Threads across the catalogue

Follow several guides and the catalogue starts working as a single piece. Three stories thread through it.

Saint Nicholas, becoming Santa Claus

Patara (the bishop's birthplace) → Myra (his church and the three-sisters legend). Two guides tell one biography across 1,700 years.

Bellerophon's circle

Tlos (his birthplace and tomb, western end of the trail) ↔ Olympos (where he killed the Chimaera, eastern end). Both guides end with the same line.

The 141 AD earthquake

One fault movement, four cities. Myra mentions it. Kekova was the casualty. Simena survived. Aperlae's purple trade went quiet with it.

The audio lives in the app

Every guide on this page is narrated in the free Lycian Way app — and only there. The app downloads each guide for offline use, starts playback automatically when you approach a site by GPS, and remembers where you stopped. Read here to plan at home; listen in the app while you walk.
