context_page_description: The Lycian Way is a marked long-distance trail in southwestern Turkey around part of the coast of ancient Lycia. It is over 500 km in length and stretches from Hisarönü, near Fethiye, to Geyikbayırı in Konyaaltı about 20 km from Antalya. It is waymarked with red and white stripes of the Grande Randonnee convention. It was conceived by Briton Kate Clow, who lives in Turkey. It takes its name from the ancient civilization, which once ruled the area.
context_section_description: The Lycian Way, named after the Lycian civilization that ruled in this region, is over 500 km (310 mi) in length, stretching from Hisarönü (Ovacık) in the Fethiye district of Muğla Province in the west to Geyikbayırı in the Konyaaltı district in Antalya Province in the east. The long-distance trail is waymarked after the French Grande Randonnée special system, and the intersections are marked with yellow directional signs. The trails are marked on both sides of rocks and tree trunks at every 50 m (160 ft), and the dirt roads at about 200 m (660 ft) along the route, especially at places like forks or crossroads, with signs of a white stripe above a red stripe. Red-cross marks indicate a deviation from the path, and that the marked trail should not be entered. The signs are periodically renewed by volunteers.
  Some parts of the Lycian Way are suitable for trail riding  with mountain bikes. In some places, experienced downhill and single-track enthusiasts can pass the entire track by carrying the bike on the back. However, it is also possible to try the bicycle route, which is partly on the Lycian Way and on parallel side roads, by using alternative forest and village roads.
  Clow wrote a guidebook in which the characteristics of the trail, such as the width of the path, the kinds of waymarks, and the distance and hiking time of the stages, are described.
