The Lycian Way

The path starts right from the vicinity of Fethiye Olu Deniz, one of the most famous beaches in Turkey, but many people choose to abandoned their first evening in the ruins Kayakoy, a Greek village in the 20s and remain today a museum. From there walk on and around the headland for great views down to the beach - seen, as do the gliders.


Before reaching Faralya, you will pass on the hillside offers a glimpse into fiord-like Butterfly Valley, the breeding ground of the Leopard Butterfly. Kaback beach is an optional detour ... Then it's along the cliffs through the villages and Alinca Gey to the remote fortress Pydnai, whose ancient walls overlooking the beautiful golden sand dunes of Patara Beach. The ruins of Xanthos, the ancient Lycian capital is achieved through Kınık Akbelen and from there is a detour for Gelemiş village and the ruins of Patara. From these ruins of a Roman aqueduct, the route follows Delikkemer.

Kale, on some maps as Demre, lies near the ruins of Myra. Walking them is in the path of the Church of the Angel Gabriel in the hills above Myra, but as you get closer to the huge Roman theater is located behind the red rocks out interspersed Lycian tombs carved disclosed. Demre / Kale is also the city where Santa was born.

Pass Kutluca, Zeytin and Alakilise embraced mostly on the coast, which is a mixture of rocky and sandy bays to reach here, the highlight of the route - the literal: 1811 meters at İncegeriş T. Leaving Belus, is one of the most scenic stretches along an edge, top to Finike, then it indicates Kumluca Mavikenic and its view of pine restrict the sight of Cape Gelidonia and the famous lighthouse is flooded, until you're almost upon them and it is dramatically unveiled.

After the lighthouse on the road hugs the coast again, so precarious in some places you can peer into the hidden coves below, there it continues in the direction Adrasan and the Bay of Adrasan, which secured a 2 km long sandy beach of pines has. After the beach to break the line gets steeper up to position the flanks of Musa Dag (Moses Mountain), but the view of Mount Olympos, is worth the effort.
