Itinerary

Day 1: Daily Lycian Aqueduct Trekking Tour

Your journey begins with a morning meeting at your hotel lobby, where you will be greeted by your professional guide. After a short transfer, you will arrive at Firnaz Bay, the starting point of your trek along the ancient Lycian Aqueduct, an impressive engineering masterpiece that once supplied water to the great city of Patara.

As you begin walking, you will follow sections of the original Lycian waterway, parts of which remain remarkably intact. Surrounded by rolling hills, Mediterranean vegetation, and open countryside, this route offers a peaceful yet powerful connection to the past.

The trail gradually leads toward Patara, revealing breathtaking panoramic views of the 18-kilometer-long Patara Beach, one of the longest and most beautiful sandy beaches in Turkey. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the Lycian civilization, which thrived between 2500 BC and 600 AD, linking ancient cities through this very trail.

After approximately two hours of trekking, you will reach a scenic resting point where you can relax and enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch. You’ll also have the opportunity to taste fresh spring water from a natural well, just as travelers did centuries ago.

Following the break, the walk continues into the protected archaeological area of Patara Ancient City. Here, you will explore extraordinary landmarks including the ancient amphitheatre, the Lycian Parliament House (the world’s first known democratic senate building), and the remains of the oldest lighthouse in the world.

At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel, enriched by a day filled with history, nature, and unforgettable scenery.
