The Lycian Way Travel Place in Turkey by Anjimile Mtila Oponyo

Turkey’s Turquoise coast heats up in June, but the sun hasn’t quite hit full strength. Follow sections of the 500km-long Lycian Way on foot through ancient ruins, pine forests, and to glorious sandy beaches. Make sure you pack sturdy walking shoes. There are campsites en route, or base yourself in a town and tackle it in day trips (visit cultureroutesinturkey.com/c/lycian-way for maps).



Ölüdeniz is a good starting point, with steep paths from the high-end hotels through tiny Falaya to unspoilt Butterfly Valley and its sandy beach. Further south along the coast, Patara can claim Turkey's longest uninterrupted beach as well as some of Lycia's finest ruins. Or if it’s comfort you’re after, Kalkan has some of the best dining options on the route, including the excellent Korsan Fish Terrace.
