Yachting in Turkey: Secrets of the Aegean Coast

Yachting in Turkey - sailing along the Lycian trail

Turkey’s Aegean coast is the perfect combination of natural beauty, ancient history and oriental hospitality. Turquoise sea, rugged rocky shores, dozens of bays and islands, pine forests and gentle climate – all this makes the region one of the best yachting destinations in the world.

It’s easy to combine a relaxing vacation at anchor with busy days ashore: swimming in lagoons, strolling through ancient towns, fishing villages, nature reserves and gastronomic discoveries in coastal taverns. Each anchorage is a new experience, and the short crossings make the route comfortable and accessible even for beginners.

Sailing along the Aegean coast offers a rare opportunity to be in a place where history and nature are not separated. Antique ruins by the water, Lycian tombs carved into the cliffs and the warm evening breeze are the Turkish rhythm that keeps you coming back again and again.
