This is a wonderful walking/sailing holiday where you can see places in Turkey that you wouldn't see on a typical tour. It was amazing to be hiking and stumble across ancient ruins in many places -- and not see a single other person. I imagined that I was walking in the footsteps of Homer.

Cycle and cruise the Lycian Coast between Bodrum and Fethiye. There are few coastlines which offer the appealing combination of sublime landscapes, rich cultural history and legacies from ancient civilisations found on Turkey's Lycian Coast. We spend a week discovering the coastline and backcountry between Bodrum and Fethiye with our three-masted motor yacht. Our charming and stylish vessel is built to the highest of standards.

Admire the famous tombs of Dalyan, which were cut into the cliffs between 4 and 2 BC by the Lycian coastal inhabitants, and the spectacular Saklikent Canyon.

Overall a great trip. Our guides were wonderful and very helpful. Not all of the hotels were up to standard. The Marina Hotel In Kusadasi was the worst. Very shabby, dirty, and the water was turned off at night The front desk offered no explanation, just that it would be back on at 5:00. The Pasabey Hotel in Marmaris also not very good, and they turned their wifi off at night, until 8 a.m. This is unacceptable. We had trouble with the wifi in all the hotels except in Istanbul. Very difficult for a traveller with no cell phone data. The food set meal in the Hilton, Safranbolu was terrible. Staff were extremely unhelpful, and would not supply small extras such as butter. Very surprising for a Hilton. The itinerary was great - lots of interesting, beautiful and historic sites. Nice to have the ferry and boat rides included during the tour. Could have done without the carpet and leather shops.
