Crimea Trekking Tours

Trekking in Turkey
Turkey has two long distance trekking routes: The Lycian Way –opened in 1999, and The St Paul Trail –opened in 2004.

Both trails are about 500km long. Kate Clow with Terry Richardson researched designed and implemented both trails. Many other volunteers, including Atil Ulas Cuce and Kerem Karaerkek, who own Middle Earth Travel, helped. Kate and Terry produced the guide books and maps to the two trails, assisted by George Zsiga, who drew the map of the St Paul Trail, and Ueli Aellig, who took GPS readings on the St Paul Trail and part of the Lycian Way.

Both trails are 'way-marked' with red-white paint flashes every 100m or less. Both are described in the guide books and maps. Before you walk, you can get up to date information on the 'update' pages of this web site.

The Lycian Way trail was authorised by the Turkish Government (Tourism and Culture Ministry). Way-marking of The Lycian Way was sponsored by Garanti Bank.

The St Paul Trail was authorised by the Forestry Ministry and has not been sponsored. Volunteer groups work to keep the trails marked and cleared. Exodus Travels have sponsored the waymarking for 2004 and several trekking companies will sponsor waymarking for 2005.

The Tourism and Culture Ministry will be publishing a short guide to trekking in Turkey for 2005.
