Why you’ll love it
From Roman harbors tucked into pine forests to Lycian cliff tombs and a sunken city you’ll glide over by boat—this route strings together the very best of the Lycian Coast. Day 1 moves along the shoreline (Phaselis → Demre → Kekova boat with Kaleköy/Simena stop) and settles into Kaş for the night. Day 2 cruises inland through UNESCO sites (Xanthos–Letoon) and finishes above the plains at the fortress city of Tlos, before an easy roll into Fethiye.
