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.

Audio guide questions, answered

Is there an audio guide for the Lycian Way?

Yes — the Lycian Way app carries the most detailed audio-guide library for the region: 214 guides covering all 39 ancient sites, 200 of them narrated in 8 languages, over 16 hours of stories. Every script can also be read free on this page.

In which languages are the audio guides available?

Eight languages — English, Turkish, German, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Italian and Spanish. Each language is rewritten for native ears with its own narrator, not machine-translated.

Do the audio guides work offline and at the ruins?

Yes. The free Lycian Way app downloads each guide for offline use and starts playback automatically by GPS as you approach a site.

Can I read the guides without the app?

Yes — the full script of every guide is published on this website in all eight languages. The narrated audio itself plays only in the Lycian Way app.

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.
