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.
