Your Turkey fairy tale

Welcome to the Lycian coast! A sailing holiday from Fethiye or Göcek takes you into a world of 1001 nights. We start in one of the modern marinas and sail into an area that is famous for its "Blue Voyage". The coast is lined with green pine forests that reach down to the turquoise blue water. The conditions are fantastic: reliable thermal winds in the afternoon ensure sailing fun, while the many islands and bays offer protection from swell. This makes the route ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy relaxed sailing. During the day you swim in crystal-clear water, in the evening we often moor at the jetties of small restaurants where the tables are right on the water.

The most beautiful highlights of the Turkish Riviera

This cruise is a firework of impressions. The stop at Ölüdeniz with its famous Blue Lagoon is an absolute must. If you are looking for an adrenaline rush, you can experience the coast from a bird's eye view while paragliding. In Butterfly Valley, you will feel like you are in another world, surrounded by steep cliffs and pure nature. Culturally, Gemiler Island impresses with its Byzantine ruins, which you can stroll through. In the bays of Göcek or Sarsala Bay, you will find absolute peace and relaxation. And of course a visit to the charming harbor town of Kalkan or Kas, where you can stroll through narrow alleyways, is a must.
