Lycian Way GPS and waypoints

We went for 9 days along the Lycian Way in May of this year from Ovacik and ends at Myra. Some bits we took a dolmus and some bits we walked sections in reverse order. Hike is from Ovacik to the book and map is not particularly easy. The markers are difficult to detect fairly regularly, some sections were changed due to new agricultural buildings, new roads of villages, landslides, etc. A section, we went in reverse was difficult as it is very difficult to read the thick descriptions in reverse. However, it is still feasible. By the way just about everyone we met Kate's book found less than easy to follow - in fact, too much description and not clear enough route guidance. The card is not large and contains errors. We used a GPS and found it very helpful.


The sections we did not stay out in Kalkan, which was very touristy. We saw very few hikers every day - maybe 1 or 2 days and a total of hikers with whom we do several days in the same met a few - about 6 / 8 people in total on a number of occasions. We did with a man and walked with him for about 3 days which was great especially since it one of the evenings that we were camping included - a longitudinal distance between villages.
