The Lycian Way in the West

The Lycian Way in the West 875 €, 8 Days

The first hikes will lead you along paths high above the sea, offering you breathtaking views of the coast and the up to 3,000 m high peaks of the Taurus Mountains. The dramatic cliffs at Alınca show themselves at their best, while typical cultural landscapes can be found in the hinterland. Pine forests, olive groves, and Mediterranean maquis line the paths. You will hike over ancient aqueducts and discover significant testimonies of the Lycians at the ruins of Patara and Xanthos. At the end, Patara awaits you with one of the most beautiful beaches in Turkey. The 12 km long sandy beach is undeveloped and natural, as it is a protected area for sea turtles and rare birds.

Highlights:
♦ Patara beach - one of the largest and most beautiful beaches near the ancient Lycian city of Patara
♦ Xanthos - the capital city of ancient Lycia
♦ Ölüdeniz - one of the most photographed beaches on the Mediterranean, also known as the Blue Lagoon.

Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

Mozambique Tour: Your Complete Guide to Africa's Indian Ocean Coast

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
