Total Distance: 16.5km

The first section is some moderate hiking from the village of Bogazcik to the ancient ruins of Aperlai.

There are several cisterns along the way, although with dirty water, and some good wild camping spots.

From Aperlai you will have a moderate hike with gentle hills to Ucagiz. This is often a favorite section for many people.

There are limited water options, but you will pass by the Aperlai Restaurant which has camping, food, and water. There is also options for wild camping in this section.

From Ucagiz you will have an easy hike of gentle hills to Simena.

There are a few water fountains, and nice spots for camping.

The Talmussa Lycian Ruins are on the hillside of the east edge of Ucagiz. You can visit but the path is often overgrown and rugged.
