Lycian Way
The Lycian Way begins
near Oludeniz and ends just before Antalya, taking in choice mountain
landscapes and seascapes en route. It follows 500 kms of ancient
footpaths and mule roads that linked the villages of the Turquoise Coast.
What really distinguishes this walk is it`s intimate, almost careless
relationship with history. Lycia, in particular enjoyed a period os
ascendancy and unique culture before falling into the hands of Alexander
the Great`s successors and then the Romans. Later, Arabs, Crusaders and
Genoese established themselves. Traces of all these hands are visible
still, and nowhere more so than along this path, their romance and charm
enhanced by the old stones lying naturally among the scrub
