The Lycian Way is a long-distance hiking trail in southern Turkey, spanning between 540 and 760 kilometers. It stretches from Fethiye to Antalya and is celebrated for its stunning landscapes, historical landmarks, and diverse plant life.
Established by Kate Clow in 1999, the Lycian Way was created to preserve Turkey’s ancient pathways and showcase the region’s rich historical tapestry. The trail traverses areas once inhabited by the Lycians, a people known for their democratic governance, artistic achievements, and strategic maritime trade. The region later came under Greek and Roman influence.
To access the Lycian Way, fly into either Dalaman or Antalya airports. From Dalaman, you can take a bus or taxi to Fethiye, which marks the trail’s starting point. Public transportation is conveniently available along the route.
While the Lycian Way itself does not require tickets, some historical sites along the trail may have entrance fees. It’s recommended to check local information for specific sites like Letoon or Myra.
