Guided small-group trek · Kaş
Kaş Lycian Way guided trek: 5 days, 4 nights
Updated: 2026-09-08
This is the section of the Lycian Way this site is named for. In four walking days you cross the peninsula from Kaş to Kekova through Antiphellos, Aperlai, Teimiussa and Simena, three of them roadless and one of them under the sea, sleep in a village pension or a beach bungalow every night, and finish with the Kekova boat and the tombs of Myra. A licensed guide walks with you, a van carries your bags, and the agency has already argued with the pension owners so you do not have to.
It is the trek we recommend to people who write to us with a week and no tent. The walking is honest rather than heroic: 11 to 14 km a day, one proper climb, a lot of stony coast path and a boat at the end of the best day.

The agency’s booking terms
A deposit holds your place; the balance is paid to the agency before the start. Their cancellation terms, as published:
- Cancel 30 days or more before the start: full refund.
- Within 20 days: the deposit is kept.
- Within 15 days: the full tour fee is charged.
- Illness with a hospital report: refunded minus the non-refundable costs. A place can also be transferred to another person.
What the tour page does not tell you
- Day 3 starts with a transfer: the Limanağzı to Boğazcık stage, the longest and driest on the Kaş section, is skipped by road. If walking every metre matters to you, say so and we will ask about a private variant.
- Üzümlü İskelesi is a bungalow camp on the water, not a hotel. It is the best night of the trip in October; by late November it may be closed and the agency substitutes a pension, which we will tell you before you book.
- The departure shuttle on day 5 goes to whichever airport your flight leaves from. Antalya is about two and a half hours from Demre, Dalaman close to four.

Is the Kekova boat included?
Yes, the day 4 boat over the sunken city and to Simena is part of the trek. Simena castle entry is included in the fees.
What if I am walking alone?
You join the group; a single-room supplement applies if you want your own room. Tell us and we will get the figure from the agency with the quote.
