Step aboard a traditional gulet for an all-inclusive light Turquoise Coast cruise to secluded bays and islands - includes flights, transfers and more
Turkey’s Turquoise Coast earns its name the moment you see it: a sweep of jewel-bright water framed by pine-covered mountains and scattered with tiny islands. Set sail from Marmaris aboard a traditional wooden gulet on this leisurely cruise, drifting between secluded coves, historic harbours and hidden islets far from the crowds. Days take on a gentle rhythm of swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing on deck, with meals freshly prepared on board. Life slows, the horizon widens and the only real decision is when to take your next dip.
Along the way, ancient history is never far from the shoreline. Your gulet pauses at the half-submerged ruins known as Cleopatra’s Bath, calls at Tersane Island with its remains of a Greek settlement and lingers among the Yassıca Islands, whose crystal-clear shallows are made for snorkelling, so pack your own gear if you have it. If you’d like to venture further, optional excursions can be booked on board to reveal the wilder landscapes inland. With flights and private transfers included, all that’s left to do is step aboard, feel the warm breeze on your skin, and watch the coastline unfold, one sun-drenched cove at a time.
