Lycian Coast Hiking and Sea Tour

The tour starts without missing a beat with a transfer to Olympos Beach, a coastal part of a national park. This is where a local group of sea turtles like to lay their eggs.

Check in, freshen up, and enjoy a swim and a welcome dinner.

Olympos and the surrounding area have plenty to see, so get to it this morning! You’ll hike through blooming wildflower fields, pomegranate orchards, very old graveyards, and the city itself.

Once you’ve got your steps in, dip into the cool Mediterranean.

Get a little bit of activity and a whole lot of relaxation today. You’ll start with a hike to Ulupinar Village, where there’s a trout farm built on an icy spring. After lunch, you’ll hit the beach to relax.

After you’re sufficiently sunned, you’ll take a short hike to the “fire breathing monster” (Chiamera), an area known for constantly burning fires likely caused by methane gases (but the legend of the monster is way more fun).

Enjoy breakfast and don your swimmies! You’ll start today in Ucagiz, a perfect base for exploring the lovely Kekova Sound and the sunken Kekova Island, which you’ll paddle around. You’ll take a short hike to a snorkelling spot over the ruins of Aperlai, where temples, pottery, and columns can be seen underwater.

Once you’re dried off, you’ll be driven to Kas for the evening.

Don’t misinterpret the sleepy vibe of this seaside town- there’s so much to do! You’ve got a free day to enjoy Kas as you please. Some optional excursions and activities are available for additional fees, including coasteering, mountain biking, scuba diving, ancient site tours, and paragliding.

After breakfast, you’ll say goodbye to Kas and board a private boat bound for the Agalimani Cove. Here, enjoy swimming in the perfect blue sea. Next, you’ll take a hike (optional) through a pine forest with great ocean views. Find yourself at the underwater bath where Mark Antony is said to have seduced Cleopatra. Finally, stop in at the ancient necropolis of Telmessus.

You’ll head to pretty Dalyan for the evening.

Your last full day on the tour won’t disappoint. Begin with a fishing boat ride to Iztuzu Beach, part of a natural delta where sea turtles lay their eggs. Explore the delta, perhaps snacking on some blue crabs in one of the local restaurants.

Next, you’ll take a quick hike to the impressive ruins of Caunus. You’ll end the day with a lovely goodbye dinner with 5th-century rock tombs within sight.

You won’t want to leave Turkey just yet! Book an extension to keep exploring or transfer to the airport to depart.
