Kabak is a verdant valley that sweeps from the sea and into the Toros mountain range. As well as twice-daily yoga classes we trek through lush Anatolian forests, kick back on empty beaches and enjoy the flora and fauna of this beautiful, undiscovered getaway.

Highlights

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Kabak
Arrive at our Kabak accommodation.

Day 2 - Exploring the Kabak valley
Covered by a forest of pine, palm and apricot trees, Kabak also is lapped by the Aegean Sea, a tranquil, turquoise stretch of water full of hidden beaches and rocky coves. After morning yoga we offer an introductory meander through through Kabak valley, followed by lunch at a open air restaurant. Later we return to our tree-shaded yoga platform followed by dinner under the stars.

Day 3 - Walking the Lycian Way (optional)
The Lycian way, one of Turkey's most famous walking routes, threads through Kabak and into the hills. After this morning's yoga class we offer a half day's walk following this 2500 year old route - passing amid waterfalls, forest and meadows we follow in the footsteps of the Greeks, Romans, Persians all of whom passed this way. We descend with plenty of time to relax before yoga and sunset.

Day 4 & 5– Relaxing in Kabak
Kabak also boasts a lovely beach. Indeed, follow the coast and you arrive at other, even more remote beaches - the whole coastine here is strewn with hidden, deserted treasures. As well as twice daily yoga classes these days are for your personal exploration - or you might like to have a massage and relax.

Day 6 & 7 – Explore the Valley
Set in a protected area, Kabak has avoided large-scale development. Today it's a centre for hikers, climbers and travellers - a uniquely relaxed atmosphere on the Turkish coast. As well as daily yoga classe we offer a selection of optional activities - from paragliding to boat trips, or just kick back for a fruit cocktail or two and improve your suntan.

Day 8 – Holiday ends

What you'll need
For our yoga sessions you'll need loose, comfortable garments; lightweight cottons and linens are ideal. Turkey can be hot: don't forget sunblock, sunglasses, a hat and a sarong. Scarves are great for keeping off the sun and any light chills at night.

Strong shoes are advisable if you wish to go hiking - otherwise sturdy beach footwear is a good idea - Kabak is still very much in its natural state and the walk to the beach can be a little uneven. Also pack: suncream, sunhat, swimwear, mosquito repellent. A snorkel is advised for swimming in the sea.
