Lycian way by the Sea

Duration: 7 day(s) - Location: Dalyan and Gocek

Load the kayaks and slide off the sandy beaches away from the crowds into your holiday of nature, silence, limestone rock formations and exploration.

In this tour you will see the other side of the Southwest of Turkey. No crowded beaches, no luxury 5-star hotels. Instead, you will meet the real unspoiled Turkish coastline! Rock formations, sandy beaches, caves, limestone and more. The evenings will be spent on quiet beaches where we put up the camp and gather wood for a delicious evening meal. Sleeping in the open air gives you the opportunity to enjoy the millions of stars covering you like a sweet blanket.

Besides four days of sea kayaking, we do white water rafting on the Dalaman River and make a hike from Dalyan to Ekincik.

This tour is available for those with a sense of adventure and willing to accept a challenge. No experience is required.
