These are all the places where I stayed on the trail. Of the 31 nights 23 were wild camping, and for only four of these were there any other people in the vicinity (camps 7, 23, 29 and 30). Of the remainder four were spent under a roof (one in Kalkan, two in Kaş and one in Finike), and four were in a paid campsite (one in Beycik and three in Çirali).

There were only about three or four nights with any rain, although one of these was about 9 hours of solid downpour (camp 17). In only one place (camp 11 just before Kaş) was there any troublesome wind, and even then it was more the noise that mattered.

Probably only half of the wild campsites had running water or a cistern close by. For the rest I had to carry it in, though this was often from only 1-2km. But this did mean planning ahead in the afternoon - either to collect and carry water or to make a decision to walk until there was water nearby.
