Climbing

Rido Camping is the best place for rock climbers in and around Antalya with over 600 routes to climb nearby. The campsite is around 20km away from Antalya, near the village Geyikbayiri. The camping is situated between the two most popular sectors in Geyikbayiri: Trebena (4 minutes walk) and Sarkit (10 minutes walk).

The climbing region is pretty new – it has only been used for the past 10 years. Most of the routes are only a few years old. The rock is a great quality limestone, many overhanging routes with lots of tufas. You can climb here even if it’s raining.

A 70 meter rope should do for most of the routes, for a few ones you will need a longer one however. You will also need lots of quickdraws. Remember to bring some with long slings, so your line won’t drag along the tufa.

Most of the climbing sectors can be reached by foot in about 5-15 minutes and there is a big sector just next to the camping site (appr. a 4 minute walk from the camping).
