Sailing the turquoise waters of the Southern Turkey is a unique experience of cool sailing adventure many times combined with historical and cultural feature as Turkey is the land of ancient cities, breathless scenery, endless coastline, steep cliffs, sandy beaches, crystal warm waters and favorable winds.
The weather conditions in Turkey are ideal for sailing, enjoying mild and sunny climate from early April till mid November.
The prevailing winds in summer, in the Greek Aegean sea known as Meltemi, make the heat bearable and provide you a pleasant vacation. Their strength increases during the day and weakens gradually before sunset. During your sailing vacation, you can stop as many times as you like in numerous bays and coves, finding a safe anchorage and enjoying the natural landscape.
The Gulf of Fethiye is a yachtsman’s paradise with so many sheltered anchorages, coves and islands with crystal clear water and protected coves for a tranquil night on anchor. The Gulf of Fethiye is a stunning setting for a relaxed sailing holiday in an unspoiled area, with pine covered fjord-like anchorages with names such as Four Fathom Bay, Ruin Bay, Wall Bay and Tomb Bay, evidence of an ancient Lycian civilization.
Start your yacht charter from Fethiye or Göcek, both easily reached from Dalaman airport. Fethiye is a friendly harbor town with waterfront boulevard and pedestrianised town center lined with taverns and shops selling everything from carpets to spices. Göcek is a yachting center but has lost none of its authentic Turkish charm.
This sailing holiday is perfect for families with children. The crystal clear water in sheltered coves makes swimming and snorkeling a true delight.
Bodrum is the ideal starting point for sailing the Aegean coast of Turkey. The Gökova Gulf is acknowledged to be one of the best cruising areas in Europe. With abundant sunshine, crystal clear waters, continuous blue skies and good anchorages, this coast offers many diversities. There are many unspoiled areas rich in natural beauty.
Wherever you may come from, and however old you may be, after a week or two afloat in this scenic wonderland, you will become of one heart with the beauty and serenity of nature.
Departing Bodrum, you really do leave civilisation behind and enter a world of pine clad mountains falling precipitously to the waters edge, blue and turquoise coloured seas and the remnants of ancient civilisations waiting to be explored.
