Lycian Way Trail

Amazing trip)

The official starting point for the Lycian Way is not Fethiye it many will start from here because of the passing through Kayakoy, which is famous for it’s Ghost Town village. The official start is Oludeniz, and about 30 minutes to one hour into the walk is where most people take the spectacular photos you see at sunset. I have done the whole Lycian Trail, and this portion, although not the easiest of starts, is certainly one of the nicer portions of the trail.

Amazing hike. We walked from Patara to Kalkan. It is a bit of a walk but definitely worth it. The first 3/4 has amazing views and a couple of beaches were you can swim! (Also one restaurant with good views about 10 Km from Patara). The last 1/4 after the aqueduct is bushy. Start early so that you get to Kalkan before the evening time and can expend some time swimming!

After the starting point, you can drive 500 meters by car. Then the road becomes only for walking. Very beautiful views of the sea and the Blue Lagoon.

This is the beginning point of 640 km Lycian Way (Turkish: Likya Yolu). The path follows the ancient trade road of the Lycian cities. It is considered to be one of the top 10 walking path in the world. The walking path is mostly accepted to be ending in rural Geyikbayiri town, Antalya and it can take around 30 days to cover it in a comfortable way. The places you will be passing by along the Lycian way are as follows: Ovacik - Fethiye (Beginning), Kirme, Faralya, Kabak koyu (bungalows and camping), Alinca, Inceburun, Gey (Yediburunlar), Bel, Belcegiz, Gavuragligi, Pyndai (antique city), Letoon (antique city), Xsantos (antique city), Kinik, Çandır, Akbel, Patara, Eren Tepe, Delik Kemer, Kalkan, Bezirgan, Yumru Tepe, Kaş, Limanaagzi, Ufakdere, Bogazcik, Kilincli, Aperlae (antique city), Uçağız, Kalekoy, Gökkaya, Demre, Muskar, Alakilise, Belos, Finike, Karaöz, Gelidonya Feneri (lighthouse), Adrasan, Musa Dagı Mountain, Olympos (antique city), Cirali (tree houses), Yanartaş (Chimaera), Ulupinar, Beycik Village, Tahtali Mountain (cable Car), Cukuryayla, Gedelme (Gedelme Cave), Ovacik, Göynuk highland, Göynük Canyon, Hisarcandir, Citdibi, Caglarca, Geyikbayiri (end)

Really beautiful and hard way We hike just a little of it

The place is awesome!!!You must walk this way and get fantastic experience!!! I like Lycian Way.

View is spectacular. Keep right at the gate and follow the road until you can see the markings for the Lycian way. The first 2km are an easy walk after that the way gets more challenging, narrow and steeper. I would definitely recommend warring good shows. There are some nice spots on the way where you can rest and enjoy the view.
