The Lycian Way begins in Fethiye's Ölüdeniz town. Before coming to Ölüdeniz, go to the area called Ovacık. From there, continue walking towards the Montana Pine Resort Hotel. You will see the Lycian Way starting point sign before you come to the hotel.
The end point of the Lycian Way is known as the Geyikbayırı town of Antalya. Geyikbayırı is 20 kilometers away from Antalya.
You can find many alternatives you are looking for along the way. Of course, in the heart of nature, you can camp free of charge on any suitable plain. But probably, there will be no electricity or water in your area. Knowing this, make plans.
If you want to camp at a facility with electricity and water, you can benefit from the services of the facility by paying 20-25 USD per person.
If you are going to camp on the Lycian Way; Beware of insects, especially at night. No one can guarantee that bugs won't bite you. Therefore, you can carry medicines with you.
On the road, you can't find water anywhere. Especially if you are going to do this walk in the summer, make sure you have plenty of water with you. I have heard of those who are in very difficult situations due to thirst and those who are in the hospital.
Before you go, download the mobile app called Lycian Way to your phone. You can see the whole road on the map and it also tells you where you are. You can see the villages, camping and accommodation areas on the way, and even the places where you can find water.
Finally, if you are going to walk during a particularly hot period, go for a walk in the morning or late afternoon. Thus, you can walk more comfortably by experiencing less water loss.
