About
A rugged about 450 km journey from Geyikbayırı to Ölüdeniz Mahallesi. The Lycian Way weaves through ancient ruins and sun-baked coastal paths, where the scent of wild thyme mingles with salt air.
Nineteen stages, 15,755 meters of elevation gain, and a landscape that shifts from rocky mountains to serene beaches. You’ll pass the amphitheater at Patara and the rock tombs of Myra, remnants of the Lycian civilization.
Accessible year-round, this trail demands skill but rewards with stunning Mediterranean vistas and a deep connection to Turkey’s storied past.
