Antalya
Ottoman History Meets Beach Life
Ottoman History Meets Beach Life
Antalya is Barcelona meets Nice. Spiced with eastern promise and Turkish delight. Turkey’s fifth-biggest city is its most liberal. Expect film festivals, beach bars, street markets, alfresco clubs. All centred around a 2,000-year-old marina that once welcomed St Paul and Emperor Hadrian.

Your Guide to Antalya
It’s worth riding your tender to Antalya’s marina for the food alone. Join the Y.CO food tour for aubergine shakshuka, followed by kabak tatlisi sugared pumpkin desserts. Or ask chef to recreate Turkish classics like swordfish skewer kebabs. Dine on deck while overlooking Antalya’s Duden Waterfall, which crashes into the Mediterranean Sea. Your yacht, your rules.
Just inland, Antalya goes wild. Pilot an open-top jeep into the Taurus Mountains for lost-in-time villages and river swims. Take a microlight flight across Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast. Enjoy a show at Aspendos, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. Once-in-a-lifetime sights can be reserved by one call to your Y.CO Charter Specialist.
Tarmac roads were laid from Antalya to Kas in the 1980s. This hippy-chic port remains a devil to drive to - but a cinch to reach by sea. Isolation has protected a coastline alive with Bonelli's eagles and loggerhead turtles. The most excellent adventure? In 220CE a massive earthquake submerged the classical city of Kas. Imagine Pompeii - at sea. Kayak past tombs, temples, amphitheatres and agoras, half-sunk in the Mediterranean.
Mass tourism never sailed as far as Kalkan. This sleepy port hosts yachting's holy trinity: friendly marina, pavement cafés, golden sand. Inland? Unlimited adventure. Leap off cliffs with a paraglide. Careen down creeks on a mountain bike. Whitewater through Saklikent Gorge, Europe’s second-grandest canyon. The comedown? A 120-minute massage on your Y.CO yacht. Dinner is ready when you are.
