This is a 15 days/14 nights tour starting and finishing
in Istanbul. After spending a couple of days exploring
this wonderful old city largely on foot, where Europe
meets Asia - well, sort of -we set off down the Aegean
Coast, via Gallipoli across the Dardanelles to Ephesus
and other stunning historical sites. We continue on
to that corner of the country where the Aegean meets
the Mediterranean. From then on, we’ll be doing
a lot of walking, mostly on the famous Lycian Way, rated
by the Sunday Times as one of the 10 Best Long Walks
in The World. Its paths, goat trails and tracks thread
through Lycia and open up the ancient and modern history
and culture of a stunningly beautiful region among some
of the most hospitable people in the world.
We hike through forests, along the route of an old aqueduct,
usually with stunning sea views to enjoy. Basing ourselves
in Kas for 3 nights, we spend a day kayaking (or walking
if you prefer) and another day visiting the stunning
city of Arycanda, the most impressive of the Lycian
cities.
From here we move to Olympos for a night, prior to taking
a flight back to Istanbul.
