By Road:
Lycia is connected to the rest of the Turkey by the coastal road which
follows along the Mediterranean between Fethiye and Antalya. Another
important road connecting Central Anatolia with Lycia, joins the coastal
road 26 kilometers beyond Fethiye at Kemer Junction. From Elmalı, there are
two good roads which link with Kaş and Finike. In spite of the rugged nature
of the countryside, the road system is constantly being improved.
By Air:
The international airports of
Dalaman and
Antalya are within easy
reach of any place in the Teke Peninsula.
Turkish Airlines
has several flights from Istanbul and Ankara which serve these airports on a
daily basis. Foreign airlines are also increasing their use of Dalaman and
Antalya in their direct flight programs.
By Sea:
The regular ferryboat service from
Italian ports (verify with your travel agent the exact details and
schedules) permits travelers to sail to Kuşadası or İzmir an then to
continue by road to Lycia enjoying en route some spectacular scenery. In
1991, Antalya was included in the ferryboat program from Italy. During
summer months, Turkish Maritime
Lines have regular boat services along the Mediterranean coast.
By Bus:
Turkey can boast having one of the best coach/bus systems in the world
and in this way every major township in Lycia is connected with the rest of
the Turkey.
By Car:
One of the best ways to reach to visit Lycia is to rent a car, a mini-bus,
or even better a four-wheel drive. At Dalaman and Antalya airports almost
every international vehicle renting company has a stand alongside their
Turkish counterpart and an excellent service is provided. Caravan rentals
are beginning and becoming increasingly popular.
Note: Tourists are reminded to carry their driving licenses when on
holiday.
