Camping in Turkey

Adventures in Turkey: camping between the coast and the mountains

Turkey is a country full of variety and contrasts, from the sun-kissed beaches of the Aegean to the imposing peaks of the Taurus Mountains. For camping enthusiasts, Turkey offers a unique opportunity to experience nature up close and discover the beauty of the country off the beaten track.

Important camping rules in Turkey

Officially, wild camping is not permitted in Turkey. It is advisable to always go to an official campsite or ask the landowner for permission.
Respect local traditions and customs, especially in rural areas and near villages.
Avoid littering and do not leave any rubbish behind. Use the rubbish bins provided or take your rubbish with you.
Open fires are strictly prohibited in many regions, especially in wooded areas, to prevent forest fires. Only use designated fireplaces.

In remote areas, it is advisable to take enough drinking water with you or to use a reliable filter system for water from natural sources.
The sun can be very strong in Turkey, especially in summer. Good sun protection, hats and sun cream are essential to avoid sunburn and heatstroke.
Take the opportunity to buy fresh and local food, whether at weekly markets or in small shops near your campsite. Turkish cuisine is rich and varied, and it is worth sampling regional specialities.

Did you know that in Switzerland, the only option for using the motorways is an annual vignette?

This unique approach ensures that all vehicles on Swiss roads contribute to maintaining the country’s pristine infrastructure.

So, whether you’re planning a scenic drive or simply passing through, make sure you’re prepared with the Swiss vignette for a smooth journey. 🚗🏔️
