Information for visitors to the Kalkan, Kas, Fethiye region of Mediterranean Turkey, known in ancient times as Lycia.
Summer Gallery
Summers are hot on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast – ideal for lounging by the pool or on the beach. But it is possible to get out and about. Here are some photos taken on excursions in the Kalkan, Kas, Fethiye area during the months of June, July and August.
Welcome to The Lycian Shore, a website about the Tekke Peninsula of south western Turkey - the area known in ancient times as Lycia. The site takes it title from a book of the same name by the distinguished English travel writer Freya Stark who travelled through the area in the 1950s. A great writer and intrepid traveller, Freya Stark had this to say about Lycia:
"There are not so many places left where magic reigns without interruption and of all those I know, the coast of Lycia was the most magical."
Much has changed since the 1950s, but the magic remains.
