The Lycian Way - Hiking and Backpacking Turkey Ep. 22

Entering a spectacular canyon is a great start of the day. Pure magic on the Lycian Way.
But once you leave the obvious path the markers disappear and on a dirt road that (according to the GPS and a detailed map) is not part of the Lycian Way, markers return!
This stretch of the Lycian Way is a navigation nightmare. And when the weather turns from sunny to days of thunderstorms with a difficult canyon ahead it's hard to make the right decision.

The Lycian Way is a 540 km long thru hike. It is a way-marked footpath that takes zbout 29-day's to complete. It winds along the south coast of Turkey It starts at Ölüdeniz by Fethiye and goes to Antalya. The old trail is a combination of Roman roads, old footpaths and mule trails. It was researched, designed and waymarked by Kate Clow in 1999. The Lycian Way is Turkey’s first long-distance walking trail.
