Pedaling, Yachting & Kayaking Along the Mediterranean
Winding your way through the timeless Turkish countryside and
along the dazzling Mediterranean Coast, you're more likely to
encounter herds of goats than cars. Savor the intoxicating scent
of tangerine, orange and lemon blossoms from orchards along the
way. Where culture and tradition endure, you'll find skillful
weavers creating such richly colored textiles as kilims and
sumacs. Meander through ruins dating back to the 7th century
B.C. and feast on grilled fresh fish, sun-ripened tomatoes,
eggplant, feta cheese and olives. On this Backroads cultural
odyssey, pedal, swim, hike and stargaze from the deck of our
traditional Turkish gulet. And let the heart, soul and natural
beauty of Turkey captivate you.
