The highlight of the last week on my current MedTrek outing in Turkey was not the sea view looking back at Dalyan, my pimping pomegranate video (http://youtu.be/gHXZAYOoiC4), the sandy Sarigerme beach walk, the sunset in Göcek or the look over my shoulder at Fethiye.

Looking back on Fethiye.
It was reaching the starting point and MedTrekking the first 57 kilometers of the 509-kilometer long Lycian Way that stretches from Fethiye to Antalya.
The starting line.
The Lycian Way, which includes some of the routes used by Alexander the Great, is usually well-marked with red-and-white slashes and meanders on beaches, in the coastal mountain ranges and through rural villages and seaside towns. It features views from seaside base camps and vistas along the way.
Kicking back at Kabak base camp.
The Med seen from Alinca.
The difficulty of the path can be more amusing than fatiguing.
A tough climb.

When we return in April, we’ll kick off where we ended this week in Bel, Turkey @
