LYCIAN WAY - FROM FETHIYE to ANTALYA - SOUTHERN TURKEY - Day 5 - 509 km - 25 Days - An outstanding coastal walk through history !... A real lifetime impression of true history in southern Turkey !... The Lycian Way is a 509 km, ( 306.6 miles ) 25-day way-marked footpath around the coast of Lycia in southern Turkey, from Fethiye to Antalya... The trail consists mainly of old footpaths and mule trails, often hard and stony underfoot, not suitable for mountain bikes. Lying between the coast and mountains, it often has steep gradients. It was researched, designed and way-marked by Kate Clow, a British - Turkish amateur historian, in 1999... Turkey’s first long-distance historical walking route, it was made in order to identify and protect some of Turkey’s old roads... The start point, at Oludeniz, is 2 hours from Dalaman airport; this is the easiest part of the route. There is good public transport all along the trail and the end point is near the international airport at Antalya... Trekking is best in spring or autumn – February-May or September-November – summer in Lycian Turkey is far too hot for long walks. Except for 3 high-level sections, every night you can find accommodation in village houses, pensions or small hotels. Independent trekkers will find plenty of wild camping places with nearby the sea...
