Lycian Way (Likya Yolu)

The Lycian Way (Likya Yolu) is Turkey's first and most renowned long-distance trekking route. Stretching for roughly 540 kilometers from Fethiye (Ovacık) to Antalya, it is a spectacular collision of deep azure Mediterranean waters, rugged pine-clad mountains, and ancient history. The trail loosely traces the jagged coastline of the ancient Lycian civilization, a confederation of fierce naval city-states. Hikers walk on ancient Roman roads, narrow goat trails, and steep mountain passes, constantly moving between remote, pristine pebble beaches (like Kabak and Patara) and high alpine lookouts (like Mount Olympos/Tahtalı). Along the way, the path weaves directly through dozens of spectacular, overgrown ruins of ancient Lycian cities with their iconic rock-cut tombs.

The Thorsborne Trail is a 32km point-to-point trekking route along the eastern coastline of Hinchinbrook Island, within Girringun National Park, Queensland. Running between Ramsay Bay in the north and George Point in the south, the trail traverses a diverse tropical landscape of mangrove systems, granite headlands, and rainforest. Hinchinbrook is an uninhabited wilderness island, accessible only by organized boat transfers from the mainland hubs of Cardwell or Lucinda. The route follows the Hinchinbrook Channel side and the open Coral Sea, passing significant features like Zoe Falls and the granite peaks of Mount Bowen.
