We present to your attention a new interesting program hiking the Lycian Way. The route passes through its western part along the Mediterranean coast. On this section of the route there are cozy rocky bays, beautiful deserted beaches with clear turquoise water, ancient monuments of the Lycian civilization.
That is why this part of the Lycian Way is considered the most beautiful. The climate is distinguished by its mildness, for which these places are also called the “Turkish Riviera”. The temperature does not fall below + 8 even in winter, so the bravest will be able to swim.
The route does not have difficult sections or large elevation changes. So the program is perfect even for inexperienced tourists. In addition, we will not have to carry huge supplies of provisions, water and other things. There are many small villages scattered throughout the route, where you can always buy everything you need.
