The Lycian Way is a 535-kilometer-long hiking trail that starts in Fethiye and ends in Geyikbayırı, Antalya. It is an ideal route for those curious about breathtaking nature, ancient cities, and the unique bays of the Mediterranean. It is also ranked among the top 10 hiking trails in the world.
The trail is divided into seven stages and is usually hiked in spring or autumn due to favorable weather conditions.
