Lycian Way at the Top of the World: The Legendary Route Extending from Fethiye to Antalya Chosen as Number One
The historic Lycian Way, extending from the Fethiye district of Muğla to Antalya, has achieved great international success. Chosen as the "World's Most Beautiful Hiking Trail" by Time Out, one of the world's leading travel publications, the Lycian Way has once again made a name for itself worldwide with its unique nature, ancient cities, and breathtaking views extending to the Mediterranean.
The approximately 540-kilometer trail starts from Ovacık Neighborhood in Fethiye and extends to Geyikbayırı in Antalya. The route, built on historic roads connecting the cities of the ancient Lycian civilization, welcomes thousands of local and foreign nature lovers every year.
The Route Where History and Nature Meet
The Lycian Way stands out as a special route where thousands of years of history and the unique natural beauties of the Mediterranean intertwine, beyond just being a hiking trail. Along the hike, Turkey's most important tourism destinations such as Ölüdeniz, Butterfly Valley, Kabak Bay, Patara Ancient City, Kaş, Demre, and Olympos can be explored.
Ancient theaters, rock tombs, historic paths, and crystal-clear bays offer hikers an unforgettable experience both culturally and visually.
A Unique 30-40 Day Adventure
For those who want to hike the entire Lycian Way, the trail can be completed in an average of 30 to 40 days.
