Nature Retreats in Turkey — Air, Water, Quiet

Some days should feel like a deep breath.
Cold rivers, pine shade, warm springs, wide views.
With Holitat, nature days are simple: short drives, clear timing, local hosts, room to slow down.

Tell us what you need—wellness, forest walks, sea-and-hike, or a quiet base—and we’ll shape it to your pace.

Wellness Retreats — reset, then wander

• Yalova & Termal: natural hot springs, hammam rituals, garden hotels; easy ferry back to Istanbul.

• Sapanca & Maşukiye: lake paths, light yoga on the grass, forest cafés; calm weekend energy.

• Aegean wellness days (Urla, Çeşme–Alaçatı): sea air, olive groves, slow lunches, sunset stretches.

• Antalya coast: seaside walks at dawn, spa time, a warm swim when the water shines.

We keep sessions short, hosts kind, and schedules open—rest first, plans second.

Black Sea Nature Tours — green in every direction

• Rize & Çamlıhemşin: tea terraces, wooden bridges, loud rivers; easy highland (yayla) loops to Pokut or Sal.

• Uzungöl: lake circuits and balcony views; quiet evenings.

• Artvin & Macahel: chestnut forests, stone bridges, big skies.

• Ordu–Giresun: softer hills, coast walks, hazelnut orchards.

We time drives for daylight and build in waterfall stops you can actually sit with.

Lycian Coast — sea air and light hiking

• Faralya & Kabak: cliff paths, tiny coves, long swims.

• Kaş & Kalkan: morning boat to quiet water; ridge walk on the Lycian Way, meze at dusk.

• Patara: dunes at golden hour; wide beach, easy steps.

Short sections, early starts, transfers lined up—no rush, no long climbs unless you want them.

Lakes, plateaus, and easy mountains

• Cappadocia: soft-valley walks (Rose/Red, Ihlara) with shade and views.

• Lake Tuz: mirror-flat on still days; simple, striking stop.

• Taurus foothills (Fethiye–Seki, Gömbe): cool air, cedar forests, quiet villages.

Pick one base and add gentle loops; it keeps energy high and packing low.

How a Holitat nature day runs

1. You tell us the feel: spa & springs, forest & water, sea & hike.

2. We set it up: start times, transfers, local hosts, gear, simple food stops.

3. You move lightly: sit longer where it’s good; skip what doesn’t call you.

4. We backstop: steady drivers, safe trails, weather-aware timing, small fixes done fast.

Our partners are people we know from years on the ground—reliable, friendly, not pushy.

When to go

• April–June & Sep–Nov: best for coast walks and Black Sea greens.

• July–August: go early, shade at noon, water later.

• Winter: hammams, hot springs, museum afternoons; Black Sea highlands can snow in season.

Bring: comfortable shoes, a light layer, water, and curiosity. We handle the rest.

Where you’ll stay

• Boutique stays close to trails or coves.

• Apartments for a simple, local base.

• Country lodges by lakes or in the hills—quiet nights, long breakfasts.

Tell us your must-haves—steps or elevator, kid needs, silence after 10 pm—and we’ll send a short, honest list.
