Title: Faralya minibuses
Post by: mikrik on May 17, 2009, 06:30:51 AM: I would like to walk part of the Lycean way from Faralya to Ovacik/Hisaronu but need to get a minibus out there in order to walk back.
Does anyone know anything about the minibus service to Faralya ie Timetable, where from etc. [?]

I can't remember the exact times but they leave Fethiye around 07.30, 12.00, & 17.00 and they go through Hisaronu about 30 - 40 minutes after that.

You need to look out for dolmuses with Faralya and / or Kabak signs in the front window.

You'll probably be more successful if you walk the LW from Ovacik to Faralya and then "thumb it" along the coast road into Oludeniz as there are several paraglider transporters returning empty along that route.

Apparently, they leave Kabak for Fethiye everyday at the following times

08:30 10:30 12:30 14:30 17:30 19:30.

Posting photos is way beyond my computing abilities I can only just manage to get things on here.
I'm hoping to do the walk with a friend from the Uzumlu winehouse walkers next week. After that if it's suitable they might organize a walk up there. I'm sure you would be welcome to come along.

Anyone thinking of doing it please note that a pair of good walking boots and plenty of protection from the sun are essential.
Thanks to all those who answered my posting with help and advice.
