Day 01

Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz Walk

  • After meeting with our group, we reach Kayaköy with a short transfer. We enjoy pancakes in an authentic restaurant in the ancient part of Kayaköy, and we start the walk from here.
  • Kayaköy is an old Greek village. Following the 1924 population exchange and the migration of the Greeks, the village has remained like a ghost town to this day. As we walk through its streets and alleys, we see houses reflecting the architecture of that period, along with doors, windows, and churches. Our walk begins with a small climb among the ruins of Kayaköy houses. We then continue towards Ölüdeniz, seeing the bays along the ancient Lycian road beneath the pine trees. There will be a swimming break at Ölüdeniz Beach, followed by a transfer to our hotel.

Note: There will be enough time for those who want to paraglide from the summit of Baba Mountain. Afterwards, we go to the hotel where we will stay.

Day 04

Alınca to Ge Village Hike

After a short transfer in the morning, we start our walk from Alınca. The view of the Seven Capes welcomes us in all its splendour. With a small zigzagging descent and a parallel path, we see Cennet Bay from above. We have a lunch break at a village house and meet more nomadic people. After lunch, a wide plain, cistern, and forest path lead us to Ge village, with views of the Seven Capes along the way. In the late afternoon, we walk around and explore this unspoiled village. Then we rest in a village bungalow house.
