The Lycian Way:
The Lycian Way begins near Oludeniz and ends just before Antalya, taking in choice mountain landscapes and seascapes en route. It follows 500 kms of ancient footpaths and mule roads that linked the villages of the Turquoise Coast.

What really distinguishes this walk is it`s intimate, almost careless relationship with history. Lycia, in particular enjoyed a period os ascendancy and unique culture before falling into the hands of Alexander the Great`s successors and then the Romans.

Later, Arabs, Crusaders and Genoese established themselves.

Traces of all these hands are visible still, and nowhere more so than along this path, their romance and charm enhanced by the old stones lying naturally among the scrub and goat pastures.

Tombs just out of mule tilled fields, sections of columns are stacked in the hedges.

There are castles, harbours, forts and lots of vernacular monuments too: sheepfolds and cobbled mule tracks, where the herders take their flocks and where the peasants repair for coolnes in the summer.
