The Turkish Riviera and the Aegean coast are one of the most beautiful sailing regions in the world.
Along this varied coastline, where even the Taurus mountains sometimes come up on the horizon, you can find small and larger fishing villages and busy cities.
Depending on preferences and weather, sailors can individually decide whether they prefer to anchor in a peaceful bay or dock in a well-equipped modern marina or in a romantic city port. The farther south, the less the Meltemi wind blows in the summer months, providing a pleasant coolness at the sea and a clear blue sky. Because of the long summer temperatures, the clear and very clean water of the Mediterranean is so pleasant and temperate that jumping into it quickly becomes an everyday ritual.
The variety of Turkish cuisine can be found in many restaurants. A wide range of freshly caught fish, cold snacks ("mezze") as well as delicious meat dishes are being offered.
Millennial testimonies of European culture accompany sailors during their cruise. In addition to ancient monuments and ruins, medieval fortresses and castles can be seen high above the coast. Who would like to see the ancient wonders of the world of Halicarnassus and Ephesus, the ancient Troy, Pergamon or the Lycian rock tombs should plan more than one holiday on the Turkish coast.
