Join me as I tackle one of the biggest hiking challenges ever. The trail voted as one of the best trails in the world by the Sunday Times. However, it's not an easy challenge but the views make it worthwhile if you can overcome the obstacles! The Lycian Way (Likya Yolu in Turkish) is 500 km / 300 miles of tricky terrain, 74,000 ft of ascent, with constant breathtaking views.

Follow my journey as I face heat, rain, misfortune, relief and ups and downs galore. I’m well prepared, but the best laid plans as you see in this video often go astray. Will I prevail?
On my epic Lycian Way trek I pass through Roman ruins and modern settlements along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. I visit (take a deep breath!): Ovacik; Kabak; Bel; Kinik; Pydnee; a 'sea of plastic'; Xantos; Kalkan; Patara; Delikkemer; Bezirgan; Phellos; Kas; Boğazcık; Ucagiz; Demre; Cayagzi; Andriake; Myra; Geldonia; Adrasan; Olympus; Cirali; Beydaglari; Tekirova; Phaselis; Goynuk; Citsibi; Geyikbayiri; Trebenna; and Antalya!
On my way I encounter such a wealth of human kindness and companionship – my fellow hikers were always ready to lend a hand and keep my company on the trail. Thank you to everyone I met – you’ll see in the video how often I appreciated a helping hand. Thanks too to my tortoise, dog, cat, goat and dragon animal friends who brightened up the challenging hiking. And thank YOU for watching!
Let me know in the comments if you’ve enjoyed this video – especially if you’ve walked the Lycian Way yourself!
