Lycian Way Hiking & Ancient Ruins
About This Trekking
The Lycian Way is one of the world's great long-distance hiking routes, and the stretch around Kas is among the most dramatic. This guided half-day hike visits Lycian rock tombs carved directly into sea cliffs, the ancient site of Aperlae above the coast, and the 2,400-year-old Kas theatre overlooking the harbour. Wild orchids, sage, and thyme scent the air as you walk through ancient olive groves and garrigue with the Mediterranean always in view.

Best hike I have done. The rock tombs are extraordinary and the views of Kastellorizo island were a surprise bonus.
