We step back in time, to see how these towns evolved from Greek, Roman and Byzantine times to the present day. Their location, history, and state of preservation make for some of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world.
Sailing aboard a luxurious gulet is simply the best way to explore the maritime civilisation of the Lycians. We can reach otherwise inaccessible places in relaxing and stylish fashion without even the need to change hotels. There are frequent opportunities to swim in the crystal waters of the Turquoise coast, windsurf, kayak, or go for a hike and admire the flora.
We have the chance to snorkel over sunken harbours and climb rocky fastnesses for unrivalled vistas.
From soaring aqueducts to the best preserved Roman theatre in the world, each site is an archaeological adventure, part of a historical puzzle that reveals a remarkable story of human civilisation.

It was the loveliest and most memorable of vacations. Anyone drawn by echoes of antiquity, the rise and fall of empires, the spiritual quest, salt air, sunshine and a beautiful well-manned boat would find it so.
