Apollonia Lodge

Top choice in Turquoise Coast


This delightful rural pension accommodates Lycian Way hikers on the stretch from Kaş, (18km or five hours from Boğazcık) to Kaleköy via Aperlae and Üçağız. The pension occupies a sturdy stone house on a smallholding, with views of Boğazcık village tumbling through a valley around its glinting mosque.

The rustic pension's eight cool rooms have private terraces and are furnished with rugs. On the hill opposite are the Lycian ruins of Apollonia, to which you can also walk (1km). Boğazcık is 1km from the Kaş–Üçağız road.
