                                                  The Lycian way, part 2

Six stages from  this long distance trail, between the cities of Fethiye and Antalya, in the south west of the country. Here you can find more information about how to come there, accommodation, maps, tips, advice and possibilities for assistance from a local travel organisation.

April 2009: 6 stages from the Lycian Way. The trail was very well marked, probably new white-red painting by Kate Clow and her assistants. This part is, in contrast of part 1, more going inland and gets up to about 1900 meters. The track at day day 6 follows cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean and the islands, including the lighthouse, almost the symbol of the Lycian-way.

Day 1: Hisançandir - Göynük

After a steady climb a long descend to Göynük,  through woodlands.

Day 2: Göynük - Göynük Yala

Day 5: Çirali - Adrasan

The track follows the ruins of Olympos, a steady climb after and offers great panorama’s.

Day 6: Adrasan - Molanippo
