The Lycian Way (Turkish: Likya Yolu) is a marked long-distance hiking trail in southwestern Turkey around part of the coast of ancient Lycia.[1] It is approximately 760 km (470 mi) in length and stretches from Hisarönü (Ovacık), near Fethiye, to Aşağı Karaman in Konyaaltı, about 20 km (12 mi) from Antalya. It is waymarked with red and white stripes of the GR footpath convention.
The trail, which was conceived by Briton Kate Clow, takes its name from the ancient civilization that once ruled the region.[2]
