Sailing & Cultural Immersion in Turkey

Highlights

A cultural sailing vacation exploring the coastline of Western Lycia, aboard a Turkish gulet.

This cultural tour and sailing vacation in Turkey explores a quite beautiful stretch of coastline behind which an extraordinary culture and a fiercely independent people developed. Travelling aboard a beautiful Turkish gulet, every day there are plenty of opportunities to swim in the crystal waters of the Turquoise coast, or to windsurf, kayak, or go for a hike.

Once a day we visit one of the antique cities that adorn this timeless coast. We stroll along ancient roads lined with wild herbs, or through olive trees strewn with rock tombs. Highlights include Xanthus, the great capital of ancient Lycia, whose magnificent treasures caused an extraordinary stir when they were brought to the British Museum.
