We were looking for a challenging hike when we heard the Lycian Way
last summer. It was a 29 day long-distance trekking trip from Fethiye to
Antalya. We walked our feet off at the end of this 540km ancient route.
But it was totally worth it because we enjoyed the rocky coastline,
sandy beaches and ancient ruins in Olympos and Myra. Lycian
rock tombs and deserted old town named Kayaköy in Fethiye were
also fascinating. Of course, I didn’t miss out on a chance to try rock
climbing in Olympos as a sports freak.

I have been interested in history since my childhood. On my last trip, I
had the opportunity to see the magnifcient city of Hattusha, the capital of
Hittite Empire around 1650 B.C. I arrived there by following the road from
the modern village of Boğazköy. This area is known as the “Lower City”
and consisted of a large temple complex. It is also identifed as being the
oldest part of the Hittite city. I climbed up towards a steep rocky path to
see the “Upper City”. In the Upper City I admired the sculptures and the
rock art on the gates of the ancient city. The whole trip took about four
hours but I didn’t content myself with this sightseeing. So, I went on my
trip to see the original pieces in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in
Ankara. If you want to visit this amazing site, don’t forget to take water,
food and sun umbrella with you.
