Overview

Traditional Turkish Gulet

Known the world over as "the cradle of civilizations", Turkey lies between Asia and Europe, serving as a bridge between the east and west. As we explore this historic land, tracing the roots of the Greeks, Lycian, Roman Byzantine, Ottomans, we'll have a unique focus on the matriarchs and the mother goddesses of this land: Cybele, Queen Ada, Hurrem Sultan, Empress Zoe, and many other remarkable women. After three enchanting days in Istanbul, we'll continue to Izmir, visiting Ephesus, one of the world's best-preserved ancient sites. Next we board our traditional Turkish Gulet, a beautifully handcrafted motor yacht that will be our home for five nights while we explore the Turquoise Coast and unspoiled countryside. Our journey offers ample time to walk, swim, snorkel, and reflect on the magical significance of this region. Cappadocia by plane. Witness the surrealistic geological formations, the "fairy chimneys". Walk through amazing slot canyons filled with rock cut churches, underground cities, and natural rock castles. Taste local wines and try your hand at throwing pottery, a tradition dating back 3000 years. Come join us, along with your expert guide, for an unforgettable Mediterranean coastal odyssey.
