Lycian Coast, Turkey

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Lycian Coast stretches along Turkey's southwestern shoreline, encompassing the rugged, pine-forested mountains and crystal-clear turquoise waters of the ancient Lycia region between Fethiye and Antalya. It's renowned for its dramatic scenery, including sea caves, hidden coves, and some of Turkey's most celebrated beaches such as Ölüdeniz and Patara. The region is steeped in history, dotted with well-preserved Lycian ruins — rock-cut tombs, sunken cities like Kekova, and ancient amphitheatres at sites like Xanthos and Myra. Travellers come for blue cruises on traditional gulets, hiking the long-distance Lycian Way, snorkelling, paragliding over Babadağ Mountain, and exploring a coastline that blends natural beauty with deep antiquity.

Sea Kayak & Wild Camp Turkey's Seven Capes (Self-Launched)

A self-launched version of Much Better Adventures' 6-night sea kayaking and wild camping expedition along Turkey's Aegean/Lycian coast. Base yourself in the ghost village of Kayaköy near Fethiye, then hire a sea kayak locally (or join a small launch-based day-group) to island-hop between Tavşan, Sövalye and Kızıl Ada, round the İblis Peninsula, explore St Nicholas Island and the ancient harbour ruins, and cross the Seven Capes to 7-mile Patara Beach. You'll wild camp on remote beaches under the stars and finish back at a Kayaköy guesthouse. Same coast, same paddling, a fraction of the price — ideal for a fit solo gap-year or backpacker traveller.

Nobody's posted a Mission for Lycian Coast, Turkey yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
