I don’t know how we got so lucky to find Fatih and Overland Travels for our small group’s incredible personalized trek and cultural tour along the Lycian Way. Words and photos are not going to be nearly sufficient to describe our experience, but I will try. Initially, we chose the independent self-guided tour curated by Fatih, but later reading about the trail caused us to change our minds and include the guide, which turned out to be the best choice and an unexpected special experience we will remember for a long time. Fatih crafted such a heartfelt, thoughtful, personable experience and provided an incredible level of service and genuine care that made us feel like family. He was attentive to the moment and the feel of our small group, making appropriate adjustments along the way, with a sensitivity that was really something special. He has a great attention to detail, is an aesthete who knows really good authentic food, people and experiences, has an appreciation of history, quiet, beauty, humor, respect for nature, good relationships with people and has a lot of patience. We were hard to corral at times and he was incredibly accepting and tolerant, yet kept us on task and drove the pace in a firm but sensitive way so that we got the most out of the tour. The hotels and pensions were well chosen, family-run establishments that we loved, run by good people. The tour he curated was extremely well put together and focused on the best parts of the Lycian Way and breathtaking cultural experiences rich with many ancient city ruins, tombs of different eras, a fort, a beautiful boat ride to a sunken city with lunch and swimming in a cove, lots of walks, hiking and swimming. He arranged our airport to hotel transportation and arranged a very sweet driver for the whole tour. We fell in love with Turkiye and it’s people and can not wait to go back under Fatih’s care, again, of course! This was an experience of a lifetime that changed us. Teşekkür ederim, from the bottom of our hearts. It was really special to meet you and your country.

We had an amazing adventure, great landscapes to see, the expedition was very well curated since we visited the most relevant and amazing parts of the Lycian way, we were impressed of how many different landscapes and atmospheres you get to see and experience. Our guide Fatih was great, charming and very profesional. We had an amazing time with overland travel, i will definitely recommend him and the agency! Thanks for such an amazing time, we really enjoy the journey
