Eastern Lycian Way
Mediterranean Turkey
You can join our epic adventure on Eastern part of Lycian Way. The Lycian Way (Turkish: Likya Yolu) is a marked long-distance trail in southwestern Turkey around part of the coast of ancient Lycia.
‌The whole way is about 540 km. We’ll cover roughly 200 km of the distance or so-called Eastern Lycian Way starting from Kuzdere and around Olympos (Tahtali) mountain passing Ovacik, Gedelme, Beycik, Cirali, Tekirova and Camyuva. ‌We’ll visit one of the Licain cities named Phaselis, Bizanthene castle in Gedelme, 2000-year old trees and caves, breathtaking panoramas of wild bays and rocky forests. We’ll cross Tahtali mountain at 2000m high point and experience 3 climate zones within one day.

We offer the full package for 7 or 8 days to discover this famous trekking route on horseback. In some places we will meet local people and tourists, some sections are open for backpackers only.

Fun facts:
‌Lycia was a region on the Western Taurus Mountains in Teke Peninsula at southwestern Anatolia on the Mediterranean Sea coast, located in what are today the provinces Muğla and Antalya. According to historians, Lycian people lived in the prehistoric Late Bronze Age. They built city-states along the Mediterranean Sea coast and formed the Lycian League. ‌Thanks to their strategic location, they had best opportunities for sea trade and even piracy. In later times, the region of Lycia was occupied by the Persian Empire, Ancient Greece, and then controlled by Ancient Rome, Byzantine Empire, Seljuk Empire, and finally the Ottoman Empire. Rock-cut tombs on cliff walls and sarcophagi in the region testify to the Lycian civilization.
