Lycian Way is the longest of Turkey’s hiking trails. In total the trail is over 310 miles / 500 km in length. The trail starts on the outskirts of Antalya, near the Tunektepe Teleferik Tesisleri cable car station. Everyone thinking of hiking in Turkey, learns of this hiking trail.

3. Konayaaltı Trail

Another trail in the same area as both above mentioned.

Konayaaltı trail is a part of the Lycian Way, like a small extra (as it’s a loop). It starts on the same gravel road like the above mentioned scenic hike leading to the top of the mountain.

4. Konyaalti Beach

DISTANCE: 8.6 miles / 14 km (from one end to another and back)

Konyaalti is the most popular beach in Antalya city.

It’s a long beach which makes it also a great place for walking in Antalya. Walking from one end to another, and back, can also take you a full day — if you stop for some drinks, ice cream and lunch on the way.

There is also a bike path next to the Konyaalti beach.

5. Atatürk Kültür Parkı

DISTANCE: around 4.66 miles / 7.5 km one way

Atatürk Kültür Parkı is a great place because of two reasons.

Situated both close to the beach and in walking distance from the old town, it’s a very cool place to go for a walk in Antalya. It’s also a great place to hide from the sun, if and when it gets too hot for you.

6. Walk From Antalya Old Town to Falez Park

DISTANCE: around 4 miles / 6.4 km in total

It’s just a lovely place to go for a walk in Antalya.

It starts right from the old town in the city center, and offers beautiful views of the sea and the nearby mountains. It’s especially nice here shortly before the sunset and right after the sunrise. For most part it goes along the coast, but you’re on top of a cliff, and there’s no beach here in this part of the city.
