Escape the hustle and bustle - experience the rustic charm only Turkey can offer. Moor to rickety, wooden quays in secluded bays often accessible only by boat. Turkey offers sunshine, sailing and a wonderful friendly welcome.

Eating Out - Each small bay has its own family run restaurant offering a wonderful choice of starters or ‘Meze’ such as bean salad, calamari, aubergine dip or borek - filo pastry rolls stuffed with spinach and cheese. The main dishes are grilled chicken and lamb or kekabs and occasionally stews cooked in a traditional oven in earthenware pots served with rice or potatoes - delicious! The grilled or pan fried beef steak is excellent and very good value. There is a good selection of fish but it can be expensive. Some restaurants bake their own bread and you will find that most mornings someone will come to your boat offering fresh bread and pastries even in the most remote bays.

Currency - Lire (A beer costs £1 and a simple meal approx. £9-£12).

Weather Conditions

The wind along the Lycian coast is a reliable north westerly known as the Meltem which normally blows from force 2 to 4, occasionally 5 to 6, regularly from mid to late morning until late afternoon. Wind often picks up near headlands and in the narrow channels. In the Gulf of Fethiye the prevailing wind in the summer months is south westerly to south gusting over steep slopes, which makes for some exciting sailing in flat water.
