TURKEY: Hiking The Lycian way
In ancient times, a mining area located in the South-West of Asia Minor, in the region of the Teke Peninsula, was called Lycia.
On the West it bordered with Karya,
on the North with Phrygia and Pisidia,
on the East with Pamphylia
and washed by the Mediterranean sea on the South.
The coastline is strongly indented in Lycia.
There are many bays, islets and sheltered coves.
And internal areas are occupied by fertile valleys separated by spurs of the Taurus range.
At the end of the XX century, an Englishwoman named Kate Clow, paved the Lycian tourist route.
It became one of the most popular trail in the world.
Disparate roads, trails and goat paths are connected in a single path, with a total length of 509 kilometers.
The trail is marked with red and white marks.
In some places, they are more common and in others, less common.
And sometimes completely lost or hidden in dense vegetation.
There are numerous signs along the trail.
They show the direction to the nearest historical attractions or large settlements.
You can go on the path without a guide.
Of course, you may end up strayed.
Mutual assistance between tourists helps them to find their way.
The most difficult area to for orientation are the fields lined with pyramids of stones. They are called the ducks.
The Lycian trail streches along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, from Fethiye to Antalya.
The path goes through forests and mountains, agricultural areas, ancient ruins, villages and abandoned villages.
The route is made so that it can be walked with ease.
It is never more than one day's walk, from one rest area to the next.
On the way, you can easily find restaurants, snack bars and grocery shops.
With the alternative of travelling with a tent, cooking over a campfire and sleeping under the stars.
There are no organized campsites in Turkey.
A tent can be placed anywhere without any restrictions.
It's easy to find drinkable water and wood for the fire.
There are also springs, rivers, lakes and wells.
You can easily ask for water in any home.
The Turks are a very hospitable people.
Especially to foreigners.
Local residents not only willingly undertake to fulfill traveler's requests,
they also invite them for tea, food and shelter.
The trail can be walked at any time of the year.
But the ideal season remain Spring or Autumn.
As Summers are too hot and Winters too wet.
The most popular season on the trail — May holidays.
The Lycian trail begins on the outskirts of Fethiye.
From Oludeniz, she abruptly goes into the mountains.
The path reaches the sea for the first time, in the area of Kabak, on a small pebble beach.
The water is still cold and swimming is unattractive.
But it is already quite comfortable to sleep in the tent. It is not cold.
The Lycians founded their cities in the most convenient places.
Most often on the top of a mountain or on the river bank.
On a hill at the mouth of the Xanthos river in the Mediterranean sea, there was, in ancient times, a port city called Pindi.
There were 23 major cities in Lycia.
One of the most important was Xanthos.
It was founded by settlers from Crete in the VIII century BC.
The City was the capital of the Lycian Union.
And later became a part of the Roman Empire.
Only fragments remain from the high walls.
The port city of Patara was founded in the VI century BC.
It was one of the largest cities in the Lycian Union.
Here lived the Roman Emperor Hadrian.
And on the way to Rome stayed in St. Paul.
The holiday village of Kalkan has replaced the Greek village of Kalamaki.
Now this village, is popular amongst those who prefer a quiet and relaxing holiday by the sea.
On the shore, at the foot of the cliff under Felos, was in ancient times, the port of Antiphellos. It is briefly mentioned in Homer's Illiad. The inhabitants of this city fought on the side of the Trojans.
The ancient city of Myra was in the Lycian Union.
The amphitheatre was designed for 30 thousand seats. We can see many rows of seats of the audience, the scene and arches covered galleries, still perfectly preserved.
Roman Emperor Julius Caesar and the Apostle Paul were visiting here. At the beginning of the IV century, the local Bishop was Nicholas, from Patara. He performed many miracles and was canonized.
The trail goes along the slopes protected the Göynük canyon.

Turkey's first long distance footpath, the Lycian Way was created in 1999 by Kate Clow. 540km long, it is marked to Grand Randonee standards and is managed by the Culture Routes Society in Antalya. Internationally recognised as one of the top 10 best trekking routes in the world, the success of the Lycian Way has seen other projects such as the St Paul Trail, the Carian Trail and the Hittite Trail.

Fethiye Lycian Way
The Lycian Way is a 540 km, 29-day way-marked footpath around the coast of Lycia in southern Turkey, from Fethiye to Antalya. The trail consists mainly of Roman roads, old footpaths and mule trails, often hard and stony underfoot, not suitable for mountain bikes. Lying between the coast and mountains, it often has steep gradients. It was researched, designed and waymarked by Kate Clow, a British/Turkish amateur historian, in 1999. Turkey’s first long-distance walking route, it was made in order to identify and protect some of Turkey’s old roads.
The start point, at Ölüdeniz, is 2 hours from Dalaman airport and the end point is now at Geyikbayırı, from which there are daily buses to Antalya.

Likya Yolu | Lycian Way Fethiye- Faralya Stages
Short video shot from my Lycian Way adventure back in 2015. It was full of joy as well as relaxation during 5 days. This ancient road allows you to discover Turkey’s beautiful Turquoise Coast as well as jaw-dropping views. You will need approximately 25 days to complete the whole route which is now around 535 km. Lycian Way is pointed as one of the top 10 long distance trekking way in the world.
Hiking from Fethiye to Ölüdeniz via Kayaköy along the Lycian Way in Turkey
This was about 12 KM into a 14 KM hike from Fethiye to Ölüdeniz via Kayaköy, along the Lycian Way in Turkey. The dog in the video, some sort of Dalmatian mutt, started following us in Fethiye and, despite our initial efforts to shoo him away, continued following us all the way to Ölüdeniz, whereupon he plopped down in some random resort, apparently content with his new home. We named him Dumb.

