COAST TOUR
5
Day / 4 Night |
Private
Basis
Departures ex Antalya
This
tour is from Antalya to Marmaris, taking in
the following highlights:
-
The
picturesque city of Antalya with its ancient
Roman walled port, and the lovely ‘old
town’, Kaleici, with its beautifully
restored Ottoman mansions and Hadrian’s
Gate.
-
The
impressive ruins - including an amphitheatre
and a gymnasium - of Termessos, perched
at an altitude of over 1000 metres up a
mountainside. The mountain vistas from here
are spectacular.
-
Aspendos,
the best preserved amphitheatre in the world
and Perge - originally settled by the Hittites
around 1500 B.C. - with its great theatre,
stadium, huge Hellenistic and Roman gates,
and colonnaded street.
-
The
very pretty site of Phaselis with its ruins
and 3 harbours set amidst pine trees.
-
Demre,
with the best examples of Lycian tombs at
Myra and the Church and statue of St. Nicholas
- Santa Claus.
-
Sail
to Kekova, a peaceful group of picturesque
islands well scattered with very distinct
rock sarcophagi. Visit Kaleucagiz Castle,
view ancient houses submerged under clear
water.
-
Dalyan
Delta, where a real highlight is a trip
in a small local craft through a maze of
reeds. The delta, with a long, golden sandy
beach at its mouth, is a nature-conservation
area, and a refuge for large sea turtles
(caretta caretta) and blue crabs. A stop
will be made at Caunos which was an important
city and port on the Mediterranean from
400 B.C. until the harbour silted up and
the sea retreated 5km to the south. At a
bend in the river, high on the cliff face,
you can view magnificent tombs which were
carved into the rock in the 6th century
B.C

Cruise the spectacular treelined coast of
the historic Mediterranean, dropping anchor
in fabulous secluded bays and colourful fishing
harbours . . .
Enjoy
your relaxing journey which carries you to
the private beach and baths of Cleopatra -
part of the shoreline given to her as a wedding
present by Anthony, the eternal fires of Chimaera,
and the myriad archaeological remains of ancient
civilizations. A highlight of this cruise
is an excursion (pay locally) on a small craft
through a maze of reeds in the Dalyan Delta.
The
delta, with a long, sandy beach at its mouth,
is a nature-conservation area, and a refuge
for large sea turtles (caretta caretta) and
blue crabs. At a bend in the river, high on
the cliff face above the fascinating ancient
harbour city of Caunos, you can view magnificent
tombs which were carved into the rock in the
6th century B.C.
Turkey
offers some of the most spectacular sailing
waters in the world, with its tiny islets
and coves fringed with pine forests and olive
groves, and a chance to explore the world’s
greatest civilizations. From some of the Turquoise
Coast’s unspoilt and sheltered bays,
you can see mountain peaks rising to almost
3000 metres above sea level. Fortunately,
Turkey’s modern facilities and comfort
have not overshadowed her ancient hospitality
and slower pace of life.
