Turkey's Lycian Coast

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Turkey's Lycian Coast stretches along the southwestern Aegean and Mediterranean shoreline, roughly from Fethiye to Antalya, and is named after the ancient Lycian civilization that once flourished here. The region is famed for its dramatic scenery — rugged pine-clad mountains plunging into turquoise bays, sea caves, and secluded coves accessible mainly by boat. Highlights include the sunken ruins of Kekova, the rock-cut Lycian tombs at Myra, the ghost village of Kayaköy, and the famous Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz. Travellers come for gulet cruises (the classic "Blue Voyage"), hiking the long-distance Lycian Way, snorkelling, and exploring remarkably well-preserved ancient ruins scattered throughout the landscape.

Self-Launched: Hike Turkey's Lycian Way

This self-launched version of Exodus's Lycian Way tour covers the same handpicked coastal sections — Kayaköy ghost town, Ölüdeniz lagoon views, Patara's Roman ruins, Kekova's sunken city cruise, and the eternal Chimaera flames — finishing in Antalya's old quarter. Swap the guided group for your own pace, replace private transfers with shared dolmuş minibuses and local taxis, and swap block-booked hotels for well-reviewed guesthouses and pansiyons. The Lycian Way is a well-waymarked, well-documented trail (red-and-white blazes, Kate Clow's guidebook, free GPX tracks online) making it very accessible to self-launched hikers. Estimated cost is approximately £490–£560 per person versus ~£1,190 for the Exodus tour — a saving of over 55%.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Turkey's Lycian Coast yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
