Turkiye

Cruise the Turquoise Coast, where the pine-clad bays of Bodrum, Göcek and Fethiye meet Lycian ruins and the traditional gulets of the Aegean and Mediterranean.

01 — Discover Türkiye

Türkiye’s coastline is one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating places to explore by yacht, where turquoise bays, ancient ruins, pine-covered hills, and historic harbour towns meet across a remarkably varied landscape. Stretching along the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, Türkiye offers a sailing experience shaped by sheltered gulfs, dramatic peninsulas, traditional fishing villages, and some of the clearest waters in the region.

The southwest coast is especially celebrated for yachting. Around Bodrum, Marmaris, Göcek, and Fethiye, countless bays and islands create natural cruising grounds with calm anchorages and short, scenic passages between destinations.

Ancient history is woven directly into the coastline. Classical ruins, Lycian tombs, Byzantine remains, and centuries-old fortresses can often be discovered within sight of the sea. Further south, the Turkish Riviera opens towards Antalya, where mountains rise dramatically behind long stretches of coastline and historic ports. With warm waters, exceptional cruising conditions, rich culture, and a strong maritime tradition, Türkiye offers one of the Mediterranean’s most complete yacht experiences.

04 — Best Time To Visit Türkiye

Türkiye’s Aegean and Mediterranean coasts share hot, dry summers, but the meltem, the steady summer north-westerly, blows harder around Bodrum and the Gulf of Gökova than in the sheltered bays of Göcek and Kaş.

May – June: The pine forests are green, the gulets are starting their season and the sea warms steadily towards midsummer.

July – August: The sea is at its warmest, Bodrum and Göcek are at their fullest, and the southern bays give the calmest anchorages on days when the meltem is strong.

September – October: The water holds its summer warmth while the air cools, which suits walks to Lycian tombs and long lunches at bay restaurants with their own jetties.
