The Lycian Way or “Likya Yolu” in Turkish , is a 540-km/300-mile walk along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey from Fethiye to Antalya. It is a combination of several ancient routes of the Lycian people and is marked by a red and white striped logo.
The walks follow rural tracks, both surfaced and unsurfaced, footpaths and animal trails. You may encounter some loose rock, or muddy / slippery sections in wet weather.

This is very difficult to answer definitively, but if you are reasonably fit, then trekking is challenging but not exhausting. Most treks are designed so that you walk a comfortable distance each day and still have enough power left for the next.
Anywhere from 5 km to 15-20 km depending on condition of trekking trail and the altitude of the trekking route.
You will need good walking shoes/boots, comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack, warm clothing in the early/late part of the year and hats etc during the summer. We supply a detailed packing list with your information pack.
The Lycian Way is nice walked anytime between April and June and then in September and October. July and August are generally too hot for walking. Spring is great, when when the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing but it is also nice at the end of September and October when it has really started to cool down.

Absolutely Not.
All luggage transfers between inns are assured by us. Only on some expedition trips (trekking and mountain biking) you might need to carry your own gear.
Trekking is for you and everyone who is patient and physically fit and enjoys outdoors.
We highly recommend having a guide with you. You will travel in wilderness areas and sometimes at high elevations so from the safety aspect you should not be alone. Travelling through villages, will bring you across many trails and if you take a wrong turn accidently it may be difficult to communicate with locals to get back on the right path or to secure food or accommodation. They will be unlikely to speak English.
We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as this tour is very popular. You will find up to date availability on our website and we will always try and accommodate your plans.

The most important question for novices is where to start. As noted, the starting segment begins from Fethiye Oludeniz and ends around Geyikbayiri, 20 km from Antalya. Or, you can start from any point along the Lycian Way and select an ending point depending on how much time you have. In general, trekking the entire route takes between 25 and 40 days; you can set a route according to your own schedule.
