Carbon Neutral Trip

The best way to explore Türkiye's coastline? By yacht, no doubt. From cruising cobalt bays and exploring ancient ruins in Knidos and Loryma, to pedalling past pine forests, olive groves and sleepy hilltop villages, every day offers a fresh perspective on this storied shoreline. Add in riverboat rides, seaside lunches, raki tastings and swims straight from the deck of your private yacht, and you’ve got the ultimate Aegean adventure.

Incredible Rides

Pedal along winding coastal roads, past olive groves, pine forests, and dramatic cliffs—with unforgettable views of the Aegean and Mediterranean at nearly every turn. 


Floating Hotel

Explore the stunning Turquoise Coast from the luxury of your private yacht. Equipped with water toys, a world-class crew and a front-row seat to one of the most enchanting coastlines on earth, you may never leave. 


Insider Access

Immerse yourself in Türkiye’s vibrant culture, from traditional village life to a culinary tour tracing the Cretan influences that shape Bodrum’s distinctive cuisine.
