Lastly, it is worth mentioning the Lycian way of the Mediterranean south-west coast that is home to many ruined cities dating from the Lycian era. The official trekking route outlines a path between all of them and trekkers generally camp out or stay in small pensions along the way.
Given that the estimated time for completion is 3 months, I only know of a few people who have completed it fully. Instead, it is possible to visit places one by one or indeed make a road trip of it by using the D400 coastal road to access the scattered ruins.
Highlighted places to visit include Patara, Xanthos, Letoon, Olympos, Phaseslis, Tlos, Simena Castle, the amphitheatre of Kas and much more.
