Altın Vadi

About Altın Vadi

Altın Vadi, the Golden Valley, is the valley of the Ali Onbaşı Deresi stream in Narlıdere. The İzmir Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism lists two official walking routes through it, both rated hard and on earth tracks and footpaths. One is a 17.5 km round trip from Narlıdere through Altınvadi and back, taking about 7 to 8 hours and recommended from April to November. The other is an 18 km route from Güzelbahçe to Altın Vadi in Narlıdere, also about 7 to 8 hours and recommended from November to April. A route published on Wikiloc starts at Narlıdere and follows the valley up towards Çatalkaya, a peak mapped on OpenStreetMap, before returning to Narlıdere. Narlıdere Municipality promotes the Ali Onbaşı Deresi as a place for a Sunday outing.
