In March - April 2024 (Spring), I hiked The Lycian Way (or Likya Yolu in Turkish) from the town of Ölüdeniz (near Fethiye) to Geyikbayırı (near Antalya). There are many variations of this trail, so the total distance can vary anywhere from 400km - 700km, depending on what route(s) you decide to walk. This historic trail passes by many greco-roman ruins and popular areas such as Butterfly Valley, Patara Ancient City, the Ancient City of Olympos and Olympos Beydagları National Park. I mostly camped in my tent on this hike, with the occasional night in a hotel. I resupplied food at supermarkets in the various towns I passed through. I also ate at many restaurants and cafes along the way. I purchased bottled water at supermarkets and refilled them using the fresh water taps provided. This hike was harder than I thought it would be. While stunningly beautiful, do not underestimate the steep inclines and loose rocky parts on this trail. It truly is an amazing trail to be experienced.
