It is a very beautiful picturesque place that you definitely need to get to if you are vacationing in Kemer and if you do not like crowded popular tourist attractions. But I should immediately note that the road to the lighthouse is difficult. Our navigator in the car wrote that we would be able to drive 2 km to the lighthouse, but in fact the road was blocked by a fence 4-5 km away, then only on foot. At first it is quite easy, the last kilometer is sharply uphill. Put 2 hours on the rise, be sure to take water and enjoy nature!
The trail to the lighthouse of Helidonia.
, A set of 250 meters on the map.
The section of the trail to the lighthouse on the left side (if you look at the map).
Ideally, go around the lighthouse and return on the right , but this is suitable for those who do not have a car in the parking lot, such a 10 km long route will take 3-4 hours. We tried to walk to the lighthouse from one side and return, and the next day we approached it from the other side. A very scenic trail with stunning sea views. The climb is constant, the road is passable, but sometimes tedious.
Bottom line: Lycian trail – Mavikent to the lighthouse of Helidonia.
1️⃣ The level of training is average.
2️⃣ Climb – 250 m . (all the way up, smooth at first, then sharper)
3️⃣ The length to the lighthouse is 3 km (in one direction). You can park your car at the gate, or at a sign with a trail sign (but you need to drive 1 km off-road, cars are passing, who cares)
A cool lighthouse and great views! However, it is quite difficult to get there. And I do not advise swimming, there are a lot of sharp stones there. But it's a great place for photos and views
