The route goes from Afyonkarahisar to Ayazini, in İhsaniye district, and Döğer, then to Yazılıkaya in Han district of Eskişehir, that is, the Midas Monument. It ends in Eskişehir via Seyitgazi.
Road conditions
The roads linking the villages and district centres are asphalt; the final connections to the monuments and rock settlements are narrower village roads. The Phrygian Way in the region, on the other hand, is a network of footpaths marked for walking, not for motor vehicles.
Things to watch for
- On village roads you may meet farm vehicles and flocks of animals.
- At midday in summer the steppe is very hot; in winter it is cold and windy.
- To visit the rock settlements you need to leave the motorcycle somewhere safe and walk; bring suitable footwear.
- Fuel stations are few between the villages; fill the tank in Afyonkarahisar or İhsaniye.
The route can be done as a day trip; Afyonkarahisar and Eskişehir are suitable stops for accommodation.
