Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Antalya and transfer to your first hotel perched on top of a ridge. Admire the views and have supper. Late arrivals will sleep in until lunch!
Day 2 Ovacik to Berke. A gentle walk for your first day's outing, down the valley and over a low ridge to the village of Gedelme. (13 km, 4½ hrs, CUSs 150m) Taxi pick up from restaurant.
Day 3 Berke to Phaselis. Walk up through the pine woods and then drop down to explore the major Graeco-Roman site. A paddle in the sea ends your walk (10 km, 5 hrs, CUSs 150m)
Day 4 Phaselis to Cirali. After a short ride to the start of the walk, continue your journey enjoying spectacular views between secluded beaches, and along an old cliff path to the beach at Cirali (19 km, 6½ hrs, CUSs 250m) Alternative: Take a ride along the coast in a wooden motorboat to a beach, then walk for 2½ hrs.
Day 5 Free day to visit the ruins at Olympus and/or lunch at a famous restaurant and a walk to the eternal flames of the Chimaera. Or you may prefer to put your feet up on the beach and get ready for the last two days walking.
Day 6 Cirali to Adrasan. A beautiful walk. Starting with a morning’s beach walk past Olympus and a stiff climb through strawberry (arbutus) tree woods, the afternoon will take you from high pastures down through pine and deciduous woods on a pretty and winding path. The walk ends with a stroll along the river bank to your hotel for the night. (16 km, 6½ hrs, CUSs 600m)
Day 7 From Adrasan to the Lighthouse, and Antalya. Enjoy the wildest part of your journey, which has been saved for your last walking day. From the beach at Adrasan, the route climbs up through a camel farm then up a pretty path to a pass. From there it tracks the sea, along a dramatic coastline, eventually arriving at the lighthouse of Kilidonya. Your taxi will collect you at your chosen time and take you to our favourite Antalya hotel. (22 km, 7½ hrs, CUSs 770m)
Day 8 Depart hotel (or choose to stay extra nights in Antalya)
