TRECKING - LYCIANWAYT

Walking along nomadic trails and ancient Lycian paths is the best way to see the floral richness of Fethiye. The Lycian Way starts at Babadag Mountain in Ovaclk Village.

You will pass tiny mountain villages with friendly, semi-nomadic people. This year, take the path from Fethiye to Kas and pass Faralya Village and the ancient cities of Pmara, Letoon and Xanthos on your way. Next year go from Fethiye to Marmaris and see the ancient city of Caunos and beautiful Turtle Beach. The Lycian Way offers unique, spectacular views that can only be glimpsed on foot..
