Turkey Overview
About Turkey
From slender minarets and ancient domes to fertile plains with cotton, grapes, and olives, Turkey warmly embraces its east-meets-west origins. Walk in the steps of Silk Road traders, Julius Caesar, and Alexander the Great to discover ancient ruins, dazzling harbours, and vibrant cities alive with energetic street life.
The Turquoise Coast, Turkey’s southern coastline, is a popular Mediterranean yacht charter destination. Dramatic and diverse, its hidden coves, rustic villages, and picturesque settings combine with modern luxury. Lapped by warm, transparent waters, it’s perfect for exploring beneath the waterline.
Istanbul, the vivacious capital, bursts with Byzantine treasures, glittering mosques, and smart hotels. Visitors can explore the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the breathtaking frescoes of the Chora Museum. Bodrum, with its whitewashed houses and twin bays, is a magnet for yachtsmen.
Marmaris, Turkey’s yachting capital, rests on one of the world’s largest harbours, a sweeping bay backed by majestic mountains. Discover secluded islands and snorkel in clear waters. The Gulf of Gocek, home to four main Turkish marinas, remains a charming fishing village. Turkey’s allure and varied attractions ensure pleasure and relaxation for all visitors.
