Top Ten Turkey Classic Adventures

Put yourself in a blue mood along the Aegean coast

A "Blue Cruise" along the magnificent Aegean or Mediterranean coastline will be a highlight of any trip to Turkey. Graceful wooden gulets (yachts) drift from bay to bay, dropping anchor so you can swim in the crystal-clear, azure water before tucking into a feast prepared by your crew. Many bays are graced with magnificent Lycian, Greek, or Roman ruins surrounded by lush vegetation. Book your gulet from home or ask around in the harbors of Bodrum, Marmaris, Dalyan, Fethiye, or Antalya. Take three days or three weeks for your tour—just watch out for wily captains who'll sting you for your bar bill or end the trip early.
