Ancient Lycian tour of Tlos and Saklikent with lunch

The land of ancient Lycia lies pinched between the Mediterranean coast and the soaring Taurus Mountains of southwest Türkiye. You'll visit three spots that show off the region's top archaeological and natural sights by minibus on this exclusive small‑group tour with just 14 guests.After being picked up from your hotel, you'll head to Üzümlü village in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. This peaceful rural stop gives you a feel for traditional village life before the scenery shifts towards the dramatic landscapes ahead. Your next stop is Tlos, one of the most impressive ancient cities in Lycia. Here, you'll see the iconic cliff‑cut Lycian tombs rising out of the hillside, along with the Ottoman fortress perched at the summit.Half an hour by minibus from there brings you to Gizlikent Şelalesi. A traditional lunch of mezze and casserole is served at a restaurant right by the waterfall, with your group seated at tables tucked among the trees. After you've refuelled, it's on to the final stop: Saklıkent Gorge. You'll have over an hour to explore the base of this 300‑metre‑deep limestone canyon and hear how the gorge shaped ancient Lycian life four thousand years ago. It's around an hour and a half to two hours back on the minibus, returning to your hotel at around 6.00pm.
