Urla Tent Camping

Known for its olive groves, vineyards, and long coastline, Urla spans a wide peninsula west of Izmir. It offers varied terrain both along the coast and further inland.

About tent camping

Tent camping is the most flexible, lowest-cost type of camping — you can start with nothing more than a small backpack. Terrain choice, ground flatness, and wind direction are the most critical factors.

What to keep in mind

  • Choose a spot with no ground slope or risk of water pooling
  • Pitch parallel to the wind direction, not facing into it
  • Follow the fire-safety rules set by Turkey's Forestry authority (OGM)
