Lycian Way Explore the Trails!

Global Tourism - Ayse Gul - Unbeatable Company We were a group of 11 Canadian women between 65 -72 years old who walked Lycian Way in mid-October to Nov. 6. I had found Ayse’s company’s website a year ago and she and I communicated regularly over a year to customize an itinerary that would allow us to see the best parts of the Lycian Way, while continuing to travel eastward towards Antalya. She was so accommodating, incredibly diligent and creative in ensuring we felt safe yet challenged on the trail. Our itinerary was varied and included rest and sight seeing days to give our bodies and legs a rest when needed. Ayse’s choice of accommodations were perfect and it was clear she had close connections with the small local innkeepers who took care of us during our stays.  Read More...

We enjoyed a fantastic 30 days hiking the Lycian Way We enjoyed a wonderful hike of the whole Lycian Way starting in April 2025. Ayşe Gul of Lycian Walk was essential in planning the details of our trip by organizing transportation where necessary, and booking all our accommodation. She customized our walk for us and added rest- and sight-seeing days as we wished. We even spent a few days at her house during part of the hike where we were looked after beautifully by Ayşe and her partner; with very interesting conversation, delicious food, and musical entertainment. Another of the great joys of the trip was the diversity of accommodations she had found for us, which provided memorable insight into Turkish life.  Read More...

Lycian Way We recently completed a hiking holiday with Lycian Walks, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Ayse’s communication before the trip was prompt and clear. The Lycian Way was stunning — breathtaking coastal views, great forest trails, ancient ruins tucked away on mountain paths. Accommodation and meals exceeded our expectations. Each guesthouse was clean and comfortable, and food terrific. Most of all, Ayse’s attention to detail and genuine care stood out. She checked in regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly and was quick to help with any questions or concerns we had.  Read More...

Ayse the Capable and Friendly Organiser Ayse the organiser was always on call and willing to change my walking plans, when after a very strenuous I wanted a rest day or stay over in a particularly interesting spot. The Lycian Way route is challenging and often poorly marked Ayse alway sent the rout via Wickiloc and responded to any queries. Her choice of accommodation is good using local premises and products. If you are very fortunate, you may have the opportunity to stay at Ayse’s home and experience the warm atmosphere and lovely food. I first commenced walking the Lycian in 2024 (14 days) and spent another 14 days April/May of 2025.  Read More...

The Lycian Way I found this is a very challenging but amazing hike, the organisation and support from Ayşe was excellent. She planned our itinerary to fit in with our timeframe and was always available to answer questions or assist us when there were any problems, eg our accommodation was changed one day because she had received negative feedback about our intended destination for the night, new accommodation and transportation were arranged for us. As the walk is in rural Türkiye she was able to communicate with our hosts and resolve any issues or concerns. I had an injury and she organised transportation to our next destination which was extremely helpful.  Read More...

Unbelievable Wrap Around Support From the time we arrived in Fethiye till we departed from Antalya, Ayse Gul & Lycian Walk had our best interests at heart. Every day she contacted us with the next days route and asked how we were and if we needed to change anything or wanted anything. It was like having a “Mother” every day on our 480Km trek. The support and guidance was outstanding and all the Guest House owners knew who Ayse Gul was, so it was like a large family trip which made everything easy, and it all went like clockwork.

Picturesque villages and wonderful Turkish hospitality I searched online for a reputable tour operator for my planned hike of of Lycian Way, South West Turkey. There are a number operators based in Europe that cover this destination but I was specifically looking for one based in Turkey and came across Lycian Walk. This family run business provides a very friendly service with expert knowledge of Lycian Way. I was treated as a member of the family with the wonderful experience starting at the airport and continuing throughout. They organised the hike plan down to every detail and provided maps and transport, very comfortable hotel stays along the way and great Turkish cuisine. Read More...

I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable family adventure.  Read More...
