Self Guided Lycian Way

Self guided Lycia Week is on the east end of Lycian Way, Turkey’s first long distance walk on the southern coast marked by Kate Clow. This trip covers the Phaselis – Cape Gelidonia part of the route. This trip is superb combination of nature, history and freedom with a professional back-up where you need.

This is a self-guided trekking trip. There won’t be any guide during your trip. You will find your way by using the map and following the signs. Also, our friends in the pensions you stay will help you with the directions. You don’t need to carry your luggage; they will be carried from one pension to another while you are walking. Although there is no technical difficulty during the trek you need to be comfortable with finding your way by using the map and following the signs.

Ideal for those that enjoy walking and historical sightseeing independently.
