Itinerary description

unfinished Saint Pauls Trail. The St Paul Trail is a 500km 27-day way-marked footpath from Perge, 10 km E of Antalya, to Yalvac, NE of Lake Egirdir. There is a second branch starting at Beşkonak, the entrance to the Köprülü Kanyon National Park 80km NE of Antalya and joining the first route at the Roman site of Adada. The trail is over Roman roads, footpaths and forest tracks; suitable in places for mountain bikes. It’s a wilder route than the Lycian Way, starting at sea level and climbing up to 2200m, with two optional peaks at around 2800m. Kate Clow opened this route in 2008, to bring tourism into rural Turkey and offer walkers insight into the countryside that Paul traveled through on his first journey through Asia Minor.
The start point at Perge, is close to Antalya airport and the end at Yalvaç, near Lake Eğirdir. Eğirdir is a major transport and accommodation hub on the route. Trekking is best in spring and autumn – July-August is hot. Many nights you can find accommodation in village houses or small pensions, but on longer sections you will have to camp – there are plenty of good places.
