Soak in the Turquoise Coast of Turkey 🇹🇷☀️ Coastal Towns and Turkish Gulet Cruise

Guided trip
The southern coast of Turkey from Antalya to Marmaris is famous for its turquoise blue waters, beaches, forts, castles and ruins from Lycian, Greek, Roman & Ottoman times and beautiful coastal towns with great food and rich museums. Join me and explore this amazing stretch covering Alanya, Antalya, Olympos, Kas, Oludeniz and Fethiye. It will be a mix of exploring Alanya and Antalya (3 days) through city tours by walk/local transport and the coastal towns through a Turkish Gulet cruise (4 days) (wooden boat with private cabins, fresh food, water sports and stop-overs at important sites for a quick city tour). I am coming from India and start the trip at Antalya. So you can join me at Antalya. After completing the turquoise coast, the plan is to go to Istanbul and explore the melting pot of east and west through city tours for 3+ days. You are free to join me there too. The trip starts at Antalya on 27th May. The accommodation will be arranged in pretty good hotels on a twin sharing basis. I do not compromise on safety or quality of stay. Included: - Stay in hotels (shared rooms) - Transport between cities by bus/train/taxi - The 3 night 4 day Olympos-fethiye Gulet cruise includes all meals, accomodation and activities available on the cruise Not included: - Food and drinks - Paragliding, Scuba Diving or other adventure activities - Entries to museums/parks/monuments My name is Keerthi. I'm from India. It's a custom tailored trip for my places that seemed very attractive to me. My objective for this trip is to have immersive experiences in Turkey's ancient towns, cities and places of natural beauty. I also wish to taste a lot of Turkish cuisine, seafood and coffee! See you in Turkey!
