| The magnificent coastline we have inherited from the Karians, Dorians and Lycians, is over 700 miles. Starting with the ancient town of Halicarnassus, today's Bodrum, the coastline offers a number of bays and historical sites like Cleopatra Island, English Harbour and Dorian city of Knidos (for which Praxiteles created his masterpiece, the Aphrodite statue). Many yachtsmen, delighted by the gentle, regular meltemi breeze, sail further south and reach Marmaris town, the so called "pearl" of Turkish coast. The picturesque coastline stretches itself further south to reach the Gulf of Fethiye and just located in midway between Fethiye and Marmaris are the amazing Kaunos City and the turtle beach of Dalyan. Once in the Gulf of Fethiye you will find a hiding place just for yourself in one of the countless bays, as once did Cleopatra and Antonius. The charming towns of Gocek and Fethiye, and the famous tomb of Amyntas serve as the sign of things to come on your southeastwards course . An ancient Lycian port and Byzantine settlement called Gei-niler Island and the old Greek ghost town of Karakoy will be on your port side while sailing from Fethiye to well known Dead sea " Oludeniz ". From there on, the typical coastal towns Kalkan and K.as will be offering many treasures of history and nature. Ancient Lycian cities like Letoon, Xanthos, Pmara and Patara. You will find Kekova, another important Lycian territory, on your way from Kas to Finike, the leading citrus producer of Turkey . Here, in an area of 6 miles radius you can visit ancient cities like Aperlae, Simena and Myra, you can take a look at St. Nicholas Church at Demre or you may simply choose to relax in one of the secluded bays of Kekova , From Finike to Antalya, the coastline is well decorated with numbers of bays which all provide good shelter, pine forests and various antiquity like the eternal flame of Olympos and the fascinating city of Hiaselis. |
