We have been exploring the Lycian Way for several years and have fallen in love with its varied landscapes and historical richness. The highest elevation we will cross is roughly 1,800 meters. On our previous trip, we met locals who offered us incredible hospitality, and we look forward to reconnecting with them.
This is a guided but self-supported backpacking trip, not suitable for holiday seekers or those without multi-day backpacking experience. Those willing to get prepared and learn the skill of backpacking may train with us and join.

The Lycian Way is a long-distance footpath in Turkey, stretching along the coast of Lycia, an ancient region in southwestern Turkey. It is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world. The trail runs from Fethiye to Antalya, covering a diverse range of landscapes from rugged coastlines and pine forests to ancient ruins and charming villages. Our path goes along the eastern part of the trail.
