A combination of lyrical description and practical advice, 23 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This is a brilliant book giving a meticulous and intelligent guide to the Lycian Way. The book is peppered with idiosyncratic local knowledge, useful tips, Turkish language translations and practical advice. The poetical descriptions of this beautiful and under walked area make the book a pleasurable armchair read and an invaluable walk guide. Sections of the walk are broken into small chunks (ie 2 hours) which makes it straightforward to pick out sections to do independantly of the whole walk. Also there is not a map bound into the book but I suspect that the maps of the area may be restricted by the Turkish military (??) but the sponsors of the walk (one of the main Turkish banks) have printed a map of the Lycian Way. My only reservation is the lack of an ordanance survey type map but this is a minor issue and this book is in a class of its own. I think the Sunday Times named the walk as one of its 10 best walks. K Clows demonstrates an insiders view of the area. The photographs in the book are pretty good too.

The ONLY guide you'll need!, 23 May 2002

By	"eggmoo" - See all my reviews

This is the definitive and only book availiable on walking the Lycian Way!
The way it is set out allows anyone from absolute beginners to enthusiasts to take a walk through the beautiful scenery it describes.

Kate Clow discovered the Lycian Way by finding all the old paths and joining them up. She was given an Award normally only given to Turkish citizens for this.

She has lived in Turkey since 1989, I think, so knows a thing or two about the locality. She also has her own walking company which aranges walks along the Lycian Way and other routes.

What a great aunt to have... :)

Lycian way- amazing place but vague book, 18 Aug 2007

By	Jane Marston (Cumbria, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lycian Way (Paperback)

We walked part of this this summer but found that the section that we walked was very poorly described by the book and resulted in long delays due to poor directions. Kabak to Alunca optional waymarked route was particularly bad. All in all it was an amazing place but we found the book dissapointing.

very useful explanation to prepare or to perform this exciting walk, which is nearly unknown to the great public.
