Lycian Way
Along the Turquoise Coast to the lighthouse
Full Description

Walking holidays, tours and vacations on the Lycian Way, Turkey

 

Ancient Olympus, pomegranate juice and the sea


The Turquoise Coast is one of the last unspoilt parts of Turkey's southern littoral. Our route starts at a mountain hotel overlooking the Lycian Way, a long distance footpath along the bulge on the coast west of Antalya. It takes you down to the coast itself at Phaselis, a wonderfully preserved and little-visited Graeco-Roman site on a promontory, and then winds south past secluded beaches to the Chimaera, the eternal flame of legend. Explore this and the nearby site of Olympus (the Turkish one, that is), and then those last two days! Lonely and thrilling, the last day along the wild and beautiful coast of the empty peninsula of Kilidonya to the lighthouse.
