    Am I right that one arrives to Dalaman and transfers to Kayakoy? Do you arrange a transfer? Also, do we trek light and have the luggage taken from stay to stay?

    April

    Asked on April 20th, 2026

    This is my first time in Turkey and I am excited there are some great hiking opportunities here. If possible I would like to combine with Exploring Istanbul for three days then doing some hiking. Please let me know other hiking tours aside from Lycian Way and if there's one you would strongly recommend for me. My husband and I are in reasonable hiking shape so something moderate to hard is preferred.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten April 2026

      Turkey offers world-class hiking that blends rugged Mediterranean landscapes with thousands of years of history. Major hiking destinations include the coastal Lycian Way and the volcanic valleys of Cappadocia.

      Popular Hiking Routes we offer:
      The Lycian Way: A world-renowned 540km long-distance trail stretching from Fethiye to Antalya. Highlights include Butterfly Valley, the ancient city of Patara, and the abandoned ghost village of Kayaköy.

      Cappadocia Valleys: Known for unique "fairy chimney" rock formations and cave dwellings. Top trails include Rose Valley & Red Valley for sunset views, Love Valley for towering rock pillars, and the lush Ihlara Valley canyon.

      The Turquoise Coast: Features shorter, moderate coastal walks near Kas and the Taurus Mountains, often including swims in secluded bays.

      April

      TravelerWritten April 2026

      We are thinking of around 2 weeks of touring Turkey around late Sept/early Oct, and if we can visit major cultural spots like Istanbul as well as having some moderate to rigorous hiking blended in, that would be great. What's the major difference between Lycian Way and Cappadocia? Is there way we can have little bit of both?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten April 2026

      Turkey in late September / early October is a fantastic time to travel, with pleasant temperatures for sightseeing and ideal conditions for hiking.

      **What's the difference between Lycian Way and Cappadocia?**

      **Lycian Way** is Turkey's most famous long-distance coastal trail, located in the southwest. It offers dramatic sea views, mountain paths, ancient ruins, traditional villages, and rewarding moderate to more rigorous hiking. It's perfect if hiking is a key priority.

      **Cappadocia** is more focused on unique landscapes, cave dwellings, underground cities, and cultural experiences. Hiking here is generally easier to moderate, with scenic valley walks rather than longer coastal trekking routes.

      If you'd like both hiking and cultural highlights, the best option would be to combine a classic Turkey touring itinerary with a dedicated hiking trip.

      **TRH – Highlights of Turkey**
      7 nights / 8 days
      From **US$1,580**
      Single Room Supplement (optional): **US$370**

      A wonderful introduction to Turkey's key cultural highlights, including Istanbul and other historic landmarks.

      Follow this with:

      7 nights / 8 days
      From **US$1,370**
      Single Room Supplement (optional): **US$340**

      This would be an excellent option if you'd like to combine hiking with a rich cultural experience, while also travelling with like-minded people in a small group setting.

    Adrian

    Asked on April 4th, 2026

    Can you let me know if there is a place for one person for the hiking trip to Turkey? Would prefer a room for single use. How is it then arranged when in some days it is stated shared room with up to 4 people?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Explore!OperatorWritten April 2026

      On the night that you share accommodation, you'll stay in a traditional village house. Accommodation will be in a combination of twin and multi share en-suite rooms of up to four people, depending on the size of our group. Gey is a very typical rural Turkish village and the food and hospitality you'll receive is wonderful after a long day walking. We are unable to organise single rooms for this night of the trip.
