Meet our team
- Hi, I’m Elvira, the founder of Lycian Way Tours and the person behind the screen when you reach out for support. Travel has shaped my life—I’ve visited over 50 countries and lived in 7 of them, but Turkey holds a special place in my heart. I’ve hiked the entire Lycian Way from start to finish, and before launching this company, I worked as a guide on the trail.
I created Lycian Way Tours to share this incredible experience with others—without the stress of planning. My goal is to make your hike feel effortless, while still giving you the thrill of adventure and the beauty of the journey. Whether you’re a first-time hiker or a seasoned trekker, I’m here to make sure everything runs smoothly from the moment you book until the moment you reach the last viewpoint. - With over a decade of experience leading treks along the breathtaking Lycian Way, Ali is not just a hiking guide—he’s a passionate storyteller and cultural ambassador. Born and raised in southern Turkey, Ali combines his deep local knowledge with a university degree in History, offering travelers an immersive experience that weaves together the region’s landscapes, legends, and ancient civilizations.
Ali has guided hundreds of travelers from around the world across the rugged Mediterranean coastline, sharing insights about Lycian tombs, Roman roads, Byzantine ruins, and Ottoman heritage hidden along the trail. Fluent in both Turkish and English, he’s known for his warm personality, encyclopedic knowledge of the region, and commitment to creating safe and unforgettable journeys.
