Fascination Lycian Way West - 8 days

Your adventure begins as you arrive at Dalaman Airport, where you are warmly greeted and transferred to the vibrant resort area of Ovacik/Hisaronu. Nestled amidst scenic mountains and renowned for its refreshing breezes, this lively village offers a unique blend of country charm and energetic ambiance. Settle into your comfortable accommodation (such as a boutique guesthouse or similar) and take in the picturesque surroundings, preparing for the exciting days ahead.

After a hearty breakfast, set out on your first hike to the evocative village of Karmilassos (Kayakoy), a once-thriving Greek settlement now transformed into a hauntingly beautiful ghost town. Explore its atmospheric ruins and two remarkably preserved churches, then continue your journey towards the world-famous Oludeniz Lagoon. Spend a relaxing afternoon on the iconic turquoise beach, soaking up the Mediterranean sun before returning to your accommodation in Hisaronu. Enjoy the flexibility of walking or taking a local dolmush bus for your return. Breakfast is included.

Begin your day with a scenic hike from Ovacik along the southern slopes of majestic Babadag Mountain. As you traverse narrow trails, marvel at sweeping coastal vistas and the shimmering blue of Oludeniz far below.
