Sustainable travel in the Mediterranean
Beyond the big hotels and smart resorts, the Mediterranean offers a huge range of more sustainable - and more interesting - experiences, from sharing lunch with shepherds to helping save endangered wildlife. Here the authors of Clean Breaks, a new Rough Guide, pick their favourites......
20. Hide away in a Lycian lighthouse –Turkey
Yediburunlar is Turkish for "seven noses" - an apt description of the shapes carved by the seven bays beneath the lighthouse of the same name; the perfect place to appreciate the beauty of this remote part of Turkey's south coast.
The solar-powered Yediburunlar Lighthouse, with six rooms, is situated halfway along the Lycian Way, a 500km path that follows the coast from Fethiye to Antalya, considered one of the world's great walking routes. Each day there's an optional guided hike to build up an appetite for hostess Semra's dinners: expect five-course extravaganzas ranging from smoky roasted aubergine with local cheese and walnuts to a crisp broccoli salad with lemon dressing.
