Walk the highlights of the Lycian Way

Imagine a place where ancient ruins crumble between lush greenery, rocky cliffs tower out of the Mediterranean Sea and small towns dot the southern coastline – this is Lycia. Spend an unforgettable week hiking along the Lycian Way – a path once used by ancient Greeks and Romans – joined by a local leader who will add historical context to all your discoveries. You’ll reach ancient cities like Olympos, Aperlai and Sidyma by foot as you journey through the wilderness. Go on afternoon boat tours on the Mediterranean, take part in cultural activities, feast on traditional meals and watch the sunset by the water, making sure to balance active adventure and rest. This is a walking trip with daily hikes of up to 15 km or 7 hours per day on rocky ground, steep terrain and possible hot weather. You need to be in a moderate physical shape to complete all hikes in expected time.Where possible, we have tried to plan the walking in the mornings but please prepare for potential hot weather, even in Spring and Autumn months.You will need to pack good walking shoes, a hat, some sunscreen and a daypack.We strongly recommend bringing pair of walking poles. Please note, these cannot be obtained locally. Additionally, don’t forget a jacket and swimming gear.
