LYCIAN WAY

One of the red and white striped waymarks along the Lycian Way.The Lycian Way is the first long-distance footpath in Turkey.

It is 500 km long and stretches from Fethiye to Antalya, around part of the coast of ancient Lycia.
It is waymarked with red and white stripes, the Grande Randonnee convention.

The path follows the 1500 mt. high Tahtali mountain with a route winds along mule paths on steep hillsides overlooking the depths of the sea - turqoise in the shadows, indigo or deep green further out.

Tiny gulets chug past far below, birds (or even paragliders) wheel far above.

Cyclamen and other bulbs peep from dark corners; the scent of thyme fills the air. Villagers live a laid back life, farming honey and herbs, following the goats to pasture or working in the holiday villages of Fethiye.
