Kent forest located on the Anatolian side in Beykoz https://goo.gl/maps/CNGUaftzbTU2 Is in a very easy and reachable location where you can hike to it from Beykoz right after leaving Bus number B15 it is only 20 mins walking distance from the bus stop. The forest used to have a dim that’s now dried and apparently being projected for a certain type of sport.

The approximate walking distance there is about 2 hours, no hard terrain but the ground where you can walk on is not sand but rather stony.

In Trabzon we were hosted by a Moroccan host who was very generous, very kind and he with his wife made us food and made sure we set comfortable in their house.

In the next day morning we moved to Uzungol, a lake which is very famous of its nature and the surrounding beauty of mountains. although the lake is no longer green and its more of a commercial/Touristic place but the surrounding mountains, caves and green is stunning.

We walked there but walking was not enough so we decided to go hiking toward one of the mountains. Hiking to the mountains there would take approximately 4-5 hours one way toward the top so we didn't have enough time but we came through half of it approximately.
