Turkey -wooded campsites?

In relatively coastal areas either north, south or west.

I prefer not to camp in full sun or under scrubby little trees with only partial shade.

Thank you!

I should have said campsites that have trees with lots of shade.

Anywhere on any coast.

Hey Arow,

I remember this place "olympos" from my trip to turkey:

Olympos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[url=http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/go/med/olimpos/]Olimpos &

http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/go/med/olimpos/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhhCPbhvPI8

I stayed in: zeus pansiyon olympos
(one of the oldest, you will find more pics on facebook and information on lonly planet))

another one:
http://www.olymposturkmentreehouses.com

pro:
- olympos is a nice place to relax and with a nice beach
- good food, you can have your room with food in the evenings and coffee and tea at daytime
(sounds first strange for us: but usually they make a good homemade kitchen.)
- you find travellers from every nation to talk in the evenings (backpackers)
- i think its wort to stay2-3 nights to relax after a longer trip
- friendly people (like almost all the places i visited in turkey)

cons
- getting more and more buisy
- at the weekends a litlle buisy with tourists
- i can't recommend for 5 stars travellers.

But be carefull with in the evnings ...
you have to be able to find the way up yourself. (tree-houses)

Thanks motravel, I'll check that out on my next trip.

Other circumstances have prevented me from getting to Turkey this time.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
