Rated as one of the top ten walks in the world by The Sunday Times, the Lycian Way is a 500km footpath tracing ancient Lycia's coastline. Walks are graded medium to hard, with stony terrain, ascents and descents - best enjoyed in spring or autumn when temperatures are cooler.

Saklıkent Gorge is one of the deepest canyons in the world - around 300 metres deep and 18km long - carved over thousands of years by mountain water. Visitors can enter when levels are lowest in summer; around four kilometres is typically walkable after April once snowmelt has eased.
