Lycian Way (Patara–Gelemiş Section)

Its story

The Lycian Way, created by waymarking and mapping the paths of ancient Lycia, is Turkey's first long-distance hiking route. Designed by Kate Clow, the route opened in 1999 at about 509 km and, with added alternatives, now exceeds 700 km. It starts near Ovacık in Fethiye and runs to Geyikbayırı in Konyaaltı, Antalya, followed by red-and-white waymarks. The Patara–Gelemiş section, with its ancient city and long beach, is one of the most easily accessible starting points on the route.
