Private 8-Day Lycian Way Walking Holiday: Kayaköy, Butterfly Valley, Patara & Kekova

TÜRSAB licence 14707Free cancellation up to 30 daysNo hidden fees100% private – only your group

Overview

An 8-day private walking holiday on the Lycian Way, Turkey’s first long-distance trail (about 540 km from Fethiye to Antalya), covering its most scenic coastal sections between Kayaköy and Kaş. You walk 3–6 hours a day on marked paths while your driver moves your luggage to the next guesthouse.

Your own licensed guide every day: every departure includes a private, licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group, never strangers. Prices are per person and get lower the more people travel together (1 to 8 travellers).

The tour is private and self-paced, with transfers that skip the less interesting stretches. It runs in spring and autumn, when temperatures are best for walking.
