Here's some recommended reading and web sites for planning your own expedition:
  • Trekking in Turkey
    Marc Dubin and Enver Lucas, Lonely Planet 1989.
    Now out of print, this is the best available guide for the backpacker.
    If you have a copy, don't ket it out of your sight!
  • The Mountains of Turkey
    Karl Smith, Cicerone 1994.
    A useful guide with grading on the more technical ascents.
    Geared to getting to the top rather than trekking around the valleys.

www.dksk.metu.edu.tr/faydali/mountains
a bit of basic information, and a useful contact point for Turkish climbers.
www.fred.kgb.cz
a czech site with some excellent pictures of a Kackar expedition.
www.adiamanli.org/mt_kackar_kavrun_plan.html
a useful couple of maps.
