Cappadocia and Lycian Way Walking Tour
This one-week tour is designed for those who would like to enjoy both the beauty of the Lycian Way and the mysticism of Cappadocia. Cappadocia is a volcanic land and the erosion of the âtuffâ (volcanic ash) that is abundant in the area has shaped the region. It has since become a refuge for the early Christians escaping Roman persecution. Rich and varied cultural traditions continue to exist in the area, kept alive by the villagers even today. Walking possibilities are endless in the valleys full of cave dwellings and surreal rock formations. Turkeyâs first long-distance route, the Lycian Way links ancient Roman roads and Ottoman caravan routes with mule trails and forestry tracks in a 509km walk along the spectacular Turquoise Coast. This route passes through the ruins of many ancient Lycian cities and visits the most worthwhile spots on the coast.
Turkey
Trek the Kaçkar Valleys
This tour takes on the lower slopes of the Kaçkar and can already take place in July, the beginning of the trekking season in this mountainous region. It is relatively quiet and trekkers have a greater chance of observing wildlife than in the more crowded weeks of August. Wildflowers cover every slope and the snowmelt streams gush in every valley. This is a tour for those who donât aspire to do the summit and prefer to stay in village houses and pensions. July and August are the best times to visit this heaven on Earth. You will walk from one mountain yayla (pasture) to the other and see glacial lakes, flowers and snowcapped peaks along the way.

The trip includes a visit to the major Greek/Roman city of Perge as well as many opportunities to look at bulbs and birds during the walks. Our trail follows beautiful sections of Roman roads and migration routes in use since Roman times (and perhaps even walked by st Paul himself) in this spectacular area of forests, canyons, rivers and peaks.

Turkey General Information
Where to go in Turkey
Cappadocia's rock formations are perfect for hiking and hot air ballooning, while the Lycian Way offers stunning coastal walks. For a mix of history and nature, the ancient ruins along the Aegean coast, like Ephesus, provide a unique backdrop. The Taurus Mountains offer high-altitude hikes, and the Kackar Mountains are a lesser-known gem for trekking enthusiasts.
What to do in Turkey
Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, paragliding off the cliffs of Oludeniz, and trekking the Lycian Way are among the top picks. Mount Ararat offers a challenging climb for experienced mountaineers, while the valleys of Cappadocia are perfect for leisurely hikes and horseback riding. For water sports, the Turquoise Coast offers sailing, kayaking, and scuba diving in crystal-clear waters.
When to go to Turkey
Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) are ideal for hiking and exploring the interior, including Cappadocia and the Taurus Mountains, due to mild weather and fewer crowds. The coastal regions, particularly along the Aegean and Mediterranean, are best enjoyed from late spring to early autumn (May to September) for water-based activities.
