Turkey's Turquoise Coast is an astoundingly under hyped holiday destination. Endearing seaside towns, shrubby mountain backdrops and private coves with shimmering blue sea are being totally missed by the masses. Which makes it perfect for us to explore. Picture yourself aboard a traditional Turkish gulet boat, eating home cooked meals and lapping up sunshine between snorkels.

Day 1

Fethiye to Boncuklu Bay

Welcome aboard our gulet, a traditional Turkish sailing boat straight out of your dreams and into reality! We can already picture ourselves jumping from its decks into the sparkling sea during our swim stops...but right now, the show sets sail in Fethiye. After you’ve unloaded your luggage and met up with your new crew, we’ll be on our merry way to Boncuklu Bay. When we arrive, we’ll stop for a cheeky swim and admire one of the region’s most beautiful beaches - before tucking into our first of many delicious dinners.Accommodation: Sailing Yacht

Boncuklu Bay to St Nicholas Island via Ölüdeniz

And here we are in the oh-so scenic Ölüdeniz – known for its blue lagoon and views of the Babada? Mountain...After tonight’s dinner, you’re free to explore the island. We recommend checking out the ancient architecture and hunting down the OG tomb of St Nicholas himself.Accommodation: Sailing Yacht

Day 3

St Nicholas Bay to Bayindir Bay via Ka? and Firnaz

Ge’bye, Gemile! It’s been fun, but now we must move on towards Ka?. We’ll stop off here for breakfast and a good old swim in the sea. There’s some seriously splendid scenery to admire here, so make sure you dry off for long enough to get some salty snaps of the saucy sea. Let's take a break in Kas, this quaint seaside town known for its charming whitewashed houses and the 'Lion's Tomb', decorated with two statues of lion's heads. Try not to fall too heard over heels as you and your pride head out on the prowl. Next we're taking a leisurely sail to Bayindir Bay where we'll park for the night. With gorgeous turquoise waters and white cliffs locking you in, you'll spend a fairytale-like evening with your crew!Accommodation: Sailing Yacht

Myra to Ye?ilköy via Kalkan

Expect spellbinding views of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, plus sprawling seas and jutting valleys dotted with cliffside shrubbery. And back to where it all began. For one last time, you’re free to wander into the pretty Turkish harbour town of Fethiye and sample the local culture and cuisine. You’ll also have the chance to try a traditional Turkish Hamam, AKA best bath ever.Accommodation: Sailing Yacht
Meals: Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 8

End Fethiye

We’ll check out in the morning today, but you and your crew have the world (more specifically the Mediterranean Sea) at your feet now, so why not keep the adventure going? Seriously though, if you do have time to spare before you go home, go check out Butterfly Valley. It’ll give you butterflies. The good kind. And you won’t regret it.

Prepare to spend more than usual on a Contiki tour.

EM Elizabeth on Apr 09, 2017

We were lucky that the group of people with were good, but it was a large group tour and did have some of the downfalls of a trip of that nature, like frequent breaks for the bathroom, difficulty when eating out together, and getting things on and off the coach. The trip was still great and a good value for the money.

OM Omar on Jun 10, 2016

It was a good value and the experiences included were worth it. The only part that wasn't the best were the accommodations as it was hit and miss. Half of the hotels on the trip were okay, and the other half were really nice.

MZ Maria on Oct 21, 2015

I had an amazing trip!
