A long-distance trail of about 540 km along the Mediterranean coast from Fethiye to Antalya, past Lycian tombs, ruins and beaches. Walk sections such as Faralya to Kabak. Kaputaş is a famous turquoise cove between Kaş and Kalkan.


The best seasons are spring and autumn. Kaş is a lovely base, with boat trips to the sunken city of Kekova.
