Sports You can do some good trekking in central Turkey. Especially Cappadocia is really marvellous, but there are also some mountain treks to be done. The first Turkish long distance walking path is scheduled to open around December 1998 between Antalya and Fethiye. The whole trip would take 40 days, but you can do it in parts. Good trekking is in Kackar Mountains near Trabzon.
Northern side is quite wet and lush, but southern slopes are rather dry.
On northern side is lot of termal springs, southern has lot of georgian old churches. Overcrossing of main mountain range is possibl and takes about three days. Telephone Telephoning abroad is easy and cheap. With this card, you can phone from almost any public telephone. In Eastern Turkey however, I didn't manage to get a connection abroad.
