Lycian Way: Patara to Kaş, Tuesday

We get conflıctıng advıse on how to fınd the path, but a guy on a motorbike points us back up the hill past his cafe. A few minutes later two Brazilians ask us for directions to the path and we walk together for a few hours. It is very hot today, and we walk through more rocky paths with sublime views of the coast. We hear gun shots coming down a hill, assume it is hunters. A few minutes later we come across two guys with shotguns, hunting birds, not pigs. We are looking for the village of Delikkmer, they tell us it is at the top of the very steep hill in front of us and there is a bus that goes from there. We climb over the hill with several stops for rest, water and fresh socks. Walk for another hour, no sign of Delikkmer. Not many cars on this road, we need a lift.

We stop for another rest, Murat is sitting on the road and has to scramble out of the way when another battered old Renault comes along but going the other way. We walk a bit more, then some guys marking the route for the ultra marathon give us a lift in the back of a landrover to somewhere near Delikkmer.

We walk up a big hill on the road, then down the other side. A dolmus goes past going the other way. An hour later we reach the main road and hitch to Kalkan. We get the bus to Kaputaş beach.

Kaputaş Beach



Another stunningly beautiful beach with clear water. We stay there a few hours then get the dolmus to Kaş.
