In southern Turkey, a series of marked long-distance foot trails runs between the Mediterranean coast and the westernmost ranges of the Taurus Mountains. This is the Lycian Way, an enchanting hike through the ancient city ruins of the Lycian, Greek and Roman civilisations, offering a window onto day-to-day rural scenes in this region. Neara traditional Turkish flatbread stuffed with spinach and crumbly local cheese, for the past 30 years. On the trail, the view shifts from quaint mountain villages, rest stops (left) and cedar and pine forests to hiddenaway beaches such as the emerald bays along Cape Gelidonya (right) and at the vertiginous Butterfly Valley near Faralya.
