Turquoise water Sailing in Turkey means cruising along many gulfs and bays of very  much indented Turkish coastline. It is also a journey back in time, with a plethora of archaeological sites, castles and temples that reflect its importance in ancient and medieval times.  Especially the south-west coast – roughly speaking the stretch of coastline from Izmir via Kusadasi, Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye and Kas to Antalya – is an ideal cruising ground. This stretch of Turkish coastline is usually divided into four different yacht charter areas. • The Ionian Coast: Izmir – Kusadasi – Güllük – Bodrum, a coastline which happens  to have the best climate for sailing  and   shores of  the rich culture of the Ionians and their great philosophers. • The western Carian Coast: Bodrum – Marmaris, the most popular sailing ground which includes the two largest yacht charter bases in Turkey: Bodrum and Marmaris. • The eastern  Karian  Coast : Marmaris – Fethiye, the pirate coast with its wild, mountainous shores and hundreds of hidden coves. • The Lycian Coast: Fethiye – Kas – Finike – Antalya, rock tombs and solid stone sarcophagus.
