About this trip
This eight-day trip follows sections of the Lycian Way along Turkey's southwest coast, walking between ancient ruins, quiet villages and stretches of open sea. It's a fully guided hike with a genuine sense of place - you're moving through landscapes that see few visitors, not ticking off sights from a coach.
Days are built around walking, with nights spent in rural guesthouses and time built in for tea stops and conversations with locals along the way. The pace favours those who want to properly stretch their legs and don't mind a few tough climbs for the reward of a beach or a ruin at the end.
What you'll do
- Walk coastal trails linking ancient ruins and small villages
- Explore the Roman ruins and beach at Patara
- Take a boat trip over sunken ruins on the Turquoise Coast
- Swim in secluded bays along the coast
- Stay in rural village guesthouses and stop at local teahouses
- Finish with two nights in Kas, among whitewashed houses and rock tombs
- This is a serious hiking trip — expect consecutive days of walking on coastal terrain
- You change accommodation through the week rather than basing in one spot
- Suited to those who want an active, on-foot way to see Turkey rather than a sightseeing tour
Worth it if you want stunning coastal hiking with genuinely brilliant guides and a mixed-age group vibe. Think twice if you need consistent luxury accommodation—some stays are basic.
- Guides (Alper, Kemal, Nebil) consistently praised for patience, keeping groups together, and accommodating fitness levels.
- Scenery and ruins genuinely varied day-to-day; boat trip with swimming and BBQ at trip's end a real highlight.
- Accommodation ranges from basic lodges (Gey village) to proper hotels; hospitality good but creature comforts variable.
- Groups 15-16 people, mixed nationalities and ages (40s to 70s); social chemistry seems natural but dependent on personalities.
