Yayla Plateaus

Besichtigung

Yayla is the Turkish word for plateaus, alpine pastures and highlands. But in Türkiye they’re so much more than just that, yaylas are basically a way of life. The hilly lands of the Black Sea Region, as well as along the Mediterranean and Aegean, are perfectly suited for growing all sorts of wildlife, and in the hot summer months they of course make the perfect getaway! The hills have cool breezes, a local way of life all their own, local foods and local customs, and represent one of the great ways to discover the beauty of Türkiye.
