Türkiye’s nature and natural beauty are alluring, especially for those of us who have been staying home in urban areas. But basic camping may not be suitable for everyone, and that’s where glamping comes in – providing comfort, nature and relaxation along with social distancing.
Each glamping center in Türkiye has distinctive attractions and activities. In addition to swimming and hiking, many offer yoga, fishing, organic farming and bicycle tours.
Club Amazon, Marmaris
In Marmaris, Club Amazon is a secluded glampsite in a pine forest. Accommodation options include bungalows, colorful caravans or stone rooms; each features its own bathroom and some have skylights. While Club Amazon is a few minutes’ walk from the beach, intrepid boaters can borrow a canoe and row along a forest stream that flows into the sea. A short journey delivers guests to a peaceful cove.

Mona Glamping, Seferihisar
Located in Sığacık, Seferihisar, a quiet district of Izmir, Mona Glamping is ideal for a relaxing break. Less touristy than Çeşme or Alaçatı, it is much quieter. In fact, Seferihisar is the first in Türkiye to be designated a Slow City. The title is bestowed by the International Union of Municipalities, established in Italy, and 70 criteria must be met to obtain the designation. Seferihisar especially is notable for its sensitivity in supporting local producers. There are four markets per week, one of which is organic, where local producers can sell their products. As well, an important goal is to produce local seeds. Mona Glamping, just 5 kilometers from the center of Seferihisar center, offers an eco-friendly holiday away from both the crowds and the uniformity of globalization.

Kozluyalı, Ayvacık
You may experience some light-headedness when you arrive in Kozluyalısaf, at the foot of the Kaz Mountains. This is due to the extremely fresh air and, possibly, from watching squirrels leap from tree to tree.

With the sea of Assos at your feet and trees above your head, you’ll discover ultimate relaxation. If you yearn for a touristic activity, you can visit the nearby Assos Ancient City.
