    The Lycian Trail is a long hiking and automobile route through the ancient region of Asia Minor. Throughout the first millennium BC, Lycia had a distinctive culture: language, writing, architecture. It was conquered by Persians, Alexander the Great, Romans and Turks. It remained autonomous for a long time, being a part of ancient empires.
    Lycia stretches from Antalya to Fethiye. On this trip you have the chance to touch the grandeur of its antiquity by walking through its ruins. In addition, the nature here is fascinating.
