Our trip along a section of the Mediterranean coast offers a smorgasbord of historical and cultural experiences. Designed for people with some paddling experience, our first 7 days is a 120 km self-contained kayak trip from Köyceğiz to Göcek. Camping on remote beaches, paddling beneath Lycian tombs carved into sheer rock faces, hiking up rugged hillsides for expansive views over the sparkling turquoise Mediterranean, keeping eyes peeled for giant turtles, visiting hot springs and exploring ancient ruins, we experience a wild and natural area of Turkey.
At Göcek, we farewell our kayaks and board a comfortable 6-cabin gulet (traditional handcrafted motor sailor) for a cruise to Kemer, with optional paddling using inflatable kayaks. We take in ancient cities, royal tombs and historic sites like Gemiler, Simena, Olimpos and Phaselis. At the delightful harbour town of Kas we explore narrow alleyways, carpet emporiums and cafes. Of course, there's also time for swimming and relaxing. Our exact itinerary will vary depending on weather conditions and opportunities along the way.
