Benefits Of Trekking

Walking is nowadays both a sports activity and an outdoor activity for the purpose of discovering historical and natural beauties. Either way, trekking should become a habit that we should not must give up for our mental and physical health.

What kind of program?

While walking, it is recommended that the head be upright, the abdomen should be pulled inward and nothing should be carried in the hand. It is considered ideal to have a heart rate between 100-110 during walking. The walking speed must be increased gradually to reach the ideal heart rate. After a warm-up for five minutes, walking should be started and after the walk is completed, the pace should be decreased gradually and the heart rate should be returned to normal.

The best walking program is 5 days a week, targeting 10 thousand daily steps. It is recommended to start with 3 thousand - 4 thousand steps per day in the first days and to increase the number of steps to 10 thousand in the future. The walking pace is 1000 steps in 10 minutes. Mild pain in the waist and leg muscles during the first days of the walking program can be considered normal. However, in cases such as increased pain, shortness of breath, palpitations and dizziness, exercise should be stopped and help should be obtained from a health institution.

Endorphin secreted during walking has a calming and pain reliever effect. Regular walks regulate the blood flow to the brain and help fight mood disorders such as stress and depression.

It is very important that the stomach is not full while walking. Eating must be finished at least 2 hours before starting the walk. As the body continues the digestive process, it may be difficult and blood pressure problems may be experienced during walks with a full stomach.

It was organized in England in the 1880s by the "British Amateur Athletics Association" as a trekking or mountain trekking activity. In 1866, the first amateur walking championship was organized, and John Chambers won the race. Thanks to the rules regulated by such organizations, walking sport matured throughout the 19th century.

"Great day out on a boat exploring Kekova."

"We had a great day out on a boat exploring Kekova (which we'd booked with Xanthos Travel in Kas). We were picked up from our villa and driven down to the port at Kekova to board the boat. We had a fantastic guide - Baran - who explained how the day would pan out and throughout the day gave us a wonderful insight into the sunken city and history of the area. The boat was very comfortable and all of the crew were helpful. We were treated to a delicious lunch and snacks throughout the day, and loved the moment when the goats reaped the benefits of the leftovers! I would definitely recommend booking with these guys. They do lots of other fantastic trips in the area too."

"Jeep tour in the Kaş nature."

"My friend and I decided to join Xanthos for a jeep tour so we could visit some amazing places that otherwise we couldn't see. We were on the jeep with other 10 people and all the security rules have always been respected from the participants and the staff. A person has always come with the group and has been super helpful and at the same time cheerful. This is a great choice made by the company! An example: in the canyon a member of the group slipped and felt down. The Xanthos's guy immediately helped and checked her. Likely she didn't have any serious issues, so he cheered up again the spirit. With them we also did rafting on a river (not dangerous but a fun experience) and visited some places that in the right time (less crowded) are beautiful and enjoyable! I highly recommend this tour because its organization, staff, food and the natural legs."

"Amazing"

"We went on a days kayak tour. The instructor was good with all of our levels, patient and ensured that we all had a lot of fun. He was also fluent in English and extremely informed about the local area and shared his knowledge with us all. We stopped to swim in beautiful places, ate a fantastic lunch, ate locally made ice cream and also kayaked across the sunken city. It really was a magical day which we will all remember and also great value for money. The organisation was excellent and we couldn't have been in better hands. Will definitely book again."
