. It is recommended that you wear shoes with a collar, long clothes that cover your legs and take 0.5 litres of water with you.

#6 Beyond the limits in Nature

With this route, we will push our physical limits a little bit on a magnificent track in nature. Our starting point is in front of Troia Tusan Hotel, from the start we follow for Routes 1 and 4, we go up the steep path. From the side of the small summit we followed in Route 4, we continue towards Izmir asphalt from the road used as the old Izmir road, now covered by vegetation. The extraordinary landscape and vegetation accompany us along the way. When we reach the Izmir road, we walk from the side of the main road to reach the path on the other side of the road. Following our route, we continue upwards past the overgrown pine saplings planted with the names of our martyrs. At the end of the road we come to the end of a hill. We carefully descend down a steep slope in the south-west direction of the hill into the valley, then follow the path. The vegetation is again very impressive. On this route, we encountered a deer at a distant point. From the many broken bushes and branches on the path, we realised that a herd of wild animals had recently passed through here and concentrated on the surroundings. After continuing upwards on a slight slope, we reach a very pleasant path. The path brings us back to Izmir asphalt. Afterwards, we return to our starting point through the pleasant streets of Güzelyalı. Advice: Take long clothes that cover your legs, shoes with a neck, water and a baton if possible.

#7 Peak Performance

We reach a height of 127 metres on this track of medium difficulty. Approximately 1.5 km of continuous ascent and 1.5 km of descent on the return is a track experience with a magnificent view. All the colours of nature and the extraordinary Bosphorus view are always with you. This route can be combined with the existing route 1 or 4.
