Your Guide to Turkey
YOUR GUIDE TO TURKEY
In ancient times the Turkish Coast hosted the richest civilisations on earth. Greek, Persian, Roman, Lycian, Byzantine, Ottoman. Yet tarmac roads only reached these shores in the 1990s. You will snorkel over Roman harbours (in Gocek). Kayak over sunken tombs (in Kas). eBike to Greek temples (in Didim). It’s Indiana Jones. With meze and Turkish Chardonnay.
Your Guide to Turkey
The most modern attractions remain boat-only. Like Catalada Island, where loggerhead turtles say hi to divers in 28°C seas. Or Iztuzu Beach, 5km of golden sand, in an ecological zone where hotels are banned. No exaggeration: your Y.CO yacht will comprise the only accommodation, restaurant and scuba centre for miles around.
Your Guide to Turkey
Other destinations drop the beat. Like Turkbuku, where Istanbul A-listers dance ‘til dawn then leap into swimming pool seas. And Bodrum, where your Y.CO Charter Specialist has booked top tables that would make Alain Ducasse or Yotam Ottolenghi weep with envy. Searching for serenity? There’s a vivid blue bay just around the corner. Decked out by your crew with parasols, loungers, yoga mats, volleyball nets and mango smoothies.
REASONS TO VISIT
That’s the beauty of the Turkish Coast. In every bay, there’s every activity, for every age. Like Armutlu Su Bay. On its mirror-calm surface, your charter party can windsurf, kitesurf or tumble off an inflatable. Under the waves they can snorkel, scuba or freedive. The bay’s beach club stocks cocktails, cakes and rocket-powered Turkish coffee. All too much? Stay on deck to paint, read or relax in a Jacuzzi with crew on demand.
You read that right. In 2007 Bodrum diving groups purchased a Dakota C47 parachute training plane from the Turkish Air Force. Then sank it in 18m of sealife-rich seas. In 2019 one Turkish Coast destination went bigger. By purposely sinking a 65m-long Airbus A330 on the Aegean sea bed. It’s now being colonised by groupers and bream as the world’s longest airplane dive.
The birthplace of an array of ancient civilisations, Turkey is bursting with fascinating locations just waiting for you to explore them by sail. Head to the picturesque city of Bodrum to enjoy a spot of fishing at the port or spend the day at Antalya's alfresco establishments.
