Ufakdere(Factoria Bay)-AntiPhellos(Kas)
Departure from hotel and 25min. transfer to trekking location. Our today's trekking tour is characterized by the view to the breath-taking cliffs at the coast and to the Mediterranean Sea in the east of Kas glistening in all silver and turquoise shades. Nature and sea lovers can enjoy this pristine region that encompass maquis landscape, small canyons, stream mouths, pocket beaches, tiny islets, olive gardens and rock tombs carved into the hills. To reach Limanagzi we should traverse a rocky shoreline where the landscape became more bizarre by the hour.
Hiking along maquis covered limestone shore and cliff
faces of Lycian coast; lunching at a beautiful cove and walking on
Lycian trail you may have a chance to see village life of nomads. As we crest the ridge, we pass through the remains of old olive groves and shepherd encampments. In front of you is the triangular mast of Uluburun, where the oldest shipwreck ever known, has been excavated by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology.
Already after quite a short time we have got a
marvelous view to the coast; this view accompanies us almost all way
long. Two hours later we leave the track aside and descend towards
Bayindir Bay that, sheltered by the surrounding mountains, is a
natural harbor and invites for a swim. After lunch in
we may spend time swimming, snorkeling, exploring Hidrellez grotto
and splendid rock tombs carved into the hills, the powerful remnants
of Lycian civilization.
On the
mountain side over this natural harbor, there is a group of
sarcophagi with Lycian inscriptions carved on them. This must be a
very small ancient city, and its name is believed to be Sebeda.
The path westward linking the town of Kas with the
Limanagzi(Bayindir Liman) offers the surrounding peculiar ecosystem
formed by thin points and narrow coves is absolutely quiet and
peaceful. Late afternoon we start to walk back to AntiPhellos(Kas). The day ends with a final walks to Big Pebble Beach where you can make last swim of the day or laze with a beautiful sunset. Continue to Kas and overnight stay. Optional boat trip from Limanagzi Bay-Kas Harbor is possible. Not included in price.
