Walking along the Lycian Way
18-25/04/2024
Mandarin & Mango's mountainside setting close to the ancient Lycian Way, much favoured by walkers of all nationalities, makes it an ideal location for a walking holiday with the added bonus of a touch of luxury to return to. For those who enjoy walking in like-minded and convivial company and who value the guidance of someone very familiar with the local trails a guided week is often more enjoyable than going it alone.

Ghislain will again be leading the walks himself as not only is he familiar with the tracks and paths around Faralya but he also has a deep understanding of the local customs and culture.

This experience will not only enable you to discover some of the most beautiful landscapes of this part of the world but also to learn more about rural life in Turkey and to visit some of the lesser known archaeological sites.

The holiday is offered on a half-board basis with a traditional Turkish breakfast and Mandarin & Mango's delicious five-course dinner. En route you can enjoy a picnic or barbecue lunch or a meal in a simple Turkish eaterie, all payable locally.

Some days will be spent walking in the immediate area, others exploring a little further afield and some following parts of the Lycian Way and a minibus will be used to transport you whenever necessary. A reasonable level of fitness and sturdy walking boots are required but the week's routes are designed to allow you to enjoy the countryside at a fairly leisurely pace and not to test your endurance.

Subject to local conditions and availability, guests also have the opportunity to take part in several optional activities during the week, including horse-riding, scuba-diving and even a tandem para-glide flight!

This holiday can be extended by a second week for those who want to spend time relaxing at Mandarin. Partners/travelling companions not wishing to join the walks can stay at Mandarin at the standard package.

Journey to the Edge of History Highlights of Eastern Turkey
A guided tour through Eastern Turkey, a region where numerous ancient civilisations have left their mark. Travelling from the Armenian border to the Mediterranean coast, we explore the remnants of the oldest known manmade structures on earth, and even visit what some believe to be the original Noah's Ark.
Istanbul, Kars, Mount Ararat, Dogubeyazit, Van, Midyat, Mardin, Gaziantep, Gobeklitepe/Karahantepe, Tarsus (St.Paul), Anamurium, Side, Faralya/Fethiye
04 July – 19 July
Day 1; 04 July
Arrival, stay in Istanbul on Bed & Breakfast basis.
Day 2; 05 July
Visit Saint Sophie, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, the bazaar and the spice market.
Stay on Bed & Breakfast basis
Day 3; 06 July
Flight from Istanbul to Kars. Afternoon sightseeing around Kars, including the hilltop castle. Stay on bed & Breakfast basis.
Day 4; 07 July
After breakfast we drive to Ani, an abandoned Armenian city right on the border with Armenia, with stunning medieval churches, mosques and palaces in a remote open field. We proceed to Dogubeyazit, we visit Ishak Pasha Palace, Urartu Castle and drive to Van overnight on bed & breakfast basis.
Day 5; 08 July
Noah’s Ark, this huge boat-shaped structure found at an altitude of around 2,000 metres above sea level just south of Mount Ararat has attracted substantial interest from archaeologists since its discovery by a Kurdish shepherd in 1948. Whilst most now believe this to be a natural rock formation rather than the fossilised remains of Noah's Ark, it is a fascinating and scenic place. We take a boat trip on Lake Van to Akdamar island, home to the Church of the Holy Cross and some Armenian monastery ruins. Overnight on bed & breakfast basis in Van.
Day 6; 09 July
Drive from Van to Midyat. The ancient city is the center of a centuries-old Hurrian town in Upper Mesopotamia, reminiscent of a medieval city with its gradually rising stone .
Many different empires had ruled over Midyat including the Mitannians, Assyrians, Arameans, Armenians, Medes, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Abbasids, Seljuks and Ottomans. Overnight on Bed & Breakfast basis.
Day 7; 10 July
We drive from Midyat to Mardin via the antique city of Dara. an important East Roman fortress city in northern Mesopotamia on the border with the Sassanid Empire. Because of its great strategic importance, it featured prominently in the Roman-Persian conflicts. Overnight on Bed & Breakfast basis
Day 8; 11 July
From Mardin we proceed via Karahantepe and Göbekli Tepe to Gaziantep. Open to the public in October 2021, Karahantepe is an archaeological site in Şanlıurfa Province. Prior to its excavation, nearby Göbekli Tepe (which we also visit) was deemed the oldest known manmade construction on Earth, dating back 10,000 years and thus predating both Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids by several millennia. Based on the latest research, Karahantepe is thought to be another 1,000 years older, so today you can experience two historic record-breakers! Archaeologists have uncovered T-shaped stelae and 250 obelisks featuring animal figures to date.
Overnight in Gaziantep on Bed & Breakfast basis.
Day 9; 12 July
We travel from Gaziantep via Tarsus, to Anamur. We visit the old sea town of Anamurium.
Overnight in Anamur on Bed & Breakfast basis.
Day 10; 13 July
Drive from Anamur via Side to Faralya. Side, located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, was founded by Greek settlers from Cyme in Aeolis, a region of western Anatolia. This most likely occurred in the 7th century BC. Its tutelary deity was Athena, whose head adorned its coinage. After exploring Side's sights, we continue to Mandarin & Mango Boutique Hotel in Faralya, where we will be based for the remainder of the trip. Stay on Half Board basis.
