Let's follow Pegasus! Everyone knows that winged horse, right? But not everyone knows its story. According to Greek mythology, a winged horse sprang from the blood of Medusa, the Gorgon whose head was cut off by the hero Perseus. With the help of Athena (or Poseidon), another Greek hero, Bellerophon, captured Pegasus and tamed it. Their first journey together occurred during Bellerophon's fight with the Chimera (a type of fire-breathing dragon). Legend says Pegasus drove the Chimera into the mountain soil with its hooves. Since then, the monster has been imprisoned within the mountain. Later, Bellerophon tried to fly to heaven with Pegasus, but fell from the horse and was killed, or according to some accounts, crippled. The winged horse became a constellation and a servant of Zeus. Why am I telling you this whole story? I invite you on this journey! Join us on our epic adventure along the eastern section of the Lycian Way! We offer a complete 7 or 8-day package to explore this famous trekking route on horseback. In some places you'll encounter locals and tourists, while other sections are only open to backpackers. The Lycian Way, used by the Lycians as a foot and mule trail, was designed by Kate Clow, a British expatriate who has lived in Türkiye since 1989, and opened in 1999. Lycia was a region located in the Western Taurus Mountains, on the Teke Peninsula in southwestern Anatolia, on the Mediterranean coast, in what are now the provinces of Muğla and Antalya. According to historians, the Lycian people lived during the Late Bronze Age. They established city-states along the Mediterranean coast and formed the Lycian League. Thanks to their strategic location, they had the best opportunities for maritime trade and even piracy. In later periods, the Lycian region was occupied by the Persian Empire, Ancient Greece, then Ancient Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Seljuk Empire, and finally the Ottoman Empire. The stone-carved tombs and sarcophagi in the rock walls of the region bear witness to the Lycian civilization. The entire route is approximately 540 km long. Starting from Kuzdere and passing through Ovacık, Gedelme, Beycik, Çıralı, Tekirova, and Çamyuva, we will cover a distance of 150 km, also known as the Eastern Lycian Way, circling Mount Olympos (Tahtalı). Incidentally, it is still debated whether the famous Mount Olympos, the home of Zeus, is here or in Greece (Tahtalı means "Throne of the God"). We will visit one of the Lycian cities, the ruins of a Byzantine fortress, 2000-year-old trees and caves, and breathtaking views of wild bays and rocky forests.
