Stage Guide
Everything you need to know before you walk
Leaving the magical Kekova area, Stage 17 climbs through Kapaklı village before descending to the river estuary at Çayağzı. The walking is less dramatic than the previous stage but still beautiful — pastoral hillsides, olive groves, and occasional sea views.
Çayağzı is at the mouth of the Andriake river — a small settlement with boat connections to Demre (Myra) and sometimes basic accommodation. The estuary has a raw, end-of-the-world atmosphere, particularly out of season.
