The Turkish Riviera stretches along Turkey's southwestern Mediterranean coastline, with resort towns like Kemer and the ancient sunken ruins of Kekova among its most iconic stops. Kemer is known for its pine-backed beaches, clear turquoise waters, and lively marina, making it a popular base for sailing and water sports. Kekova is famed for its partially submerged Lycian ruins visible through the sea, drawing history lovers and boat-trippers alike. The region blends ancient history with stunning coastal scenery, attracting travellers who come for gulet cruises, snorkelling, sea kayaking, and exploring well-preserved Roman and Byzantine sites.

Self-Launched Gulet Cruise: Kemer to Kekova and Back

This 8-day self-launched version of Destination Services Turkey's popular gulet cruise replicates the magical Turkish Riviera sailing route from Kemer to Kekova and back — but done independently and at a fraction of the operator price. The beauty of this itinerary is that the anchor destinations (Olympos, Demre/Myra, the Sunken City of Kekova, Simena, Phaselis and Antalya) sit on the mainland coast, which means you can hop between a series of laid-back harbour towns using local buses and dolmuşes, base yourself in charming coastal pensions with sea views, and still take day-boat excursions out to the coves and ancient ruins. You'll sail past the same dramatic pine-clad cliffs and swim in the same turquoise bays as the gulet passengers, but with total freedom over your schedule, budget and pace. A classic slow-travel paradise for beach lovers and history buffs alike.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
