Lycian Way
Highlights
Hike the coastal sections of one of the world's best long-distance trails, offering epic views of the Mediterranean.
Hiking the Path of the Ancients
The Lycian Way is a 540km hiking trail, and the section around Kaş is arguably one of its most scenic. Walking these ancient paths, you pass through olive groves, hidden ruins, and dramatic clifftops overlooking the turquoise sea. It is the ultimate way to experience the raw nature and history of the Lycian coast at a slower, more mindful pace.
What Makes It Special
- Coastal Vistas: Unmatched views of the archipelago and the rugged Mediterranean coastline.
- Hidden Ruins: The trail leads you past small, unvisited tombs and walls that most tourists never see.
- Nature Connection: Experience the scent of wild thyme and the silence of the Taurus foothills.
Visitor Tips
The best hiking months are April-May and October-November. Always carry plenty of water and use the "Lycian Way" markers (yellow and red). Start early to avoid the midday sun even in the shoulder seasons.
