Turkish Mediterranean coastline with turquoise water

Turkey

Where East meets the Aegean

May – October

Turkey’s Turquoise Coast earned its name honestly. The water along the Lycian shore shifts between shades of blue and green that seem invented rather than natural. But it’s what lies beyond the waterline that makes this coast extraordinary for wellness - ancient ruins emerging from pine forests, thermal springs flowing into the sea, and a culinary tradition that treats every meal as an act of care.

A wellness voyage along the Turquoise Coast moves between hidden bays that are accessible only by water. The crew anchors near Lycian rock tombs carved into cliffs two thousand years ago, or beside thermal springs where warm mineral water meets the cool sea. Turkish gulet-style yachts are built for this coast - wide, stable, and designed for long, unhurried days at anchor.

Why this destination

Thermal Springs

Natural hot springs flow directly into the sea at several points along the coast. Alternating between thermal warmth and cool Aegean water is a wellness ritual that’s been practised here for millennia.

Lycian Heritage

Ancient cliff tombs, sunken cities, and Roman amphitheatres dot the coastline. History here isn’t in museums - it’s at your anchorage.

Turkish Culinary Tradition

Breakfast alone is an experience - dozens of small plates, fresh bread, honey, cheese, olives, and tea. The cuisine is inherently nourishing, generous, and beautiful.

Pine-Covered Coastline

The scent of Turkish pine from the shore reaches your yacht at anchor. Forested hillsides meet clear water at beaches that feel like the Mediterranean of decades past.
