LYCIAN WAY TREKKING
The Lycian Way is rapidly becoming one of Turkey’s most popular routes for trekking enthusiasts. It already has the distinction of being listed by the Sunday Times as one of the top ten walks in the world. The 500-kilometre trail has a long history as a trading route but was opened as an official way-marked route for trekking in 1999 under the careful supervision of Kate Clow. Sponsorship from Garanti Bank, one of Turkey’s largest banking companies, ensures that the paths are always well marked and regularly maintained.The geological sub structure of most of the trail is limestone, and with many steep gradients and stony areas is a challenge for all but the fittest walker to undertake in one go.
