Paragliding events that started this summer in Turkey’s Çınarcık district of Yalova attract great attention. The events, which are held in a unique view from the high hills of the town, also attract the attention of tourists.
Paragliding instructor Emre İpek explained that they climbed the 600-meter-high hill, where paragliding is done, with a 30-minute journey through the forest.

In Gümüşhane’s Dumanlı Village, 38 nature lovers from GÜDAK took part in a 14-kilometer nature walk along the “Lost Santa Road” through the Santa Ruins. Amid fog, drizzle, bird sounds, and blooming flowers, participants followed stone-paved forest paths past historic churches, fountains, and bridges dating back to the 17th century. Known as “Paradise in the Valley,” the Santa Ruins, with seven neighborhoods of centuries-old architecture, offered a blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted history.
