Its story

Çiğdem Yaylası is south of Hendek on the Elmacık Mountains, at an elevation of about 1,400 meters. It takes its name from the crocuses (çiğdem) that cover its meadows in spring and autumn. In summer, its cool air and the beech and fir forests around it make it suitable for nature walks. The yayla is also a meeting place that hosts traditional yayla festivals. To catch the flowering season, choose the timing of your visit carefully.
