Stage 6 of the Troy Culture Route covers 11.1 km from Gülpınar to Bademli, with 418 m of ascent and 188 m of descent. The highest point is 338 m. Allow about 4 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Small hotel at Acıdere on the Bademli coast, about 4 km south of Bademli village (3.5 km off the trail). Taxi or a long walk downhill; listed only, call ahead.
Campsite with ready-pitched tents or your own tent on the Bademli coast road, about 4 km south of Bademli village (3.4 km off the trail). Reservation only.
Stone-house pension in Kocaköy, on the trail about 4 km before Bademli. Listed only; call ahead.
Village-house hotel with simple rooms and a kitchen that serves long breakfasts and dinners, in Koyunevi, 0.3 km from the trail about 2 km past Bademli (the start of stage 7).
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed in a map or guide listing" appear on OpenStreetMap, map business listings, the official route site or a walker's report, but could not be confirmed on their own website. Geyikli, Gülpınar and Assos have plenty of rooms, but Yeniköy, Akçakeçili and Kösedere have almost none: book the few beds early, carry a tent, or arrange a taxi to a coast hotel. Most places are booked by phone or WhatsApp, and village shops and small pensions often want cash.
Emergency: call 112 (ambulance, gendarmerie, fire, AFAD). Emergency & health guide