Day One: Hiking The Rugged Lycian Way - Ovacik to Faralya, Turkey
We planned this trip to Turkey around hiking a portion of the Lycian Way which winds through the Taurus Mountains and along the coast of the Turkish Riviera with Explore Worldwide. This 509 kilometer/316 mile long trail officially begins in Ovacik (above Fethiye) and heads east to Antalya.
Only a portion of this long distance trail would be hiked over six days and it was vehicle supported so ex-Marine (husband, Steve) and I knew that if any day was too much for us, we could ride with baggage to the next overnight stop; the best of all worlds.
Come along to see what we saw and did with the very congenial group of extremely fit and strong hikers (except for us) that included one woman from Calgary while all the others were Brits who are almost always in excellent condition because they WALK everywhere!
The Official Start of the Lycian Way began...

Start - Fethiye. End - Kalkan.
Some words about:
Içmek - Yemek. Türkiye
Компанией дружной Ликийской тропою
11 смелых, но спешных ребят.
Решили пройти от Фетхие до Демри –
Ну как там дела вообще обстоят?
Месяцы шли в ожиданье поездки,
Тысячи слов напечатаны в чат.
Остро шли споры про то, что нам есть там,
Как мы летим и кто виноват?
И наконец-то, собрались мы вместе.
Гул шасси о плиты и скорый полет.
И вот мы в новом, прекраснейшем месте.
Где по утрам муэдзи́на поет !
Шли вроде дружно сперва по тропе мы,
Вроде как вместе и весело так.
Айвэн пил bira, не зная проблемы,
Антон бесконечно считал наш общак.
Первые дни нам стали отрадой –
Мы ведь все вмести их провели.
Кто-то спешил прогулять всю зарплату,
Кто-то терял документы вдали.
Мы как бы вместе, но спали отдельно.
Правда кто спал и этак и так.
Кто-то спешил заселиться в отеле,
Чтоб побыстрей запрокинуть bardak:)
И все было мило и даже душевно –
Споры без ссоры и троллинг любой.
Гранаты, ekmek, mandalinы – хоть тресни!
Каждый мог взять и нести их с собой.
Мы шли не бесцельно, а четко и к месту,
Хоть нашим местом был чаще – kabak.
Вино, сигареты, пушистое тесто,
А что вы хотели – у нас расслабляк!
Лазурные воды, лазурное небо,
В глазах так лазурно, что кругом идет.
Прохлада и пальмы – бомбезное место.
Какая же сила нас в Днепр вернет?
Но не бывать утопии вечно –
Масса критична, сумбур, суета!
И врассыпную: по plajу, по лесу
Наши пути разошлись на ура!
Пускай не дошли мы до славного Демри –
Зато нам запомнится эта тропа!
А все остальное – Стамбул и окрестность –
Это все тема другого стиха.
Lycian Way in Turkey (Likya Yolu) | Hibatul Azizi 2018
Ini adalah video pendek dari beberapa cuplikan pada perjalanan Likya Yolu (Lycian Way) kami yang di mulai dari Fethiye menuju ke Antalya selama 11 hari perjalanan tepatnya pada tanggal 17-28 Agustus 2018. Sebenarnya masih banyak sekali panorama-panorama alam bagian Akdeniz Turki yang sangat luar biasa indah, tetapi kami hanya menampilkan cuplikan-cuplikan yang hanya dapat/sempat diambil videonya. Perjalanan saat itu luar biasa ekstrim, baik itu berhubungan dengan suhu yang tinggi(summer) ditambah lagi dengan jalan yang terbilang sulit seperti tanjakan, tebing, kekurangan air minum dan sebagainya. Alhamdulillah semua lelah itu terbayarkan karena disetiap langkah kami disuguhkan dengan ciptaan-ciptaan Allah SWT yang Maha Kuasa.

Fethiye Oludeniz - Ghost Town | Lycian way Trail | Dragon Crazy Night Boat Party
Having a day full in Oludeniz we visited Kayakoy Ghost Town.
Kayakoy ghost village lies a short distance from the bustling and popular resorts of Fethiye and Oludeniz. It is deserted, it is lifeless, the houses are crumbling and the streets are empty.However, there is an aura and an overwhelming presence that hovers over the village. Kayakoy might be a ghost village but imagination and research certainly makes it come alive.
Next stop of the day was Lycian way Trail.
The Lycian Way is one of the world’s great long-distance hiking trails, regularly featuring in top-10 lists for its unique combination of Mediterranean views, mountainous hinterland, Turkish culture and ancient ruins.
Its pull on the imagination is undeniable, and it wasn’t long ago that its mix of stunning coastline, resort towns and rustic villages pulled me in. The 540km waymarked footpath – typically a 29-day trek – follows the bulging outline of the Teke Peninsula between the tourist towns of Fethiye and Antalya. Along the way, it skirts the coast and climbs up into the rugged backcountry. This stretch of dramatic Mediterranean coastline, its beaches and vertiginous sea cliffs overlooked by the olive-grove-dotted foothills of the Western Taurus Mountains, where travellers can explore moss-covered chambers of history’s first proto-democratic union
Evening we made a spontaneous plan to attend a boat party. Dragon is a Pirate themed boat offering both day and evening trips from Oludeniz. It has 3 decks so plenty of room, 2 bars and foam parties available. Both trips include a delicious meal. Transfers from accommodation can be arranged. Visit the local beautiful bays and historical island in the day, swim relax enjoy and have fun! At night eat drink dance and be merry!
If you are planning your travel to turkey, we have all the information for you in my Turkey Travel Vlogs. How to plan trip to turkey is very common question in everyone's mind, and I believe you can plan your trip after watching our this travel series.
