My wife and I (in our 50s) and two sons in their early 20s thoroughly enjoyed our self guided hiking (7 days) and kayaking (4 days) trip on the Lycian Way in May/Jun 2022. We were delighted to find Amber Travel who organised everything for us so efficiently. Paul and Yesim were extremely helpful, advising on the hiking and kayaking route but also tailoring the trip so that we could visit the places we wanted to. Everything was very well organised: all the necessary route information was provided; the accommodation was varied but just perfect for us with some real gems (e.g. in Faralya and SImena); the food was excellent; all transfers turned up promptly and vehicles were very comfortable; and bags were always at our hotels/accommodation when we arrived. Amber also provided everything we needed for the wonderful self guided Kayak trip from Kas to Demre. All this was done with minimum fuss. Finally the trip was very good value compared to some UK based companies offering self guided Lycian alternatives we looked into. With their specialist experience, on-the ground knowledge and fantastic service we would highly recommend Amber travel for anybody looking to hike or kayak in this part of Turkey.…

We rented a double kayak from Paul (Amber Travel) for a 4 day trip from Kas to Andriake. What an awesome trip, made some much more enjoyable due to the local knowledge and guidance from Paul. He advised us on the best places to camp and great places to see on the way. Could not think of a better way to explore this magnificent stretch of coastline, limestone cliffs plunging into the water, Lycian ruins to explore, sea caves, a castle and turtles. Feel so lucky to have done this trip, Paul is a great communicator and the kayak and gear were excellent. Could not recommend Paul and Amber Travel more highly.…

We booked as a group of nine for a guided trek on the Lycian Way from Fethiye to Kas. Owing to Covid we had had to postpone this trip twice and were very grateful to Paul for his forbearance in dealing with some late changes to our plans. Our guide Cenk was entertaining and informative and the arrangements for transfers, accommodation and eating went perfectly. This is a great trip if you like to combine hiking with interesting history and culture, local food and a few dips in the Mediterranean! We had a marvellous time and are hoping to return to Turkey for further hiking trips in the future. Thanks again to all at Amber Travel!…

Hello Ian. Thanks for taking the time to write a review, it was great to get you on the Lycian Way at long last! We have some spectacular trips on the St Paul Trail and in the Kaçkar mountains should you be thinking of coming back to Turkey again.

We did a week of walking on the extraordinarily beautiful St Paul Trail. Amber organised it superbly and were always quick to respond helpfully to any questions we had. Ibrahim, the local person they were dealing with at the start of the trip, was also really great.
