Lycian Way

The Lycian Way (Turkish: Likya Yolu) is a marked long-distance hiking trail in southwestern Turkey around part of the coast of ancient Lycia. As of 2023, it is approximately 760 km in length and stretches from Hisarönü (Ovacık), near Fethiye, to Aşağı Karaman in Konyaaltı, about 20 km (12 mi) from Antalya. It is waymarked with red and white stripes of the GR footpath convention. The trail, which was conceived in 1989 by Briton Kate Clow and opened in 1999 as 509 kilometre (316 mi) long, takes its name from the ancient civilization that once ruled the region. An inscription translated in 1994 mentions the region. The view of Gelidonya Lighthouse on the trail was chosen as the most beautiful view of Turkey in 2007.
