About this trip

This is eight days of walking a stretch of the Lycian Way, the old coastal path once used by Greeks and Romans, along Turkey's southern shoreline where cliffs drop into the Mediterranean and ruined cities sit half-swallowed by scrub.

A local leader walks with you and fills in the history as you reach places like Olympos, Aperlai and Sidyma on foot rather than by coach. Days mix hiking with boat trips on the sea, traditional meals and time to watch the sun go down over the water.

It's built to balance real effort with proper rest, so alongside the walking there's room to slow down, swim and eat well.

What you'll do

  • Walk sections of the ancient Lycian Way with a local leader
  • Reach the ruined city of Olympos on foot
  • Explore the abandoned settlements of Aperlai and Sidyma
  • Take an afternoon boat tour on the Mediterranean
  • Swim and watch the sunset by the coast
  • Share traditional meals along the route
Good to know
  • Daily hikes run up to 15 km or 7 hours over rocky, steep ground, so moderate fitness is needed
  • Expect heat even in spring and autumn, though walks are timed for mornings where possible
  • Bring proper walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, a daypack and swimming gear — walking poles are recommended but can't be sourced locally

Route map for Walk the highlights of the Lycian Way
  1. Arrive in Antalya, the clifftop ancient city overlooking the Mediterranean. Meet your group and trip leader at 6 pm. Spend free time exploring Kaleici's old quarter with its narrow streets and wooden houses, or book optional day tours through your hotel—Turkish baths, Aspendos, or Side are all available.

  2. Alacasu to Phaselis — Olympus

    Start your first hike from Alacasu to Phaselis, an easy introduction crossing well-preserved ruins with a theatre and baths sheltered by pine trees. Afternoon brings a second walk around Yanartas above Cirali village, where natural flames still burn on the mountainside—once used by ancient sailors for navigation.

  3. Hike through Olympos in sections. Walk from your guesthouse past a medieval tower and climbing routes to a sea cave, then back to a beach for lunch and a swim if weather allows. Continue to Olympos, an ancient 4th-century BC city, exploring as you go.

  4. Your longest hiking day: trek from Olympos to Adrasan across Musa Mountain through pine forest with glimpses of turquoise beaches below. Steep climbs reward you with stunning views and a picnic lunch. Finish in the seaside village of Adrasan, just five minutes from the beach.

  5. Recover with a leisurely morning, then drive to hike the relaxed route to Gelidonya Lighthouse, built in 1934 and perched above the Mediterranean with island views. Return the same way. Afternoon includes visits to Myra ancient city, the Museum of Lycian Civilizations, and Simena, finishing with lunch at a local spot.

  6. Walk to Aperlai Ancient City, a former Roman trading hub with standing stone gates and two bath ruins. Explore the crumbling walls, then lunch locally. Afternoon free to shop or relax by the seaside in Simena.

  7. Your final full hiking day begins with Delikkemer, an early Roman aqueduct, followed by lunch in Sidyma village. Explore Sidyma Ancient City on Mount Cragus's southern slope, then descend leisurely as the sun sets over the Mediterranean to a turquoise beach. Tonight's accommodation sits in greenery with sea views; join a yoga class or gather for dinner with your group.

  8. Fethiye — Kayakoy

    Drive to Fethiye with scenic stops at Kayakoy and Oludeniz to savour your final moments. Your Lycian trek ends here. Arrange drop-off to the airport, city centre, or your hotel.
