Self-guided tours

Any time of the year

Our trips are for those who want more than just a holiday. Whether you’re hiking solo or joining one of our small groups, it’s all about connecting—with nature, local communities, and the joy of the journey. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the experience—not the planning.

We work with small, local businesses because we believe in travel that gives back. Good food, welcoming guesthouses, and genuine hospitality—that’s what makes the Lycian Way unforgettable.

Come hike the trail the way we love it: simply, meaningfully, and in good company—whether it’s your own or shared with others.

Elvira

Founder & Hiker Care Manager

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.

Elvira put together a fantastic slightly customized tour for us due to a tike constraint. She is wonderfully knowledgeable and everything on the tour went perfectly.
Loads of info and guidance ahead of time.
The GPS app and markers.
But the main thing for us was having Elvira on WhatsApp while we hiked just in case. She is like a safety blanket.
Also, she is proactive is ensuring the little things like transfer arrangements go smoothly.
Super helpful, and a joy to work with.
And as for the actual hiking.......mind blown. It's breathtaking and highly recommended.
The scenery, the food, the people. We fell in love with Turkiye, and this was due to the experience that Elvira cultivated for us.
Go to Turkiye. Have Elvira guide you. Make lifetime memories. That's the formula.

For those who enjoy independent and in some places challenging hiking with stunning views, this is the hike for you. Each day was different and we were consistently met with delicious food and kind people at the end of the day. Elvira meticulously managed organizing transfers and accommodation on our behalf. Knowing she was available and "watching" over us each day was an added bonus.

Tripadvisor Review

In early May, I had the best trekking tour along the Lycian Way in Turkey in terms of comfort and organization with Elvira.
A thoughtful beautiful route, daily swimming in the sea, time to relax and sunbathe in the middle of trekking was very appreciated!

I liked the choice of hotels - everywhere the food was tasty and stay is comfortable. Clear arrival of all transfers - they came to the right point at any time - they immediately took us away. We did not waste our precious time waiting.

There were harder days, there was a 3-hour chill on a comfortable yacht at sunset, where there were even more sunbeds than the whole group, there were dinners in authentic Turkish cafes, there were snacks from what we took with us, everything was decided the day before and together.

I was very pleased with this freedom. You seem to be in a group, there seems to be a route, but there is a complete feeling that you can at least stay somewhere longer, eat where you want and whatever you want, no one drives you, a real vacation.

Elvira is an open, positive person, an excellent tour guide, with such a guide you can go anywhere) the feeling that a good friend has come up with a trip to the most beautiful, proven, delicious places for you. Thank you for this wonderful vacation!
