The Lycian Way, named after the Lycian civilization that ruled in this region,<ref name="ds1"/> is over {{cvt|760|km}} in length, stretching from [[Hisarönü]] ([[Ovacık, Fethiye|Ovacık]]) in the [[Fethiye]] district of Muğla in the west to [[Geyikbayırı, Konyaaltı|Geyikbayırı]] in the [[Konyaaltı]] district of Antalya Province in the east. The [[long-distance trail]] is waymarked after the French [[GR footpath|Grande Randonnée]] special system, and the intersections are marked with yellow [[Direction, position, or indication sign|directional signs]].<ref name="Cul"/><ref name="m"/> The trails are marked on both sides of rocks and tree trunks at every {{cvt|50|m}}, and the dirt roads at about {{cvt|100|m}} along the route, especially at places like forks or crossroads, with signs of a white stripe above a red stripe. Red-cross marks indicate that the cross-marked route should not be entered. The signs are periodically renewed by volunteers.<ref name="m"/>
Some parts of the Lycian Way are suitable for [[Mountain biking#Trail riding|trail riding]]  with [[mountain bike]]s. In some places, experienced [[downhill mountain biking|downhill]] and [[single track (mountain biking)|single-track]] enthusiasts can pass the entire track by carrying the bike on the back. However, it is also possible to try the bicycle route, which is partly on the Lycian Way and on parallel side roads, by using alternative forest and village roads.<ref name="m"/>

Clow wrote a guidebook<ref name="ds2"/> in which the characteristics of the trail, such as the width of the path, the kinds of waymarks, and the distance and hiking time of the stages, are described. The history and natural surroundings are also described. The book also has detailed trail maps, descriptions of the sections and information about villages en-route The latest edition (2022) includes several extensions to the trail, including the St Nicholas Ways route network in the hills above Demre, and an alternative route, the Lyra Way, around Mt Olympos.<ref name="ds1"/>
