Walking the Turquoise Coast

We enjoyed walks with amazing views and lovely beaches. They were, though, different to and harder than on the itinerary/trip notes eg the first day 'walk through olive groves' includes and a cliff edge section needing you to use a rope! However when Alper, our leader, realised that the new itinerary, that included a 14km walk, was not going to suit our very diverse group he worked hard to change it to include everyone. Kas is a lovely town with interesting shops and food and still busy in October. Hotel Artemis was good, especially the breakfasts and views from the roof top breakfast room. Alper organised excellent meals for us each night, including one where we sat just a metre from the sea. The group of 15 all got on well.

What a fantastic trip! It was my first experience of Exodus and I would definitely use the company again. The days' activities were always well organised, enjoyable and interesting.

An excellent, varied, well organised and fun trip in beautiful Kas. This was our first time with Exodus and experiencing a walking holiday - and we enjoyed every moment of it from the stunning scenery, amazing walks, wonderful swimming and fantastic food.

The group were very friendly and the hotel was great. Clean, modern, good location and a lovely pool. The guide was a good host and organised lovely restaurants every evening for us all. The walks however were not as advertised as some of the tracks are apparently now closed. The replacement walks were very challenging, steep ascents and descents on scree paths and rocky tracks sheer drops. The itinerary stated the longest walk was 8 k but it was actually 14k . One walk involved scrambling across a rocky path with a rope bridge and another bouldering across a cliff face with a steep drop. Not the leisurely walking detailed in the trip notes. and far too challenging for some group members The trip is graded 2 but was more challenging than the grade 3 trip I did before. The notes also do not indicate that there will be charges for the kayaking trip and lunch on the Arycanda trip. The trip is run by a local travel company and there is a definite disconnect between what is advertised and what you get. It is a great trip in a lovely location for someone who is fit and OK with heights but not the leisurely trip advertised

Had a lovely trip with a very friendly and welcoming group. Our tour guide was lovely and made some great restaurant bookings for us including one meal right on the beach with the waves crashing! The sea kayaking was the highlight for me, lovely to be out on the water , though it is surprisingly hard work! The hotel Artemis we stayed at was very nice , clean modern rooms, lovely breakfast with amazing views, though getting a drink from the hotel bar was challenging at times!! My only criticism is the walks, they were much harder than leisurely/moderate , some of the walks on the itinerary had to be changed as paths were closed which is fine and unavoidable but the replacements were often on steep scree slopes and involved clambering over large rocks at times , some of the group found this v challenging especially with the heat! If these walks are to be kept then this trip needs to be upgraded in difficulty so people are aware what they will be facing. Turkey is beautiful though and thoroughly enjoyed my time here :)

A great choice for a last grab of sunshine before entering the English winter. Beautiful scenery, undemanding walks, great food and surprisingly good wine (Turkish wine was a revelation).

Our group was a mixture of couples and singles .we appreciated our guide taking us to his choice of restaurantsin the evenings ,and apart from One we had excellent service . The supper and boat trip on last evening was great fun especially seeing turtles

Lovely scenery and excellent guide. Unfortunately, the walks were not those mentioned in the itinerary but were however interesting but much more challenging in places for what some of us would describe as leisurely. The only meals included in the package were the breakfasts, one of which we missed due to early start for an event and the second because of having to leave for the airport. Not a big issue but would have been nice to have been offered even a roll. The Sea Kayaking is a must, so enjoyable and the walk through the forest after the visit to Arykanda was an excellent day. Guide was so helpful and accommodating, full marks to him.

Great holiday, moderate activity, lovely group and fantastic scenery!

Good, relaxing, well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. Less energetic than other "moderate" walking holidays I have been on.
