Turkey is home to many travel routes where nature and history dance together. With its wind-rich regions, unique bays, sheltered marinas, coastal towns, and unique history, Türkiye’s waters welcome both those planning sailboat holidays and adventure travelers. Olympos is on the route of the ancient Lycian way. The Lycian Way, which has a history of thousands of years, and which is still used by nomads, starts from Fethiye and extends to Antalya. The Lycian Road passes between the coast and mountains, and generally consists of Roman roads, old paths and mule roads. Along the course, there are beauties of nature such as Kabak Bay (Kabak Koyu), Cennet Bay (Cennet Koyu), Butterfly Valley (Vadisi), Patara, Kekova, Korsan Cove, Gelidonya Lighthouse, Adrasan, Çıralı; ancient cities such as Antiphellos, Sdyma, Letoon, Limyra, Simena, Xanthos, Patara, Apollonia, Chimera, Myra, Olympos, Phaselis.; It is possible to swim in virgin bays and stay in settlements, accommodation facilities or tents on the road.
