TOUR PROGRAMME
Lycia is the ancient name of the Teke Peninsula between Antalya and Fethiye, which stretches along the southern coast of Turkey. The name of Lycia comes from the Hittite word “Lukka” meaning “Light”. The land of light deserves this name with its more than 300 sunny days during the year.
Lycia way consists of a combination of Roman, Seljuk, Ottoman period paths, goat paths and forest roads, which is a long-distance walking route. The Lycian Way is one of the top 10 longest routes in the world, with a 540 km walking track stretching along the coast.
The program, which was created by choosing the best parts of the Lycian way, offers you the most popular route of Lycia.

We start our walk from Çavdır village with a visit to the ancient city of Xantos, the first capital of the Lycian Civilization. We walk with a view on the Kınık plain on the waterway built to meet the drinking water needs for Xantos in the 2nd century.

Now that we have left the center of Kaş and Kalkan, we see 1-2 nomadic groups (yörük obaları) and walk on a flat latitude to Gökçeören, intertwined with nature. After finishing our walk in Gökçeören at an altitude of 900 ,we explore the village. We drive back to Patara to our hotel and explore Patara Ruins.

Aperlai is one of the ports where valuable purple color is produced from snails in ancient times. Paints of purple colored fabrics and other purple materials were obtained from this area. In that period a bad smell spreaded around due to production. We can still see some remnants. We go to our boat which waiting for us.

The number of people is limited for an efficient and enjoyable walk!
Groups are min. 6– max. 16 people
Since the walking track passes through villages and their local businesses within the scope of sustainable tourism, expectations should not be high in those businesses! Some of them are bungalows with pools, some of them are village houses, but the most important criterion is that we do not compromise on cleanliness.
The track is generally beginner level. Anyone with good performance can walk!
Those who have chronic illness and allergies must notify during registration!
Due to natural conditions (rain), the guide has the right to change the program.
Please do not leave your reservations to the last minute as the hiking season is spring-autumn!
