The seashore, village and mountain paths of the Lycian Trail,
stretching from Fethiye to Antalya, once linked the ancient
cities of the Lycia people. This trail holds the secrets and
mysteries of 3000 years of Lycian civilization (2500BC-600AD).
As you walk along the trail, you’ll see startling panoramic
views, original cave dwellings, city remains (Lycian, Roman,
and Byzantine), and fascinating rock-cut tombs (dating from
5th Century B. C. to the Roman period), and semi-nomadic
villages. The Lycian country is best traveled in the spring
and autumn. Ancient roads and mountain paths make the journey
easier, although it can be difficult, and in many places the
magnificent view is a splendid reward for the challenging
climb. Experience a unique part of Turkey. Walk as the Lycians
did, feel the richness of their history, touch the magic of
their civilization, and see the wonderful natural beauty of
the Lycian Trail where mountains caress the sea.
