Biking in Lycia

Biking in the Land of Light

Lycia   means   land   of   light.   It   is   the   name   of   an ancient   region   between   the   modern-day   towns   of Fethiye    and    Antalya.    It    is    situated    next    to    the glistening   waters   of   the   mediterranean   where   its rugged   coastline   is   a   feature   of   our   biking   tours. Inland   we   find   dense   forest   covering   coastal   plains a  n  d    steep   mountain   valleys.   Further   inland   we   can   find high   pastures   ringed   by   the   majestic Toros   mountain peaks. In other words a magical land for biking! The     land     is     settled     by     farmers,     fishermen, shepherds     and     market     gardeners.     Until     very recently    most    of    these    people    lived    a    nomadic existence   and   many   still   retain   an   element   of   their nomadic   life   as   they   move   their   sheep   and   goats   up to   high   pastures   in   the   summer   and   back   to   the coast   for   the   colder   months.   These   are   some   of   the most     welcoming     people     you     can     meet.     their generous hospitality is truly legendary. Lycia   has   a   long   and   vigorous   history.   The   name Lycia   comes   from   the   Hittite   word   Lukka   and   dates the   settlement   of   the   area   back   to   at   least   2,000 years   BC.   There   are   also   a   number   of   pre-historic sites   in   the   area.   Our   tours   aim   to   take   you   to   some of   the   most   interesting   and   often   well   know   sites and to a few hidden gems as well. We currently offer two tours:-
