Rock-cut
temple tomb, Fethiye

This archaeological
cruise and cultural tour explores the virtually untouched coastline
of ancient Lycia, on Turkey's breathtaking turquoise coast.
Behind the soaring Taurus mountains an extraordinary culture
and a fiercely independent people developed. Their funerary
architecture, unlike anything else in the world, still litters
their once prosperous ports.
We step back in time, to see how these towns evolved from Greek,
Roman and Byzantine times to the present day. Their location,
history, and state of preservation make for some of the most
fascinating archaeological sites in the world.
Sailing aboard a luxurious gulet is simply the best way to explore
the maritime civilisation of the Lycians. We can reach otherwise
inaccessible places in relaxing and stylish fashion without
even the need to change hotels. There are frequent opportunities
to swim in the crystal waters of the Turquoise coast, windsurf,
kayak, or go for a hike and admire the flora.

The
gulet Almira near Gemiler
|
Once a day we visit
one of the antique cities that adorn Lycia's timeless coast.
We stroll along ancient roads lined with wild herbs, and through
olive trees strewn with rock tombs.
We have the chance to snorkel over sunken harbours and climb
rocky fastnesses for unrivalled vistas. From soaring aqueducts
to the best preserved Roman theatre in the world, each site
is an archaeological adventure, part of a historical puzzle
that reveals a remarkable story of human civilisation.
Please note the Sept 15 - Sept 29 trip is led by Jemma Reynolds,
a British archaeologist who loves Turkey and who is currently
living there, and is on the gulet Olympus, a lovely boat of
the same high standard as the Almira.

Lycian Turkey itinerary
It was
the loveliest and most memorable of vacations. Anyone
drawn by echoes of antiquity, the rise and fall of
empires, the spiritual quest, salt air, sunshine and
a beautiful well-manned boat would find it so.
