Sailing & Cultural Immersion in Turkey

Highlights

Combine magnificent sites, quiet coves, wondrous walks, breathtaking vistas and glorious swims.

The highlights are plentiful: from the small harbor of Myndos, where Cassius harbored after murdering Julius Caesar, to Iasos, a wealthy ancient port, celebrated for its fish market and red marble. Today one can easily glimpse Iasos' past vitality in the splendid ruins that litter the site - from the colonnaded agora to the Roman villa decked with mosaics.

Inland we'll see two soaring temples, the elegant shrine to Zeus at Euromus, and the gargantuan oracular temple at Didyma. While at sea there are pretty rocky coves perfect for swimming, relaxing, and fine dining. Our final destination is Ephesus, capital of Roman Asia. One of the very first cities in the world to have street lighting, the site is magnificent - marble streets, agoras, villas, a theatre for 28,000 and an extraordinary library.
