Walk the Lycian Way

The ideal seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). Summer is too hot for comfortable hiking, and some high sections may have snow in deep winter. October and April are particularly beautiful, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds.

It varies greatly by section. Coastal stretches are relatively easy, while mountain sections involve steep ascents and rocky terrain. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended. Our Highlights Trek and Weekend Escape are suitable for most active people; the Full Trail requires good endurance.

Sturdy hiking boots, layered clothing, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), a refillable water bottle, a lightweight rain jacket, and a basic first-aid kit. For guided tours, we provide a detailed packing list upon booking. Luggage transfers mean you only carry a daypack.

Depending on your chosen package, accommodation ranges from family-run pensions and village guesthouses to boutique hotels. On the Full Trail, some nights are spent in treehouses or simple mountain lodges. All accommodation is clean, comfortable, and authentically Turkish.

Our standard guided groups have a maximum of 12 people, ensuring a personal experience on the trail. Private tours can be arranged for any group size — from solo travellers to corporate teams of 30+.

Yes, comprehensive travel insurance that covers hiking activities is mandatory for all our guided tours. We recommend policies that include emergency evacuation cover. We can suggest suitable providers upon request.

We require a 15% deposit to secure your booking, payable by card via our secure Stripe checkout. This deposit is deducted from your total trip cost when you arrive. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your departure date. Please note that deposits are non-refundable, but can be transferred to an alternative date with at least 60 days' notice.
