Leleg Way

Bodrum is home to the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and is one of the most popular vacation spots along the Aegean Sea. Bodrum Castle, originally called St. Peter's Castle, was built by knights in the 15th century and now hosts the Underwater Archaeology Museum.

The Lelegs are among the earliest known residents of Bodrum. Ancient historian Herodotus states they lived in this region between the 15th and 4th century BC, centered on the Bodrum Peninsula.

The Leleg Way follows traces of this civilization across ancient cities, monumental tombs and pyramid tombs, through unique pine-forest landscapes.

The Leleg Way is 88 km from Etrim Village to Turgutreis Sabanci Park. With connecting roads, the full route reaches 185 km. It takes around five days and can be trekked in all seasons, though summer heat can be intense.
