Lycian Way Hike · Recommended tour · 7 days
The same beautiful trail as our five-day Kaş trek, with more room to breathe. Arrive at your own pace, walk the Sleeping Giant ridge, hidden beaches and the half-sunken city of Aperlai, cross the bay of Kekova by boat, and spend an unhurried day among the rock tombs of Myra before you head home.

Day by day
Your guide meets you at Dalaman Airport, or in Fethiye, and takes you to Kaş. There is nothing planned today, so arrive whenever suits you and enjoy a first evening by the harbour.
Overnight in Kaş
After a briefing on the trail, a warm-up hike leads from the village of Çukurbağ across open plateaus to the ridge of the Sleeping Giant, with the whole of Kaş below. Walk down into town, visit the ancient theatre of Antiphellos and watch the sunset over the sea.
