Turunç to Amos walking and hiking route

Walk Instructions

Waymarks (Blue markings/ red or white stripes or flashes) start as of the ‘37 sokak sign’.

A mid-difficult walk from Turunç on a rough mountain track, leading to the ruins of the ancient city of Amos.

The ruins, dating back to around 200 B.C, are in very good condition. The remains of the castle walls and the site itself have stunning views that will take your breath away. The walk takes about approximately 1,5 hours, although you should allow longer depending on much you stop on the way to enjoy the views and aswell as taking plenty of photos! The track is way marked and mostly very easy to follow but does include some sections over rough loose stone.

The walks starts as soon as you pass the petrol station and start taking the road up towards Amos. You will need to turn right along the street called ‘ 37 Sokak’. As you walk along this street, you will see that the street changes to ’39 Sokak’. Keep following this street.

You will start seeing the blue signs on the stone walls, trees and on the stones as you are walking along this track. There are some steep paths going steep uphill and some parts which will take you quite steep downhill. The paths are quite narrow and uneven, some lose stones. Therefore, please do be aware when walking along the paths.

Amos ruins:
About 10 minutes after passing the ‘Amos Professorler sitesi’ you will come to see a large white information board. You need to follow the path leading to the left. After a short distance there are wooden steps to aid the climb to the ruins themselves. Alternatively you can have a picnic and enjoy the views before your return back to Turunç via the paved road.
