Lycian Way, Hiking trail in southwest Turkey
The Lycian Way extends over 500 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast between Fethiye and Antalya, featuring coastal paths and mountain segments.
The trail follows ancient routes used by Lycian traders and incorporates archaeological sites, including rock-cut tombs dating from 400 BCE.
Local villages along the path maintain traditional farming practices, offering hikers opportunities to experience rural Turkish customs and Mediterranean cuisine.
The path requires 25-30 days for completion, with options to stay in village guesthouses or camp under specific regulations.
