Walks Of Turkey’S Turquoise Coast

This tour includes:

Accommodation

Our base for the week is Hotel Club Phellos in the heart of picturesque Kaş. The location is ideal: it’s a two-minute walk to the King’s Tomb, a fourth-century BCE sarcophagus that’s become the symbol of the town. It’s also a three-minute walk to the bazaar and four minutes to Kaş Square. Better yet, Küçük Çakıl beach (Little Pebble Beach) is also a short walk away. When you’re not out exploring, the 89-room hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, terrace with sweeping views across the bay, and a dining space.

Transport

A comfortable air-conditioned mini- or midi-bus is used throughout the trip.

Meals

All breakfasts included. Breakfasts normally include boiled eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, cheese, honey or jam and yoghurt, olives and bread. Lunches may be taken as picnics or in lokantas (small local restaurants). For dinners, Kaş has plenty of excellent restaurants and cafes. Some specialise in locally caught fish, others in various lamb dishes. There are also plenty of snack bars where pide (Turkish pizza) is served. Most restaurants also offer meze (mixed starters). Your tour leader will arrange group meals (non-obligatory, if you would rather explore yourself) in a variety of establishments. The Turks have a sweet tooth, so expect plenty of honey-covered pastries, plus cakes and ice creams.

Itinerary of your trip Walks Of Turkey’S Turquoise Coast

  • Day 1 Day 1: Start Kaş
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Start Kaş

      Welcome to Kaş, a pretty coastal town occupying the site of Antiphellos – a well-preserved first-century BCE theatre stands in tribute to the ancient town. There are no activities planned for today so you are free to arrive at any time and enjoy the hotel facilities.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Morning Orientation Tour Of Kaş Followed By A Walk Through The Olive Groves To Limanagzi Beach (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Morning Orientation Tour Of Kaş Followed By A Walk Through The Olive Groves To Limanagzi Beach (Breakfast)

      We start our trip with a gentle warm-up day. The morning is spent on an orientation walk discovering Kaş, then we can enjoy coastal views through the olive groves on the way out to Limanagzi beach, where a historic shipwreck was once excavated. This is part of the famous Lycian Way. At Limanagzi, we have time to relax or swim before we head back to Kaş by another route, where you may see some rock tombs, a feature of the area. It was a custom of the Lycians (the predominant people of the area between the 15th and 14th centuries BCE) to build tombs for their dead in mountainsides, or at least in high places, as they believed they would be carried to the afterlife by a winged creature. There is also the option to take a water taxi back to Kaş.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Walk Along The Lycian Way From Ufakdere To Limanagzi (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Walk Along The Lycian Way From Ufakdere To Limanagzi (Breakfast)

      After a vehicle transfer (30 minutes), we start our walk along one of the most spectacular sections of the Lycian Way. There are great views out to sea and we can spot Kastellirizo, the closest Greek island to mainland Turkey. We end up at yesterday’s finish point where we visit a low-key beach club; there is time to swim and relax before returning to Kaş by water taxi.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Walk The Ancient City Of Phellos, Through The Village Of Cukurbag And Down Into Kaş (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Walk The Ancient City Of Phellos, Through The Village Of Cukurbag And Down Into Kaş (Breakfast)

      In the hills above Kaş there are many ancient sites and one of the most enigmatic is Phellos, hardly excavated. After a vehicle transfer (25 minutes), we start our walk close to the ancient ruins. Today’s walk is mostly downhill, firstly to the village of Cukurbag. There are some great views over the coast. If the weather is hot, we shorten the walk using a vehicle transfer for 1.8mi (3km). Our walk brings us down back into Kaş.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Optional Daywalk In The Hills Above The Town Or Optional Full-Day Sea Kayaking In The Clear Waters Of Kekova Bay (Breakfast)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Optional Daywalk In The Hills Above The Town Or Optional Full-Day Sea Kayaking In The Clear Waters Of Kekova Bay (Breakfast)

      Your leader will advise on things to do in and around Kaş, including some self-guided walking options. A very popular excursion is sea kayaking at Kekova, an alternative way to explore the Kekova region and Turquoise Coast. Our optional guided tour departs from the small fishing port of Ucagiz (approximately 45 minutes’ transfer from Kaş) to explore the island of Kekova and float over the sunken city there. We disembark at the hillside village of Simena and stroll up to a superb fortress where we can enjoy spectacular views over the aquamarine bays, inlets and islands below. We have a late lunch and then transfer back to Kaş in the mid-afternoon.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Explore Ruined City Of Arycanda; Afternoon Walk To Mountain Village Of Yazir (Breakfast)

      Today we travel inland for approximately 1hr 45min to Arycanda, a city renowned in Lycian times for its love of pleasure and merrymaking as well as being in constant debt. Arycanda is the most impressive of the Lycian cities and its setting is one of the most outstanding in all southern Turkey. After visiting the site, we enjoy a delicious home-cooked lunch with a local family in the village (payable locally). In the afternoon, we drive approximately 20 minutes to the Ordubek Plateau and begin the 5mi (8km) walk to Yazirbeli village. This is the highest point of the day; from here, we begin our descent with fabulous views of the surrounding landscape, made more colourful by cedar and juniper trees.
