Turquoise Coast, Turkey

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Turquoise Coast is a stretch of southwestern Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean shoreline, running roughly from Bodrum to Antalya and named for the vivid blue-green colour of its waters. The region is renowned for its dramatic scenery — pine-forested cliffs, hidden coves, and ancient Lycian ruins — drawing sailors, divers, and history enthusiasts in equal measure. Sailing a traditional gulet between bays such as Göcek, Ölüdeniz, and Kas is one of Turkey's most iconic travel experiences. The area also offers excellent hiking along the Lycian Way, one of the world's great long-distance trails, alongside lively resort towns like Bodrum and Marmaris.

Fethiye to Olympos Gulet Cruise: Self-Launched 4-Day Turquoise Coast Sail

A self-launched version of Alaturka Turkey's 4-day/3-night Fethiye-to-Olympos blue cruise. Rather than paying for the packaged group tour, you book a shared-cabin spot on a standard gulet directly with a Fethiye or Kas-based boat operator (or via GetYourGuide/Klook for English-language departures), which typically includes the same route — Butterfly Valley, Oludeniz, Kalkan, Kas, Kekova sunken city, Simena Castle — plus all meals cooked onboard. You handle your own onward bus to Olympos/Demre. Costs below are approximate backpacker/budget rates in GBP and assume a shared cabin with no single supplement; boat fuel surcharges and marina fees are sometimes quoted separately, so confirm inclusions before booking.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Turquoise Coast, Turkey yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

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."
