Destination

Karakaya

Karakaya, a beautiful village reached by a 4 km road to the left immediately after the town of Kaymaz at the 60th km of the Eskişehir-Ankara highway, attracts great interest with its granite rock formations that are very suitable for rock climbing. The most suitable seasons for climbing are spring, summer and autumn. Since most of the routes are on the north face of the rocks, they are shaded all day in summer except for the early hours. As winter is very cold, climbing is difficult even if the weather is dry.
