Likya Trekking Path
The Lycian Way is a walking route created by marking and mapping some of the paths on the Teke peninsula, which was called Lycia in history, starting from Fethiye and extending to Antalya. The Lycian Way is a long-distance trail in a part of the ancient Lycian coast in southwestern Turkey. The length of the Lycian Way is more than 500 kilometers. This road starts from Hisarönü, near Fethiye, Ovacık and goes to Konyaaltı, Geyikbayırı, about 20 km from Antalya. The road is marked with red and white road lines. The Lycian Way, the work of which started in 1992, was designed by the British Kate Clow living in Turkey and was put into service by Kate Clow in 1999. The road is named after the ancient civilization that once ruled the area. Located near Patara Port and founded in 1994 by Prof. Dr. An inscription called Stadiasmus Patarensis translated by Sencer Şahin states that Lycia was a Roman province in 43 AD and lists 69 roads and 53 cities in the region. It is cited by various sources as one of the top 10 long-distance hiking routes in the world. The view of Gelidonya Lighthouse on the track was chosen as the most beautiful view of Turkey in 2007. In addition, the first underwater excavation in the world, where a whole ship could be excavated, was carried out in the American Bay, which can be seen from this region.
