Terry and I along with 11 wonderful travelers enjoyed Sun-drenched skies, a warm, translucent sea, a dream world of astounding Greek, Byzantine, and Roman treasures, bountiful, freshly made meals served on deck, and expert Trip Leader, Yunus, who briought history alive.
Our idyllic voyage brought us all the delights of the Turquoise Coast. Traveling cove to cove by traditional gulet (wooden motor-sailing yacht)-and sailing, hiking, and swimming-is absolutely the best way to experience the “Turkish Riviera.” We snorkeled above the ruins of ancient Aperlæ, hiked to spectacular Lycian rock tombs, strolled the lanes of magnificent Ephesus, enjoyed lunch with a family in Bezirgan village, and savored on-board cuisine that's beyond fabulous.
Oh I forgot to mention 3 wonderful days exploring Istanbul and 4 days trekking Cappadocia and its wonderful geography.
