I discovered this amazing Turkish valley called Fırtına. It immediately reminded me of Bosnian landscapes: a gorge running along a river, little villages with minarets, Ottoman bridges, and absolutely stunning nature — it's incredibly similar. The only difference is that the Turks threw in some snow-capped mountains too.

The road isn't always perfect. There was one spot I didn't feel confident enough to drive to, even though minibuses were coming back from that direction with people in them. I didn't want to end up needing a tractor to pull me out if something went wrong, so I turned around halfway and crossed that point off my list. But you can reach all the really interesting places without any issues.

There are tourists around, but not a huge number. Still, there's enough traffic to support cafes, hotels, and a bunch of ziplines. While I was driving between different spots, I kept running into the same people over and over. It was pretty funny.

You can definitely check out all the highlighted spots on Çamlıhemşin in Google Maps and you'll have a great time.
