Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed in a map or trail listing" appear on OpenStreetMap or on the Karia Yolu website and map, but could not be confirmed on their own website. Most places are small family pensions and apart-hotels, and several stage ends have only a campsite or a camping spot. Many are not on booking sites: phone a day or two ahead, and expect pensions in the bays to close in winter. Pay in Turkish lira, in cash where you can.
