Handy Things to Know
The following notes are gathered from our own experiences and from feedback sent to us by other hikers. Let us know how we can improve these notes – and thanks!
Water
- Fill up on water before departing as there is no reliable water on this section other than in the endpoint communities.
Highlights
- Some nice views.
- At Faralya, Butterfly Valley offers some spectacular views (the village sits above the valley).
- Kabak sits atop a very attractive bay. At the bottom of the hill, beneath the main part of the village itself, is a small but nice pebble-style beach.
Route Planning
- If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, there is an alternate path between Faralya and Kabak Beach (not part of the official Lycian Way) that is becoming quite popular. It follows the coast and offers excellent views, with several good access points to the beach. We quite like it!
Accommodations
- Lots of options at both endpoints.
- At the Kabak end, accommodation is scattered all over the hillside between the main part of the village and the beach.
Camping
- There are a few wild camping spots at / near the hilltop as well as along the plateau to its S.
Amenities
- You’ll sometimes encounter impromptu fruit / tea stands that pop up occasionally.
- Accommodations, cafés / restaurants, and mini-markets are available at both endpoints.
Transport
- Dolmuş service available from both endpoints.

How You Can Help
Trail research is never actually done. Here’s some of what we’re looking for:
✅ More photos! Ideally with geo-location information in the metadata. In addition to using some photos on Trekopedia, we add them to our internal reference database which significantly helps us with trail research. The more photos, the better! If you are willing to share your collection with us, we’d be incredibly grateful. Let us know and we’ll arrange a transfer.
✅ Points of interest. Help us identify (and geo-locate) accommodations, attractions, restaurants, markets, trail waypoints, confusing or problematic junctions, difficult or hazardous places, water sources, and so on.
✅ Tips & recommendations. Share your thoughts with other hikers.
