Walking the Strawbery Ridge. Asar to Phellos. A trek on the Lycian Way.
The south coast of Turkey differs from the western Aegean coast in that while the Aegean is made up of lines of hill perpendicular to the sea, with the warm maritime air drifting up the valleys far inland, on the southern coast, the mountain run parallel to the sea, making a very sharp divide between the narrow coastal strip and the continental climate zones only 15 km inland. With the sun bleaching the south faces of the mountains, the norther faces are cooler and damper, i


Anti - Phellos. The Lycian Way from Port to Fortress.
We walked straight from Kaş, the ancient Antiphellos. Antiphellos means 'against Phellos', figuratively 'below Phellos' or 'port of Phellos'. The trek route is well parked and about 12 km in total. Distance is not great but you will climb up 900m of vertical ascent! The site of Phellos is overgrown and has never been fully excavated. Recently there have been some illegal digs which have exposed a mosaic near the heroon. #lycianway #Kaş #Antiphellos #Phellos #Trekking
