Sailing Western Lycia

This cultural tour and sailing vacation explores a quite beautiful stretch of coastline behind which an extraordinary culture and a fiercely independent people developed.

Lycian tombs at Xanthus

Once a day we visit one of the antique cities that adorn this timeless coast. We stroll along ancient roads lined with wild herbs, or through olive trees strewn with rock tombs.

We have the chance to snorkel over sunken harbours, and climb rocky fastnesses for unrivalled vistas. From mighty theatres to churches floored with mosaics, each site is an archaeological adventure, part of a historical puzzle that reveals a remarkable story of human civilisation.

Local boat at Kekova, Lycia, southern Turkey

 

 


Typical traffic around Kekova in southern Turkey

Every day there are plenty of opportunities to swim in the crystal waters of the Turquoise coast, or to windsurf, kayak, or go for a hike.

Highlights include Xanthus, the great capital of ancient Lycia, whose magnificent treasures caused an extraordinary stir when they were brought to the British Museum.

Clinging to Gemiler Island is a small town that shone only in Byzantine times, resplendent with an avenue of churches. It’s just one highpoint in this fascinating gulet cruise.
