In this trip along the southern coast of Turkey we explore the western end of the Lycian Way, Turkey’s first long distance footpath. This region offers spectacular mountain and coastal scenery, many historical remains from the Lycian and Roman periods, rare and some unique flora and fauna, and of course the warm hospitality of the local people.
We follow old paths used by villagers between settlements, earth tracks and trails, passing through pine forests, olive groves, farmland and tiny villages, where we can still see elements of the traditional rural way of life. We stay in small hotels and pensions, and we transport your luggage every day, so you only need to carry a day pack while walking.
