Important Tips for the First-Time Hikers in the Lycian Way

The Lycian Way, where there are various signs and directions for hikers, was processed with the French Grande Randonne system. Amateurs can also complete the Lycian Way, which has yellow signposts at the intersections, without getting lost. The red and white lines, which are marked every 50 meters on the path and every 200 meters on the dirt roads, make hiking very easy. The cross, drawn with red paint, indicates that you’re on the wrong road and have turned into a dead end. Overlaid red and white markings remind you that you are at a crossroad. Volunteers renew these signs at regular intervals, but sometimes the signs can be missed due to natural conditions or negligence, so if you lose your way, you need to go back to the last sign and check the environment calmly. The markings on both sides of things like trees and rocks will help you.
