The Lycian Way (Likya
Yolu) is a 500-kilometer (311-mile)
footpath from Fethiye to Antalya, the
impressive achievement of Kate
Clow, a Briton resident
in Turkey.
The marked trail wanders
up and down through ancient
Lycia, Mediterranean
Turkey's mountainous Tekke
Peninsula (the southward "bulge" of
land between Antalya and Fethiye).
The trek is rated as moderately
strenuous to difficult,
with the easier portion being nearest
to Fethiye and Ölüdeniz.
Among the most popular portions
is the westernmost, from Fethiye via Ölüdeniz, Butterfly
Valley and the Tohum
Eco-Center southeastward toward Patara.
There are few lodging and
dining services along the
route. For most of it you must carry
your own shelter, food and other
supplies, which makes it ideal
for those who like to rough it.
For more info, buy Kate's guidebook to
the trail (see the Trekking
in Turkey website for purchasing
information). Her new project, by the
way, is the St
Paul Trail, which has
its own guidebook as
well.

The dramatic
beauty of the Lycian
countryside doesn't
always make it easy to hike....
