Lycian Way Trekking Tour From Kaş

A Journey in the Footsteps of Ancient Cities

Lycian Way Trekking Tour from Kaş – Tour Programme

Lycia is the ancient name of the Teke Peninsula, located between Antalya and Fethiye along Turkey’s southern coast. The name Lycia derives from the Hittite word “Lukka,” meaning “Land of Light.” With more than 300 sunny days a year, Lycia truly lives up to its name.

The Lycian Way is a long-distance trekking route formed by ancient Roman, Seljuk, and Ottoman paths, goat trails, and forest roads. Stretching approximately 540 km along the Mediterranean coast, it is ranked among the top 10 long-distance walking routes in the world.

This tour program has been carefully designed by selecting the most scenic and popular sections of the Lycian Way, offering an unforgettable combination of nature, sea, history, and trekking.
