Walking holidays in Turkey

Lycian Way walking holidays in Turkey

With a fascinating history to delve into, not to mention traditions and cuisine blending several cultures, there’s more to a walking holiday in Turkey than just hiking.

The Lycian Way is Turkey's first long-distance hiking route, pioneered by British expatriate Kate Clow and inspired by beautiful ancient pathways. Our Lycian Way holidays – we explore the eastern section on The Pirate Coast of Lycia and the western section on Seven Capes of Lycia – stitch together spectacular coastal views with charming, traditional accommodation and plenty of 'wow' moments: from eternal flames that flicker mysteriously from the earth to elusive cities hidden beneath the sea.

Choose the Lycian Way for exhilarating walking

Following the Lycian Way, our walking holidays in Turkey reveal the best of the country’s Mediterranean coastline. The scenery is outstanding, and the history enthralling. Although the walking is demanding, there is still time for cultural visits – a key element of Inntravel’s walking holidays in Turkey.

Are our walking holidays in Turkey right for you?

If you’re looking for challenging walking holidays with a real sense of adventure, Turkey is an excellent choice. The routes are satisfying, rewarding with remarkable views, but the terrain and climate are best suited to experienced hikers. With slightly shorter days, Seven Capes of Lycia is less demanding than The Pirate Coast of Lycia.

What to expect from your walking holiday in Turkey

We want you to get the most out of your time away, so we have ensured that our walking holidays in Turkey share the same three pillars common to all Inntravel holidays: alluring scenery; welcoming hotels chosen by us for their hospitality; and traditional local cuisine.

Detailed route information

We take extra care to provide you with clear, coherent route notes that we update regularly. Including useful tips about places to visit, Inntravel route guides give you more time to focus on the simple pleasures of walking, discovering the natural landscape at your own pace and soaking up the local ambience.
The advantage of independence

With Inntravel, unlike travelling with a group, you can stay in charming small hotels and set your own timetable each day. You’re also free to choose a start date that suits you, to extend your holiday if you wish, and to decide how to travel and from where – we’re happy to handle plane, ferry or train bookings for you.
Walking is our world

If you’re considering a walking holiday, we suggest speaking to the experts. That’s us. Since 1984 we’ve been discovering the best routes and accommodation and are happy to share our knowledge and expertise. Our friendly staff are specialists who have walked our routes and stayed in our hotels. Contact us, to discuss your walking holiday.
