This report is about the tour: Lycian way
You always have a choice. My choice has already been made and I recommend it to you! OutdoorUkraine and instructor Kirill Yasko opened for me the world of organized hikes, when you are not an observer, but an active participant in what is happening.
The Lycian Way is a moderately difficult route for beginner trekkers. 10 days to enjoy nature, admire your endurance, get closer to the clouds, diametrically change your ideas about Turkey and find a new you!
The reboot begins...
0% - I decided to abandon the standard vegetable holiday at sea.
To hell with lying and laziness in hotels. As the great Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy said: “To be morally healthy, you must definitely shake yourself up physically.” This hike is just what you need! I knew about the Lycian Trail that this is a mountain path to the mountains and to the sea, perhaps that’s all. Why do you need to know anything else? The task was to give yourself completely every day! Enjoy your new life!
1% Does the trail look like a wide dirt road?
Will the whole trip be like this? Not difficult yet, but the backpack is very heavy, about 13 kg. For me, this weight turned out to be large, I thought in my head that I could not take many things. Happiness is when your loved one takes something for himself to help)))
15% First duty.
My companion cut his finger. Blood. I wasn't ready. My fellow hikers are very responsive and understand more about first aid than I do. Let's not get lost! Happiness when the bleeding stops and everything begins to heal)
17% Morning, 5:00 am the attendants get up for breakfast.
Lesson for life: “Try to take care of the firewood in advance, and not at 5 am when everyone is sleeping soundly...key point, it’s dark and there might be scorpions!” The officers on duty are actively agitating to collect firewood, and don’t play mafia as soon as you arrive at the camp)))). Happiness is when the porridge is cooked and everyone is fed and tea with lemon is made.
30% Pain is normal!
My legs hurt so bad I can barely walk or sit down. It's good to just go upstairs. Downstairs everything is very tense. Happiness on the 4th day will learn to walk again and enjoy it!
45% We came to the Gainyuk Canyon.
And there’s fresh orange juice for only 80 rubles. Somewhere in the mountains! 2 glasses in one gulp. This is happiness!
55% Anything is possible!
Walk all day, swim in the canyon in cold water, then walk again. Maybe! It’s a pleasure to fall asleep after a long day in a warm sleeping bag at 21:00 in the evening after getting up at 5:00 in the morning!
65% And now you hate your backpack.
You think I’ll burn half of my things) Surprise from the instructor, the backpacks move on their own. The happiness of walking without a backpack is the feeling of flying!
85% Delight
It’s a long, long walk to the top, and then you see a green, flat clearing. I want to scream with delight and beauty. You walk along it and greedily take in the landscape with your eyes, greedily listen to the silence. I want to stop time! Happiness is when you are here and now!
95% Olympus.
The ascent was quite easy. It just takes a little persistence. There at the top, it seems that life is just beginning. That it was not so difficult, that all problems are solved. Happiness, running down through the snow and screaming with delight!
100% Sea.
Plunge into the cool water, swim, turn around and see the peak of Olympus from which you descended yesterday. Happiness is being proud of yourself!
The reboot was successful! I feel incredible strength within me. Thanks a lot!
