The seashore, village
and mountain paths of the Lycian Trail, stretching from Fethiye to Antalya,
once linked the ancient cities of the Lycia people. This trail holds the secrets and mysteries of 3000
years of Lycian civilization (2500BC-600AD). As you walk along the
trail, you’ll see startling panoramic views, original cave dwellings,
city remains (Lycian, Roman, and Byzantine), and fascinating rock-cut
tombs (dating from 5th Century B. C. to the Roman period), and semi-nomadic
villages. The Lycian country is best traveled in the spring and autumn.
Ancient roads and mountain paths make the journey easier, although it
can be difficult, and in many places the magnificent view is a
splendid reward for the challenging climb. Experience a unique part of Turkey.
Walk as the Lycians did, feel the richness of their history, touch the
magic of their civilization, and see the wonderful natural beauty of
the Lycian Trail where mountains caress the sea.
