Hiking Turkey's Lycian Way

Great trip despite hot temperatures. Made special by our Explore guide, Alper.

Nice trip, good group. The Lycian way was a little boring compared to other hikes

This was my first organised hiking tour and I was not disappointed! Ryman our guide was simply excellent. She kept the group together and pulled everyone and everything together perfectly. Accomodation far exceeded my expectations. All in all the trip was excellent value for money. One downside though. The guides could be paid much better as they give such a great service!

We found Explore to be very good. The communication about the trip was clear. I made a couple of calls to ask questions which were answered. The trip was amazing the only comment I would like to make is that not everyone walks at the same pace and as a slower member of the group I was often on my own. It would have been better to have at least 2 guides for 16 people one at the front and 1 at the back. The guide we did have was lovely and very helpful with a fabulous dinner on the last night. The food throughout the trip was amazing. I highly recommend this hike

Amazing trip, excellent leader and the group were lovely.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in stunning views of the Turkish countryside and delicious food. Our guide Nebil was THE BEST. He kept the group engaged, always looked out for us and made us laugh and push on when the trail was challenging. My favorite phrase was "just a little bit up". I especially loved the home cooked meals we sampled in Gey and on the last day - lunch on the boat and dinner. Bring your poles and best walking shoes or boots and challenge yourself. You'll be rewarded with an amazing experience.

To enjoy the Lycian Way week, you need pretty good fitness as there are some steep ascents, & long days, especially in the heat, a good sense of humour as there’s dorm accommodation with early morning call to prayer & cockerels at 5.30am! But you’ll be rewarded by stunning views, gorgeous scenery, tombs & amphitheatres, delicious & authentic Turkish food., Friendly & enthusiastic leader Nabill loved sharing his country, its history, people & culture., Recommend staying a day or two each end of the holiday, though check transfers from the airport as Explore don’t always include these now if you don’t arrive on the trip dates which feels a little unfair if you’re prepared to return to the airport.

Well planned walks and itinerary, beautiful flora, views and history. Great group of people and a good tour leader made it a memorable holiday. The only negative was the group transfer back to the airport when the driver was very fast and unsafe.

Fantastic trip, Turkey is beautiful and the trip is well planned. Nebil is a great guide. He gave us lots of information and ensured we are well taken care of.

The trip was great and l thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks especially to our leader Nebil who was one of the best guides I've had (across several walking/trekking companies). He was charming, funny, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and well-organised. And he was firm when he needed to be, not recommending the usual route when the weather was bad. Having trust in the leader is my prime consideration in such trips and Nebil was very watchful over the whole group. The trip notes made it clear we were going to be in a range of accommodation to help us experience Turkish life and these experiences helped to make the trip memorable. Of course, sharing the week with a nice group of people helped!

Very enjoyable trip . Leader was knowledgeable and looked after the group well through his good organisation.
