- NNele· April 14th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThis was an unforgettable week! There were 15 of us and our guide Alper. The energy in the group was right from the start. The age ranged from 40 tem 74 and a mix of different nationalities (UK, USA, Scotland, Australia, Canada & Belgium). Alper was a fantastic guide, he always remained calm and patient, he made every effort to accommodate our requests. What a topper! He provided plenty of restful moments. I got the chance to pick up some geocaches ;-). Nature was breathtaking and the scenery never ceased to amaze me: no day the same, no view the same. Turkey charmed me so much! The Lycian Way is definitely recommended and achievable (even if you don't have the best physical condition). The accommodations were also varied which really made it a new fine experience each time. We stayed in a hotel but also in lodges (the accommodation in Gey village was basic, the hospitality and food was top notch!). I recommend this trip to everyone, from the beginning to the end it was full enjoyment of all the beauty. The food, the accommodation, the guidance, the group, the walks, the variety of landscapes, ... it so exceeded my expectations. This gets more than 5 stars for me! It was an inspiring and wonderful week, it was one full of wonder, connection and adventure. My very first group trip was a magical experience.Show more

Show moreTrip date: April 2025 - MLMary· April 5th, 2025The Lycian Way tour was a combination of strenuous hiking, fantastic scenery, historic ruins, and most importantly, an unmatched cultural experience. Our guide, Kemal, led us on physically challenging routes, shared the history of the ruins, and immersed 16 tourists in the rich culture of Turkiye. The group consisted of 12 very educated and social Brits, 3 nature-loving Canadians, and me, the lone and solo American on her first coordinated international tour. Kemal encouraged us to stay together, on pace, "drink in" the natural landscapes, the cuisine, and interact with each other and our Turkish hosts. Kemal was the glue that kept the group together and brought the experience to the level of not just a holiday/vacation but an adventure. I know I will return to Turkiye again.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThank you so much for your lovely feedback on Hiking Turkey's Lycian Way trip - it was a real pleasure to read!
