Christmas Along the Lycian Way

The Kingdom of Lycia on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast has seen the feet of many ancient peoples. Walking the rugged terrain of the Lycian Way provides striking coastal and mountain views. The Lycian Way is a 509km long distance path spanning along the coast from Fethiye to Antalya. It is one of Turkey's favourite long distance paths combining beautiful coastal walking and secluded bays with ancient sites and history. This holiday has been carefully planned so the highlights of the Lycian Way have been selected for you to enjoy, covering approximately 100km of this mesmerising long distance path, so get your walking boots ready!

Your journey unfolds from four strategically chosen centres - Antalya, Fethiye, Kas and Adrasan, choosing the very best sections of the walk over its entire length from Ölüdeniz to Antalya. Sometimes you'll find the trail takes you off the beaten track walk off the trail if the scenery merits it. Private coach transportation has been arranged, ensuring seamless transfers to the start and end of each walk. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, delve into the fascinating details about the flora, fauna, archaeology and history.

Marvel at the steep mountains rising from the sea, offering impressive coastal views, or venture inland along old mule trails to traditional summer pastures known as 'yaylas.' Experience the beauty of Ölüdeniz Bay, walk inland from Kas through ancient forest to wild coastlines, explore ancient ruins at Patara, and cruise to Kekova Island and Simena Sunken City from Adrasan. Discover the eternal flames of Chimaera during a walk through lovely woodland and a picturesque gorge starting in Ulupinar.
