Turkish Riviera (Lycian Coast)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Lycian Coast, stretching along Turkey's southwestern shoreline between Fethiye and Antalya, is one of the Mediterranean's most scenic and historically rich stretches of coastline. Named after the ancient Lycian civilization, the region is dotted with remarkable ruins — rock-cut tombs, sunken cities, and well-preserved amphitheatres — set against a backdrop of pine-forested mountains plunging into turquoise waters. It's a premier destination for gulet cruising (the famous "Blue Voyage"), sailing, sea kayaking, and hiking the long-distance Lycian Way trail. Coastal towns like Kaş, Ölüdeniz, and Kalkan draw independent travellers and groups seeking a blend of outdoor adventure, ancient history, and relaxed Mediterranean beach culture.

Self-Launched Sailing Turkey: Fethiye to Bodrum

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 10-day catamaran cruise along Turkey's Lycian coast, from Fethiye to Bodrum. Instead of paying for a skippered 40ft catamaran, independent travellers can join a cheap shared "blue cruise" gulet (the classic Turkish coastal tradition) for the central Fethiye–Marmaris–Bodrum stretches, or piece together a mix of public ferries, dolmuş minibuses and the odd overnight gulet leg. You'll still swim in turquoise bays, snorkel over ancient ruins, hike the Lycian Way, soak in mud baths near Dalyan, and finish in Bodrum — for roughly half the price. Note: costs are approximate backpacker-level estimates in GBP; Turkey is excellent value outside peak (July–August) season.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Turkish Riviera (Lycian Coast) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
