I got back from this trip 5 days ago. Everything was great! I don’t know where to start with my rave reviews. Our group leader was Ilham and he was amazing! His English was great and he helped us with translation at the restaurants and vendors. I loved stopping to eat at very local and family places. One place for Turkish pizzas had the whole family pitching in and we were outside near the brick oven with chickens and ducks running past us! I really appreciated that our money went to LOCAL and FAMILY run businesses! Ilham would download the tickets to the sites on his phone in advance, he made our entry so quick. He was always one step ahead of the game! Logistics were flawless, because he knew when to get to the various sites to avoid the crowds as much as possible. I enjoyed the modest hotels, once again family run and usually very convenient to the town center. This trip fulfilled all my expectations and then some! Ed
Turquoise Coast
Turquoise Coast Trips
The Turquoise Coast – or Turkish Riviera to some – has the clearest, bluest waters in Turkey. In short, a magnificent setting for a small-group adventure.
The small port town of Kaş is the ideal base. Situated on the Teke Peninsula, it was known as Habesos or Habesa to the ancient Lycians, and Antiphellos to the ancient Greeks. Today, it’s home to Lycian sarcophagi and a well-preserved Hellenistic theatre that once seated 4,000 spectators, plus cobbled streets, handicraft shops and lively cafes.
You can also take a boat trip to the sunken city by Kekova island or kickback on the sands of Kaputas Beach. Then, of course, there are plenty of water sports to enjoy. Stay above water in a kayak or plunge the depths on a scuba dive, keeping a look out for coral-feeding parrotfish, electric-blue damselfish and much more.
