Taking its name from Lycia, which means Country of Light, the route lies along the Mediterranean coastline, passing through natural beauties like Fethiye, Oludeniz, Butterfly Valley, Kabak Bay and Yediburunlar, as well as Patara, one of the world\u2019s longest beaches. Kalkan, Kas, Kekova, Demre, Finike and Korsan Bay are along the route, as is Gelidonya, with the (Cape Taslik) Lighthouse, selected the most beautiful lighthouse in T\u00fcrkiye. It continues through Adrasan Bay and the 1,800-meter Tahtal\u0131 Da\u011f\u0131 \u2013 also known as the Lycian Olympos and the highest summit \u00a0in Turkish and European coastline \u2013 and Tekirova, Kesme Bogaz, Goynuk Canyon and Goynuk as well as many ancient cities. The track follows the coastline, meandering over steep slopes and through beaches and harbors, plateaus and forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity

first walking route in T\u00fcrkiye to feature the international sign system and is among the top 10 walking tracks worldwide. So don\u2019t worry, you won\u2019t get lost. In the 1990s, studies carried out by Kate Clow resulted in pathways being mapped and marked with red-white lines. In addition to the Grande Randonnee system are&nbsp; yellow directional signs on the intersections. Trekkers can also benefit from the GPS coordinates prepared by other walkers and, of course, from the usual mapping apps.&nbsp; However, the Lycian Way is clearly marked. As well, the local people are quite supportive of the walker. Feel free to inquire about fresh local products or overnight stays: residents are accustomed to Lycian Way trekkers and always helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to start?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important question for novices is where to start. As noted, the starting segment begins from Fethiye Oludeniz and ends around Geyikbayiri, 20 km from Antalya. Or, you can start from any point along the Lycian Way and select an ending point depending on how much time you have. In general, trekking the entire route takes between 25 and 40 days; you can set a route according to your own schedule. Route suggestions can be found at the end of this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which season is best?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Backpacker opening his arms to the sunset\" class=\"wp-image-18084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/man-camping-on-a-hill-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the mild climate of the Mediterranean region, winters are not too cold. The summer months, on the other hand, may be too hot. The most beautiful periods for walking the Lycian Way are spring and autumn; most people choose April to June or September to November, when the weather is at its best and most conducive for both walking, sightseeing, enjoying the ancient cities along the route, the nature and the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to bring?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on how you\u2019re traveling.
