Hunting in Turkey
Anatolia, the bridge between Asia and Europe, contains rich hunting grounds which have been hunted for thousands of years by civilizations from the Hittites to the Romans and the Ottomans. From the Taurus Mountains of the Mediterranean to the Mercan Mountains of Eastern Anatolia and the Kackar Mountains of the Black Sea region, this area has its own species such as Anatolian Ibex, Anatolian Chamois, Anatolian (Konya) Sheep, East Anatolian (Armenian) Sheep, Mid Asian Brown Bear, Anatolian Wild Boar, Anatolian Red Deer, Roe Deer, Gazelle, Wolf and Lynx. Besides hunting, Turkey is a great destination for vacations as well. Istanbul, Ephesus, Cappadocia, Troy and Antalya are some of the must visit places in Turkey. We offer private sightseeing tours in Turkey for you and your companions after or before your hunts. Please ask us for further details regarding our private sightseeing tours.
