Itinerary

Day 1

Today, you’ll hike 15 kilometers from Demre to Kaleucagiz. Before you set out, you have the option to visit the ancient city of Myra, where you’ll walk among impressive Lycian rock tombs and a grand Roman theatre that echoes with centuries of history.
The hike along the coastal path is relatively easy, with a few gentle climbs and descents.
Shortly after the first third of the hike, you’ll reach a quiet pebble beach, the perfect spot to pause for lunch, dip your feet in the sea, or enjoy a swim in the clear water.
For a bit of extra adventure, you can paddle a self-guided canoe up a quiet creek and spot giant turtles along the way. Accommodation Kaleucagiz Guest House

Day 2

Today, you’ll hike from Kaleüçağız to Üzüm İskelesi, with two route options depending on your pace and comfort level.
1 Hike + transfer: 15 km hike to the village of Boğazcık, followed by a 30-minute transfer to Üzüm İskelesi. This route offers a full day of walking without being too demanding.
2 Full hike: If you're an experienced hiker and comfortable around large shepherd dogs (often seen between Boğazcık and Üzüm İskelesi), you can take on the full 20 km hike all the way to the coast.

Either way, you’ll pass the ruins of Apollonia and Aperlae, ancient Lycian cities surrounded by olive trees, sea views, and peaceful landscapes. It’s a day filled with history, nature, and the quiet beauty of the Mediterranean. Accommodation Kaş Boutique hotel

Day 3

This stretch of the hike offers stunning sea views throughout and a total ascent of 450 meters. You’ll follow rocky trails with the turquoise sea always in sight. There’s even a chance to take a refreshing swim at a wild, secluded spot — perfect for those up for a bit of adventure.

You have two route options:
1
Hike + Boat (9 km): hike along the rugged coastline, then take a short boat ride into Kaş — a relaxed way to finish the journey while skipping the final urban section.
2
Full Hike (13 km): Walk the full 13 km all the way to Kaş. This option takes you into town on foot, offering a satisfying conclusion to your trek.

Day 4

Your day begins with a pick-up at 9:00 AM from your hotel in Fethiye or Kaş. After approximately 1hr. 20m. drive, you’ll arrive at the trailhead, ready to start your adventure.

Karadere to Gey Village
Today’s route takes you 14 kilometers from Karadere to Gey, with a total ascent of 700 meters. The trail climbs steadily through pine forests and open hillsides, rewarding you with breathtaking sea views to your left for much of the way. As you gain elevation, the coastline stretches out below—remote, wild, and unforgettable.
The path is a mix of rugged tracks and peaceful mountain trails, leading you into the quiet village of Gey, perched high above the sea. For those looking to end the day in style, there’s an option to upgrade to a boutique hotel with panoramic sea views—the perfect reward after a day on the trail.Accommodation  Gey / Faralya Area  Boutique hotel

Day 5

14-kilometer hike with an ascent of 350 meters and a descent of 650 meters. Along the way, you’ll visit the ancient city of Sidyma, nestled in the foothills. Once an important Lycian settlement, Sidyma offers a peaceful and atmospheric stop with its scattered sarcophagi and overgrown ruins—perfect for a break and a quiet walk through history.
Upgrading your accommodation for this night is recommended if you plan to take the coastal path the following day, as the upgraded option is more conveniently located near the trailhead.
If you choose the default accommodation, you can either hike back 2.5 km to rejoin the trail or take a short transfer from the hotel in the morning.

Day 6

There are two main route options to suit your pace and preference:
The easier mountain route (9 km) follows a gentler path inland, with stunning views of the coastline from above and the chance to take a detour for a refreshing waterfall visit.

The coastal route (also 9 km) is more challenging, with steep descents and rocky sections, but it rewards you with access to three secluded beaches along the way—perfect for a dip and a rest in the shade of the pines.
For the adventurous, there’s a third option: a 15 km combination of both trails, giving you the best of both worlds—mountain views, hidden beaches, and a rich variety of terrain all in one unforgettable day.Accommodation Kabak  Boutique hotel

Day 7

The trail takes you from the peaceful Kabak village to the famous Ölüdeniz Beach, covering up to 17 kilometres with a total ascent of 700 meters. You will pass village of Faralya, then hike towards Babadağ Mountain. From high above, you’ll get unforgettable panoramic views of Ölüdeniz Lagoon—a picture-perfect reward before descending to the beach below.
For those who prefer a shorter hike, there is an option to reduce the distance to around 9 km, by arranging a taxi a bit further. Whether you take on the full challenge or opt for a more relaxed version, today’s hike promises one of the most scenic days on the trail.
As you arrive in Oludeniz, your hike comes to a peaceful and memorable finish — the perfect end to a truly special adventure along the Lycian Way.
If you’re not staying in Ölüdeniz after the tour, our transfer will take you to central Fethiye, either to your hotel or the main bus station, depending on your onward plans. If you’d prefer a direct transfer to the airport, just let us know—we’ll be happy to arrange it for you.
