Cappadocia and Lycian Way Walking Tour

This one-week tour is designed for those who would like to enjoy both the beauty of the Lycian Way and the mysticism of Cappadocia. Cappadocia is a volcanic land and the erosion of the “tuff” (volcanic ash) that is abundant in the area has shaped the region. It has since become a refuge for the early Christians escaping Roman persecution. Rich and varied cultural traditions continue to exist in the area, kept alive by the villagers even today. Walking possibilities are endless in the valleys full of cave dwellings and surreal rock formations. Turkey’s first long-distance route, the Lycian Way links ancient Roman roads and Ottoman caravan routes with mule trails and forestry tracks in a 509km walk along the spectacular Turquoise Coast. This route passes through the ruins of many ancient Lycian cities and visits the most worthwhile spots on the coast.

Where to go hiking in the Middle East

Explore the historic trails of Petra, venture into the scenic Dana Biosphere Reserve, or trek through Oman’s dramatic Hajar Mountains. The region's varied geography provides endless opportunities for adventure.

Why is the Middle East great for hiking?

The Middle East is a prime destination for hiking due to its rich historical landscapes, dramatic natural beauty, and well-preserved trails. Iconic hikes like the one through Wadi Rum offer not only physical challenges but also a deep dive into the bedouin culture, making it an enriching experience for all adventurers.
