The climbing paradise near Antalya
Rock Climbing in Geyikbayiri
The best place to go sport climbing in Turkey is undoubtedly Antalya and in particular the crags of Geyikbayiri. Geyikbayiri is the largest sport climbing area in Turkey with well over 1200 routes, situated only 25km from the busy tourist city of Antalya.
The quality and beauty of the rock in Geyikbayiri, plus Antalya’s climate, and the relative ease of transportation are the prime reasons that pull climbers to the area. You will climb on superb limestone rock, with features ranging from grey limestone walls with small crimps, overhanging walls with stalactites and tufas, to pocketed walls described as a “mini Ceuse”.
- more than 1000 routes from 4 to 9a+ (some of which are longer than 30 meters, so 80 meter ropes are recommended)
- mostly good weather, but be sure to have a jacket in wintertime, as the evenings can get cold
- limestone rocks with lots of different structures
- easy to reach from Antalya
- plenty of amazing accommodation options
