Upon your arrival at Antalya Airport or Dalaman Airport, you’ll be welcomed by our assistant carrying a sign with your group leader’s name on it. You’ll be transferred from Antalya or Dalaman to Fethiye with our air-conditioned and non-smoking vehicle (Dalaman-Fethiye 1 hr / Antalya-Fethiye 3 hrs).

From the road between the castle ruins, we will follow an ancient stone road that connects Fethiye (also known as Megri-Telmessos) to Kayaköy (also known as Levissi-Karmylassos).

This road was used to get on board the ships during the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in the years 1923-24. Kayaköy, which has such a tragic story, was even mentioned by the famous author Louis de Bernières in his book called "Birds Without Wings". Kayaköy was entirely evacuated with the migration of the village inhabitants to Greece and turned into a quiet ghost village remaining in its natural state. As you wander around in Kayaköy, it will be hard not to imagine and feel the sorrow of people who were removed from their homes.

The ones who feel too tired to continue walking or wish to rest in the afternoon can opt to stay at the hotel. The hiking distance in the morning is 9 km in total, 500 m uphill, and 300 m downhill).
