A memory in every step. Our testimonials Read some of our repeat customers feedback William Ali My wife and I each separately had small slips on the trail, but both times the guides ensured our well-being before continuing – outside of hurt pride, we were fine. Though both of us really spent a lot of time preparing for the tour by hiking regularly, I think I would have been helped by a little leg strength training, but otherwise the hiking was fairly easy, even with (optional) multiple hikes during a single day. The guides always provided options for those that chose not to do a particular hike or a shorter one. I recommend this tour and would happily take another LW tour. Liam P. The hospitality of the locals was exceptional, with warm smiles and genuine kindness greeting us at every turn. Whether indulging in delicious local cuisine at charming eateries or resting our weary legs in cozy accommodations, every moment was filled with warmth and hospitality. Hugo H. We have been on many LW trips, and this was one of the best. The lodging, meals and walks were excellent, and genuinely reflected the spirit and history of the Turkish Highlands. Our guides were fantastic, with each contributing their unique skills and observations to the group. They were very knowledgable, very good communicators, and very efficient. There was little time wasted on this trip. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

Stretching over 540 kilometers, this remarkable route is marked to Grand Randonnée (GR) standards and is managed by the Culture Routes Society in Antalya. Recognized as one of the world’s top 10 trekking routes, the Lycian Way has inspired other notable projects, including the St. Paul Trail, Carian Trail, and Hittite Trail.

Weather & Month-by-Month Guide - Published: 2025-04-17 - Modified: 2025-04-26 - URL: https://lycianwalk.com/when-is-the-best-time-to-walk-the-lycian-way/ - Categories: Lycian Way “The route changes with the seasons. You’ll never walk the same trail twice. ”— Kate Clow, creator of the Lycian Way She’s right. This path doesn’t just stretch across geography. It stretches across time. One month it smells of wild thyme and fresh rain. Another, it echoes with cicadas and the crunch of dry pine needles underfoot. Hiking the Lycian Way isn’t about finding the perfect time. It’s about choosing your moment — when the trail matches the pace you’re after, the weather you can handle, and the kind of magic you're hoping to find. Why Timing Matters on the Lycian Way The Lycian Way doesn’t feel the same in every season. Spring brings wildflowers and cool mornings. Summer turns up the heat. Autumn slows things down with golden light. Winter? Quiet, green, sometimes misty. Spanning over 500 km from Fethiye to Hisarönü, the trail ranges from sea level to 1,800 meters, meaning altitude plays a big role. Coastal paths bask in Mediterranean warmth, while mountain sections like Tahtalı Dağı face cooler, windier conditions. Your timing affects more than the weather, it changes how far you can walk, what’s open, and even who you meet along the trail. Month-by-Month Guide to Lycian Way Weather and Hiking Conditions Not every month on the Lycian Way feels the same. Some offer cool air and wildflowers, others bring heat, crowds, or quiet winter skies. In this section, you'll find what each month is really like — weather, trail conditions, and tips from the... --- ### Where Does the Lycian Way Start and End? A Precise Guide for Hikers - Published: 2025-03-27 - Modified: 2025-04-26 - URL: https://lycianwalk.com/lycian-way-starting-and-ending-point/ - Categories: Lycian Way Let’s say you’ve got your boots, your pack, and your route picked out. But before the Lycian Way reveals its coastlines and ruins, there’s a simple question to answer: where does it all begin—and where does it finish? The Lycian Way covers over 500 kilometers across southwestern Turkey. Its start point sits in the hills above Ölüdeniz; its ending point lies somewhere beyond Antalya, depending on the route you follow. In this guide, I’ll walk you through both ends of the trail, explain the differences, and help you choose the right direction for your walk. The Official Starting Point of the Lycian Way For anyone planning to walk the Lycian Way, one question always comes first: Where exactly does it begin? The official start point of the Lycian Way is located in the quiet village of Ovacık, just a short drive from Fethiye in Muğla Province. This is the designated start point of the Lycian Way trail, recognized on official maps and signposted in the field. The first red-and-white trail markings appear near the entrance to the village and lead directly into pine-covered foothills. The route begins with a steady climb toward Kozağaç, offering wide views of the Ölüdeniz Lagoon and Babadağ Mountain. This opening section, though not technically difficult, quickly moves hikers into a quieter, more rugged landscape—one that reflects the character of the trail ahead. Where Is the Lycian Way Start Point Located?
