The Lycian Way - the famous coastal walk through unspoilt countryside

The Lycian Way is Turkey’s first long distance footpath, stretching for 509 km (311 miles) between Ovacik (near Fethiye) and Antalya. The holiday is based at Yuva, with guided day-walks along the Lycian Way and connecting routes on 4 days.

Lycia is the historical name of a “bulge” of land in Anatolia’s south west corner, where the Toros mountains rise sheer out of the sea. The path traverses the rugged turquoise coast, with its breathtaking gorges and seascapes and great alluvial plains with fast flowing snow-fed rivers.

This holiday is for anyone who enjoys hill/mountain walking. You can expect walks of approximately 6 - 8 miles, with plenty of elevation and descent; some walks later in the week may be longer.

Getting moderately fit before you go could add to your enjoyment of the holiday.

There is also plenty of time to relax and enjoy the sea and beautiful surroundings.

This walking holiday is led by

Nihat Tokdil and Atilla Sevilmis

Atilla, is an experienced leader. Walking with him is great fun, as the group inevitably finds itself visiting small farms and sipping tea with the locals.

Nihat is originally from Izmir and first visited this area in the 1980’s. He is an
experienced local guide. Nihat enjoys sharing his deep love of the forest, plants and wildlife, and his English is excellent.

Equipment:

You will need good, well broken-in walking boots that you know are comfortable.

Generally, light clothes, a sun-hat and sun screen are fine for this climate, but it is also wise to take a light water-proof top and over-trousers, just in case...

We also suggest a small first-aid kit, a torch with spare batteries, insect repellent and a packed
lunch container.
