_TLycian Way 🇹🇷 520 km | Thru-hike | Türkiye, Lycia all info 👇
Meet one of the most beautiful coastal trails; it has even been named as the best hiking trail in the world by some papers this year! 🤩
The Lycian Way is a historic hiking route of 520 kilometers that treks along Turkey’s southwestern coastline, all the way from Oludeniz, near Fethiye to Geyikbayiri, to close by Antalya. With views of the turquoise coast peeking through the whole time, the route crosses through pine forests, olive groves, farmland, and rocky cliffs. It takes approximately 28 days to complete in its entirety, so this is a challenging long-distance trail, definitely worth it.
🏕️ Wild camping in Turkey is permitted anywhere on land that isn’t private, terrain permitting. You don’t need to stay at a designated campsite, though there are a few dotted along the way if you’d like to take advantage of them (and their facilities!)
The best time to hike the Lycian Way is from March through May. Avoid the summer months, they are notoriously too hot for hiking; often over 40 degrees celsius 🥵
