GUIDE TO TURKEY
What Awaits You in Turkey?
Turkey is a Mediterranean crossroads where Asia meets Europe, and history meets luxury. Its coastline spans four seas—the Aegean, Mediterranean, Black Sea, and Sea of Marmara—each offering unique landscapes and experiences. From Bodrum’s bustling marinas to Fethiye’s tranquil bays and the secluded coves of the Lycian Coast, Turkey combines natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. Seen from a yacht, the country unfolds as a mosaic of ancient ruins, sun-drenched islands, and picturesque harbors, all framed by clear turquoise waters and rugged cliffs.
