Greece and Turkey July/Aug2021
 

Hello all!

I'm seeking advices for my next trip: i will cross Greece to reach Istanbul and, in a second moment, Kappadocia (Goreme is the destination). Coming back, I would like to see Konya, Pamukkale and most of the Aegian Sea saeside heading north, toward Canakkale. Then, back to Greece again and home (Italy by ferry).

I'm looking for advices concerning roads or places to see away from the mass tourism (the famous "hidden spots" that we all love). Furthermore, has anyone any type of experience about wild camping in these 2 countries? (tent + motorbike)
If someone is interested to join, I will go probably on July, from the 14th to the 30th.

Thanks a lot!! drive safe!! :mchappy:

I added this wild camping spot to ioverlander
At Goreme, it is right in the middle of the formations and also in the middle of the balloon launch site

Just out of Goreme. There were two bikers camped close by when we were there

I had a copy of an official goverment publication stating that the whole of Turkey could be regarded as a wild camping spot. We found that to be correct

2 weeks eh? We spent closer to 3 months going from Germany to Turkey - big figure 8 covering the whole country - and back to germany

Couple of years later we went to Greece - also for about 3 months. We were there in the off-season so wild camping was easy, but I gather the police are much more motivated by campground owners to make it hard for wild campers.

Obviously we were in a motorhome so your experience will vary

Go North from Goreme to Erzerum then stunning road down to Trebizond and back towards Istanbul on the old road that hugs the Black Sea.
