Lycian Way

Starting at Fethiye and going till Antalya, the Lycian way is a 540 km long stretch of marked hiking trails amidst Turkey’s beautiful beaches, jungles and mountains. While it takes roughly 30 days and a decent trekking experience to complete the entire path, Lycian Way is split into many smaller route options for tourists with the limited time that offer the thrill and adventure of hiking, precious memories to take back home, and unforgettable views.

One of the unmissable spots on the Lycian Way is Olympos, the highest point of all the trails. At about 2400 meters, Olympus gives you a clear view of the Mediterranean and one of the best sunsets. Some of Lycian Way’s highlight attractions are Butterfly Valley ( a powerful waterfall cascading down the back of an enormous canyon), Patara (an ancient city dating back to the 13th century), and Kaputas ( a crystal clear beach with magnificent blue waters, in the shape of a triangle, cut out off surrounding cliffs ). Hikers can either carry their own camping gear and feel free to set up their tent on the various campsites along the hike routes or stay in the hotels situated in the small villages along the way. Tourists are advised to carry hiking shoes, rain ponchos, plenty of water, swimwear, medicine and first aid kit, power banks, and multiple sets of appropriate clothing. Whether you are an experienced hiker or looking for a leisurely camping experience by the beach and mountains, this hidden gem of Turkey has it all.
