Heading out to Turkey for the first time on the 9th March for a week.  Any suggestions for must do routes are most welcome!  I guess 6a-7bish? 

In fact any general advice is welcomed, we are staying in a nice hotel in Antalya and driving over to the climbing each day.

Thanks!

The first pitch of Lycian Highway is amazing at 6a+, there's plenty of other good stuff at Trebanna too.

 The climbing at Olympos is also meant to be good, if it's not the beach is certainly quite pleasant.

The ones with the draws already in are good.

Rocketman (6c+)  was good. Don't miss the fish 'restaurant' if you're there in the evening - looks can be deceptive

Black pearl is apparently a classic - didn’t get on it but looks mega

I loved the place. Seek and Destroy was the best route I did.

Thanks Jonathan, I thought I’d written something before.

Just copy and pasted!

“If you're staying at Peak the closest crags to you will be Poseidon, Ottoman, Mevlana (30 second walk in), Barbarosa and down to Echos.

I'll start with some routes around that area and categories them into onsight and redpointing routes. Then I'll mention some further away stuff.

Poseidon

Takoz, 6b+. Baba, 6c+. Ipek Yolu, 6c. Ya Sabir, 6a+.
Poseidon, 7b. Little Big Wall, 7a+. Big Turkey, 7a+/7b.

Ottoman

Riglos, 6c. Tas Ocagi, 6a. Beyaz Gelin, 6b. Jass Party, 6b+. Spider Solitaire, 6c+.
L'Empire Ottoman, 7a+. Noir Desire, 7a+. 

Mevlana

Semezen, 6c+. Dumlupinar, 6b.
Blue Hotel, 7b. Da Vinci Mode, 7a+.

Barbarossa

Barbarossa, 5a. Pasa, 6c+.
Sairlerin Sultani, 7a.

Alaaddin is a really good crag for something slightly easier and different. Good "active rest day" crag with some nice routes.

A little further away but well worth the walk. Starting closest to Peak.

Güzel Manzara

Big Walhalla, 6c+. Auf Nach Madagaskar, 6c (probably best 6c in the area).
Nagelstudio Stereo, 7a+. Fenster Mit Aussicht, 7b+. High Voltage, 7b+.

Dragon

Life Is Good, 6c. Schachmatt, 6b+. Banana Monster, 6b+.
Downpour, 7a+. Ahtapot, 7a+. Fire Spire, 7a+. Dragonfly, 7a. 
Anatolia

Sessions of Happiness, 6a. Sado Mazo, 6c. Mezarlareniza Turkurecem, 6c+.
Seek and Destroy, 7a. Power Slave, 7b.

Sarkit
Uckagitci Asik, 6b+. Imagination, 7a. 
Finger Prostitution, 7b+. Pusht Bush, 7b+. Ja Ja City, 7a+.

They're just some memorable routes on the upper crag, I'll have a think about the lower one and elsewhere.

Enjoy, Emilio.”

Sun Expess, 7a(+?) and Candy Cane, 7b are both well worth doing.
