Moving with Purpose
My background as an ultra trail runner has taught me endurance, respect for the mountains, and how to move confidently through nature.
As a yoga instructor, I’ve learned something equally important — the value of slowing down, staying present, and enjoying the journey rather than simply reaching the destination.
These two worlds come together in every walk I lead.
The pace is relaxed.
The atmosphere is welcoming.
And there’s always time to stop, take in the view, capture a photograph, or simply enjoy the silence.
What You Can Expect
When you join a walk with me, you can expect:
- Small groups for a more personal experience

- Carefully selected trails and authentic villages

Whether it’s your first hike in Türkiye or one of many adventures around the world, my goal is simple:
To help you experience western Türkiye the way a local does.

Responsible Travel
Walking with Respect for Nature and Local Communities
At Walk with Ece, every walk is about more than reaching a destination.
It’s about moving thoughtfully through landscapes that people have called home for generations. The forests, mountain villages, and trails we explore are living places, shaped by nature and by the communities who continue to care for them.
I believe that responsible travel begins with simple choices.
Staying on marked paths.
Respecting local traditions.
Supporting small family-run businesses.
Leaving nature exactly as we found it.
Travelling more slowly.
These small actions help protect the places we love while creating more meaningful experiences for everyone.
When we walk with care and curiosity, we don’t simply visit a place—we become part of its story, even if only for a day.
That’s the kind of travel I believe in, and it’s the experience I hope every guest takes home.
Let’s Walk Together
I believe the best journeys aren’t measured in kilometres.
They’re measured in the memories you take home, the people you meet, and the places that stay with you long after the walk has ended.
Why Walk with Ece?
More Than a Guided Walk
Walking is about more than covering distance.
It’s about discovering places with someone who knows them, understanding the stories behind the landscape, and taking the time to experience every step.
When you walk with me, you are in safe hands.
That’s the philosophy behind Walk with Ece.
Every walk is personal, thoughtfully planned, and designed to help you connect with western Türkiye in a meaningful way.
Being a local guide helps me share the stories of this region.
Being an ultra trail runner helps me choose the best routes.
Being a yoga instructor reminds me that walking isn’t about speed — it’s about presence.
Together, they shape every walk I lead.
