About the route
A fast long-distance traverse from Fethiye to Geyikbayırı via Göynük: about 500 km in 14–20 days. This demanding pace is for experienced, well-prepared hikers: there are few rest days, and long stages may change due to weather or group condition. Published trail lengths vary as the route is updated and branches split; published totals of 540–555 km count these variants differently. This page describes one continuous line. A typical full walk takes around a month; the 14–20 day option is for hikers cleared for a fast pace.
Before you plan
Safety on the trail
The Lycian Way has rocky ground, steep climbs and descents, exposed sections and long gaps between settlements. Distances, water, weather and overnight options are checked before each departure. The plan may change for safety; the exact GPX is not published. The 14–20 day fast option is preliminary: daily stages and each participant’s readiness need review before registration; the trip may take longer if needed.How I keep the group safe ↗Day by day
