69. Talking Turkey and Türkiye (+ Holiday Lights in California)
In this episode Brad and Holly talk about Weekend Sherpa's recent adventure hiking a section of Türkiye's relatively unknown world-class long-distance hiking trail, the Lycian Way. This marvelous and challenging trek overlooking the Turquoise Coast and passing ancient ruins, with beach stops and charming towns along the way, can be done as a guided adventure, a do-it-yourselfer, or a combo of solo hiking with the help of a guiding company's GPS and info App, plus luggage and trailhead transfers. Learn more about it in this episode, and also hear about the cats of Istanbul and the hot air balloon magic in Kapadokya. Then Holly and Brad turn it towards home, discussing some of the best places across California from the most festive and fabulous holiday light exhibitions, to where to enjoy <i>beauti-fall</i> beaches. <br /><b></b><br /><b>Show Notes:</b> Fort Ord Dunes State Park <a href="https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/beach-sunset-at-ford-ord-dunes-state-park-in-monterey/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/beach-sunset-at-ford-ord-dunes-state-park-in-monterey/</a> <br /><br />Mendocino's Hidden Beach Stairway <a href="https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/hidden-stairway-beach-to-town-hike-in-mendocino-california/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/hidden-stairway-beach-to-town-hike-in-mendocino-california/</a> <br /><br />Redding Holiday Lights <a href="https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/holiday-getaway-to-redding-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/holiday-getaway-to-redding-2025/</a> <br /><br />Paso Robles Sensorio and Central Coast Trail Rides <a href="https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/experience-the-extraordinary-sensorio-light-exhibition-in-paso-robles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/experience-the-extraordinary-sensorio-light-exhibition-in-paso-robles/</a><a href="https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/go-on-a-guided-horseback-ride-at-the-historic-santa-margarita-ranch-in-paso-robles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/go-on-a-guided-horseback-ride-at-the-historic-santa-margarita-ranch-in-paso-robles/</a> <br /><br />Reno Tahoe's Tom Cooke Trail <a href="https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/hike-tom-cooke-in-reno-tahoe/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.weekendsherpa.com/stories/hike-tom-cooke-in-reno-tahoe/</a>
