Description

We head west on a stylish traditional Turkish gulet from Gocek to Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus, along a gorgeous and virtually undeveloped coastline.

We know that a gulet cruise makes for a fun and fascinating family holiday. Children love playing in the sea and exploring the ancient ruins - taking the stage and performing in the Greek and Roman theatres.

From lizards to wild herbs, tortoises to all manner of creepy crawlies, there's a wealth of Mediterranean animals and plants for children to discover. There's wonderful new Turkish foods to savour, different sounds to hear, and loads to see - a truly exotic adventure.

This family tour in Turkey is a perfect combination of magnificent sites, quiet coves, wondrous walks, breathtaking vistas and glorious swims.

Highlights

We visit some of the greatest gems on Turkey's southwest coast: Caunos with its exquisite rock-cut temple tombs, and beautifully preserved Knidos, a monumental marbled city arranged around a double harbour.

As well as these celebrated monumental sites where excavations have been going on for decades, we visit ancient towns like Phoenix and Lydae, set in remote and beautiful locations, that remain completely untouched.
