Day 1
Demre to Kaleucagiz
Today, you’ll hike 15 kilometers from Demre to Kaleucagiz. Before you set out, you have the option to visit the ancient city of Myra, where you’ll walk among impressive Lycian rock tombs and a grand Roman theatre that echoes with centuries of history.
The hike along the coastal path is relatively easy, with a few gentle climbs and descents.

Shortly after the first third of the hike, you’ll reach a quiet pebble beach, the perfect spot to pause for lunch, dip your feet in the sea, or enjoy a swim in the clear water.

For a bit of extra adventure, you can paddle a self-guided canoe up a quiet creek and spot giant turtles along the way.
Day 2
Kaleucagiz to Uzum Iskelesi
Today, you’ll hike from Kaleüçağız to Üzüm İskelesi, with two route options depending on your pace and comfort level.
1️⃣ Hike + transfer: 15 km hike to the village of Boğazcık, followed by a 30-minute transfer to Üzüm İskelesi. This route offers a full day of walking without being too demanding.
2️⃣ Full hike: If you're an experienced hiker and comfortable around large shepherd dogs (often seen between Boğazcık and Üzüm İskelesi), you can take on the full 20 km hike all the way to the coast.

Either way, you’ll pass the ruins of Apollonia and Aperlae, ancient Lycian cities surrounded by olive trees, sea views, and peaceful landscapes. It’s a day filled with history, nature, and the quiet beauty of the Mediterranean.
Day 3
Üzüm İskelesi to Kaş
This stretch of the hike offers stunning sea views throughout and a total ascent of 450 meters. You’ll follow rocky trails with the turquoise sea always in sight. There’s even a chance to take a refreshing swim at a wild, secluded spot — perfect for those up for a bit of adventure.

You have two route options:
1️⃣ Hike + Boat (9 km): hike along the rugged coastline, then take a short boat ride into Kaş — a relaxed way to finish the journey while skipping the final urban section.

2️⃣ Full Hike (13 km): Walk the full 13 km all the way to Kaş. This option takes you into town on foot, offering a satisfying conclusion to your trek.
As you arrive in Kaş, your hike comes to a peaceful and memorable finish — the perfect end to a truly special adventure along the Lycian Way.
