J'ai découvert la turquie avec ce premier Trek, j'ai fait la partie Ouest l'année suivante, tellement ca m'a plu. Les paysages sont variés, de la montagne à la mer, en passant par des canyons. Super moment en compagnie de trekkers étrangers, je pense en garder un super souvenir.

Turkey is love. The trip was just wonderful!

The route is colorful, very picturesque, full of beauty, you can't take your eyes off the coves.

There were overnight stays on the seashore, on a mountain, and in campsites. All nights are warm, in one of the campsites we had cute, lively alarm clocks - peacock and roosters :)

We stopped with tents under pomegranate and orange trees, walked past olive groves. In addition to such a bright and rich nature, we looked at the ancient city of Olympos. Every day there was something interesting, diverse and memorable, we came back with the desire to walk along the Lycian trail again and again.

Для меня это была первая поездка в Турцию - и сразу в поход! Не в отель, не на пляж, где все включено и предсказуемо, а в настоящий поход, с рюкзаком и палаткой. После этого я влюбилась в Турцию навсегда!

Неописуемая красота, каждый день не похож на другой – разные ландшафты, разная растительность, разный уровень сложности переходов. Трудные переходы под рюкзаком чередуются дневками и прогулкой на лодке на целый день. Правда в некоторые дни была возможность отправить тяжелые рюкзаки транспортом, чем девочки с радостью пользовались. Мужская половина группы гордо несла свою поклажу от точки А до точки Б (ну, на то она и сильная половина). Очень порадовало доброжелательное и открытое отношение местного населения в глубинках, где редкий турист то заходит, кроме таких вот любителей увидеть красоту сверху.

Восточная часть Ликийской тропы очень живописна. БОльшая часть маршрута проходит под тенью высоченных деревьев, что создает комфорт в жаркую погоду. А ливанские плоские кедры под Тахтали – это просто великолепие!!!За 12 дней похода не было ни одного дождя, спальник практически не использовался – комфортно было спать и без него. Очень понравилась морская прогулка на целый день по живописным бухточкам, капитан приготовил нам вкуснейший обед из свеже пойманной тут же рыбы – пальчики оближешь.

Пишу этот отзыв и мысленно возвращаюсь в это путешествие – приятно и радостно!

Обязательно продолжу исследовать этот удивительный и длинный, в 540 км, маршрут- Ликийскую тропу!
