The Lycian Way (West)

Discover the real, rustic Turkey on the Lycian Way, Turkey’s first long-distance footpath. The path winds its way along the dramatic rocky coastline of the Mediterranean on ancient mule and cliff-top paths, occasionally dipping into shaded pine forests and dropping down to peaceful coves where you can take a break to swim in the deep blue turquoise sea.

Our carefully selected route on the Lycian Way explores the dramatic limestone peaks above the sea as well as taking you through peaceful shaded forests and remote villages where friendly locals will welcome you with genuine hospitality. Along the way you will also discover many ancient ruins from the Lycian and Roman periods. All of this makes for a unforgettable week of walking in a truly beautiful country.

Your walking holiday begins by exploring the abandoned Greek village of Kayakoy before heading on to the start of the walk at Ovacik and then following the path to Patara with its sandy dunes and ancient ruins.
