Turkish Riviera Discovery Guide: The Turquoise Coast Awaits
The Turquoise Coast, a paradise of hidden coves and ancient rock tombs, is the ideal route for travelers with an adventurous spirit. Also known as the "Turquoise Shores," there's no better way to appreciate the true beauty of the Turkish Riviera than gliding through sparkling blue waters on your private yacht, basking in the Mediterranean sun.
Whether you're celebrating with friends, vacationing with family, or enjoying a romantic getaway, you won't find anywhere as enchanting as Turkey's Turquoise Coast. Here are five must-do activities to maximize your Turkey yacht charter experience:
Blue Voyage Essentials
Mediterranean Snorkeling
Chartering a yacht is the perfect way to explore the coastline both above and below the water. One of life's greatest pleasures is stopping for lunch and diving into the inviting, life-filled Mediterranean waters. Turkey's shores are dotted with amazing snorkeling spots; particularly the calm waters of Fethiye Bay and the Carian Coast offer a unique underwater world to discover.
Turkish Bazaar Shopping
While the sea is beautiful enough to spend days cruising along the coast, there's plenty to explore in the coastal towns too. Spend your days wandering the country's most colorful markets, indulging your senses in that unique mix of sights, sounds, and scents. From Fethiye's famous fish market to wonderful local boutiques, the experience on land is just as captivating as at sea.
Embrace History
The Turkish Riviera is a place like no other. The mysterious coastline, waiting to be discovered, is full of clues to the ancient civilizations that once called Turkey home. From the impressive ruins of the ancient city of Telmessos to Dalyan's extraordinary Rock Tombs, there's so much to discover when sailing the Turquoise Coast.
Enjoy the Nightlife
Whether you're vacationing with close friends or a romantic partner, the Turquoise Coast is the perfect place to party. After a day exploring the Mediterranean, there's no better way to unwind than dancing at Marmaris's open-air clubs or socializing at Bodrum's lively bars. Even the quietest towns come alive at night, making this an experience not to be missed.
Wander Through Old Towns
Explore Fethiye's Lycian tombs, Bodrum's cheerful streets and medieval castle, or take a trip to the tip of the Datca Peninsula to the ancient trading city of Knidos, nestled among olive trees. Feast on mouthwatering Turkish delights, wander through vibrant shops, and celebrate your vacation at one of the stylish bars with unmissable sea views.
