As the summer months approach, we have all started to get excited. Some of us has already planned their summer holiday. We would like to remind Lycian Way for those who have not made their plan for the summer yet and/or for those who suddenly decide to travel somewhere at this weekend. We say ‘‘let’s run away from here’’ to this wonderful holiday route! 

If you want to spend a few days within the nature and history, you will love Lycian Way that is the first and the longest walking route in Turkey! This 509 km-long walking route stretches from Fethiye to Antalya and is recognized as one of the top 10 long-distance walking routes in the world. You will make a travel to the past on this way where you will get an opportunity to see the historical beauties of the ancient cities. 

Get ready to be captivated by the temples, theaters, home-type rock tombs, churches and many other historical sites that you will see on the paths in between seaside and mountains. It is up to you to spend as much time as you want in this region that presents you all tones of the green and blue. If you wish, you can decide on a two-day route and walk or choose a bay on this route, then spend a few days there. You can have an amazing holiday in the middle of the nature by taking your tent and sleeping bag with you. If you don’t like putting on big rucksacks and walking, staying in the tent overnight and camping, then you can choose one of the bays along the Lycian Way and stay at one of the accommodation centers there. 

This beautiful holiday route offers various alternatives for nature lovers and has many suitable options for everyone that wants to have a holiday there. If you want to explore this route by walking for hours, we recommend that you can travel there in spring and autumn months. Also, some sports such as canoe, paragliding are waiting for those who want to more alternatives instead of walking and for adrenaline seekers at various locations of this route. If you say sunbathing and swimming are enough for me, then you can refresh in the unique blue waters along the Lycian Way. 

Ölüdeniz, Kalkan, Kaş, Finike, Kemer are very popular places and the most important tourism sites in Turkey for a long time. However, the places in this region such as Olympos seaside, Kabak Bay have also started to be very popular and are visited by nature lovers frequently. 

With its tracks, Lycia presents unique beauties for those who love travelling. Even the view of Cape Gelidonya that you can see on this route was chosen as the most beautiful view in Turkey in 2007. If you go near this place, do not forget to watch this view. 

This route offers breathtaking beauties, deep blue sea water, ancient cities and historical ruins and all tones of the green and will make you have an unforgettable holiday. If you are ready to spend a few special days on the Lycian Way in this summer, let’s run away from here!
