Product Description

Combines the best features of a Sunflower walking guide with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide. The Lycian Peninsula takes in a very large area; this volume concentrates on the region between Kas (including Kekova to the east) and Lake Koycegiz. A key feature of the book is coverage of the Lycian Way as day walks, with full transport details. A companion book, covering the stretch from Antalya to Demre, takes in the rest of Lycia. The wild, fissured Lycian coastal region has been called the most beautiful in Turkey. It was once so isolated that it became a place of exile. Today, thanks to the many flights to Antalya and Dalaman, millions of visitors spend their holidays in the places where unwanted dissidents were once forcibly detained. Coverage: Getting there and getting about � Recommended accommodation and restaurants (with prices) � Practicalities A-Z � History � 15-20 main walks with many variations, all with large-scale topo maps � Fold-out area maps � Detailed town plans showing locations of all sights, hotels and restaurants � Plans of ancient sites � Many 'feature' panels

Customer Reviews

Ideal guide for holiday combining walking and visiting archeological sites
We found this guide very useful for planning a walking and sightseeing holiday on the Lycian Turkish Coast. As walking maps don't generally exist in Turkey, we would not have been able to plan our own walking holiday without this guide. We followed walks 2, 9, 13 and 15, and would recommend them all. The guide was also useful for visiting the large number of beautiful historical sites in this area and to find accommodation as we travelled along the coast. We particularly liked the areas around Ucagiz, Patara and Kabak.

Turkish Beauty
Very informative guide, especially for those who prefer active vacations - a bunch of detailed maps for walkers, very easy to navigate. Highly recommended!

Walking in Turkey
Excellent guide to walking in this area - and the maps are particularly helpful since none are available locally. We did several of the walks last year and found them to be easy to follow. To keep up to date it is also possible to download updates from the Sunflower books website
