About this experience

Lycian Way is marked by British author Kate Clow in 1999, this ancient trail has been offering nature enthusiasts unique experiences for over two decades. I invite you to embark on one of the most accessible and scenic sections of this 540 km-long route.

In the morning, we'll enjoy a delightful ascent with views of Ölüdeniz and the Mediterranean accompanying us until noon.

For lunch, we'll be guests at a village house, savoring local flavors and delicacies.

In the afternoon, our path typically leads downhill, shaded by pine trees, as we make our way to Faralya. Here, we'll rendezvous with a vehicle for our return journey to Fethiye.
