Antalya & Alanya Ancient Roman Road Hiking Tour
The ancient Roman road is known as one the most popular hiking routes in Turkey, also titled Via Sebaste road. It is a truly incredible route with scenic sights all around, but it also holds an important historic value as it was used by Roman military forces to travel, connecting distant local villages and major ports.
You will be hiking on the very same paths as the ancient Romans did. These roads were primarily built to allow easier travel for Roman military forces and to connect distant villages and major ports. They were also used by the local villagers, and mountain tribes. Few ruins and restored buildings are still standing for you to explore, but even if you had never heard about the historic value of the region, it would still impress you with the scenic sights all around.
The tour includes lunch, hotel pick up and drop off, and guidance of a certified wilderness instructor. The hike’s length is about 10 kilometers or 6 miles but includes multiple breaks and is relatively slow-paced. Please wear comfortable, hiking-appropriate clothing, and sturdy hiking shoes.
NOTE: Please evaluate your fitness and health before booking the tour. Please also wear comfortable, hiking-appropriate clothing, and hiking shoes. Tour pricing depends on the group size, from $40 to $100 per person.
