Lycian Way, Coast & Mountains
Explorations from Turkey’s long-distance footpath.
OverviewThe Lycian Way has rightly become one of the world’s best known long-distance footpaths. Having walked the trail since 2004 we know it better than most, and with this local knowledge in mind we have revised the itinerary for 2012 to make it even better.
The ancient kingdom of Lycia, the country of light, on Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast, has seen the feet of many ancient people. We follow in their steps staying in four centres along the Lycian Way. Our private coach drops us at the beginning and picks us up at the end of our daily walks as well as taking us, and our bags, between centres.
From Fethiye we walk along coastal paths with beautiful panoramic views over the deep blue bay of the Oludeniz, amongst sheep camps to small authentic villages, and in the stunning Butterfly Valley. At Kas we walk inland through ancient forests and along sections of wild and rocky coastline, and explore the ancient city of Phaselis. Whilst at Cirali, we can enjoy a boat tour to Kekova Island and the Simena Sunken City, a delightful walk through pine forests to the Gelidonia lighthouse and climb to the saddle of Mount Olympos.
Our first and last night will be in Antalya, Turkey’s fastest growing city, situated on a limestone plateau between the mountains and the sea.
