Lycian Cruise(Trip #64703)

Tour Overview

This unique Turkey cruise holiday spends a week of cruising along the Turquoise Coast east of Kalkan, exploring the small bays and coves on a traditional Turkish boat, know as a 'Caique'. The area is famed for its stunning scenery, crystal clear waters, and in early and late season there is a good chance of seeing dolphins. Trips ashore include a walk on the Lycian Way, climb to the castle at Simena, snorkel over the ruins at Aperlai, and kayaking at Kekova. Our accommodation is a delightful mixture of hotels, family-run pensions and beach camps where we are often the only people for miles around.
