After leaving Istanbul in the morning, we set off towards İzmit Yuvacık. After enjoying a village breakfast here, our vehicle takes us to the starting point of our route, and we pack our backpacks and begin our hike.
The first 30 minutes of the trail, which we will hike for approximately 4 hours, are entirely downhill to Veysel Dayı’s Place, located at the base of Aytepe Valley. After a short tea break here, we start a 45-minute walk along a path leading to one of the highest points in Beşkayalar Nature Park, a hill (Şahin Hill) that overlooks the whole valley. Once we reach the hilltop, we take a 10-15 minute break to enjoy the view. (Participation in this section is optional; those who wish may wait by the fireplace for the hikers.)
Afterward, we head back toward Veysel Dayı’s Place and have our lunch by the fireplace. After lunch, we continue hiking toward Servetiye Village. We will reach Servetiye Village, where our vehicle awaits, after about a 2.5-hour walk. The trail along the dirt road in the canyon is safe and about 80% downhill. Along the way, we will encounter two waterfalls. The first is a bit further away, but we will be able to take a photo of it. The second is a small waterfall directly on our route, where we’ll take off our shoes and cross to the other side. After the waterfall, a half-hour walk brings us to Servetiye Mosque Village. From here, we start our return to Istanbul, arriving around 19:00.
