How many stages does the Lycian Way have?
This guide divides the Lycian Way into 30 stages, from Fethiye in the west to Antalya in the east, grouped into four regions: Fethiye, Kaş, Olimpos, Antalya. Most stages are a single day's walk; Stage 19 – Myra/Demre → Belören → Finike is usually walked over 2–3 days with camping.
Which Lycian Way stages are the hardest?

Can I hike only part of the Lycian Way?
Yes. Many hikers walk a single region or just a few days. Filter the stages above by region and difficulty, or pick a start point and number of days in the trip planner to get a day-by-day plan.
Is there accommodation on every stage?
No. There is no accommodation along Stage 19 – Myra/Demre → Belören → Finike; it is walked with camping or skipped by dolmuş. For the other stages, where to stay is listed on each stage page and on the accommodation page.
