Lycian Way: From the Summit of Mount Olympos to Gelidonya Lighthouse (Departing from Ankara) hakkında.

The southern region of Anatolia, known as the Lycian coast, awaits us with a blend of natural beauty and history. The Lycian Way, Turkey’s first long-distance hiking trail, stretches between Antalya and Fethiye. Covering approximately 550 km, this marked trail passes through some of the most scenic and trekking-friendly areas in the region. Since completing the entire Lycian Way in one go is quite a demanding and lengthy journey, visitors usually explore its most captivating sections or opt for long-term travel plans, walking different parts over time.

In this specially designed tour, we have crafted a short yet immersive itinerary, showcasing some of the most stunning parts of the Lycian Way. Our route extends from Ulupınar to Karaöz, passing through breathtaking natural formations. For those who prefer, there is also an option to ascend Tahtalı (Olympos) Mountain, the highest point in the region at 2,365 meters.

This tour will take you through pine forests, ancient city trails, alpine zones above 2,000 meters, and the picturesque Mediterranean coast. You may have seen the region’s magnificent landscapes before, but this time, we invite you to become part of them and truly experience their beauty.

From mountain passes offering panoramic views of the entire region to trails that dive into forests and emerge at lighthouses by the sea—this short yet fulfilling tour has it all. Designed for both excitement and relaxation, this adventure is tailored just for you.
