🇹🇷 Turkey – Lycian Coast Mediterranean

Yoga • Hiking • Sailing

8 Days / 7 Nights

On the Trails of the Ancient Lycians

The Lycian Coast is considered by many sailing experts to be one of the most beautiful and unspoiled cruising areas in the world.

Between dramatic mountain scenery and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, this journey follows the ancient paths of the Lycian civilization — a culture whose history reaches back more than 3,000 years.

🌊 A Coast of Wild Beauty

Steep mountain slopes rise hundreds of meters above the sea, carved by rugged cliffs and wild ravines.
Hidden between them lie turquoise bays of breathtaking tranquility.

Along this coastline you will discover:

• Lycian rock-cut tombs carved into cliffs
• Numerous ancient cities from different civilizations
• Idyllic anchorages within a maze of small islands
• Remote beaches untouched by mass tourism

Each bay feels like a secret preserved by time.

🏛️ Sailing Through History

Near the legendary Kekova, you cruise above the famous sunken city.
Below the surface, the remains of ancient houses and walls shimmer in the clear water — silent witnesses of centuries past.

This region is rich with archaeological treasures and stories of forgotten kingdoms.

🐬 Nature in Its Purest Form

Dolphins, tuna and sea turtles often share these waters.
Pine forests, olive groves and citrus plantations line the hillsides.
Small fishing villages welcome us with authentic Mediterranean charm.

Here, sea and land exist in rare harmony.

🧘 A Journey of Balance

This retreat combines:

• Daily yoga sessions at sunrise and sunset
• Scenic coastal hikes
• Cultural excursions to ancient sites
• Swimming in pristine bays
• Deep relaxation under open skies

Movement and stillness.
Adventure and serenity.
History and horizon.

✨ A Mediterranean Experience

The Lycian Coast offers more than a holiday.
It offers connection — to nature, to ancient wisdom, and to yourself.

Experience a week where yoga, culture and sailing merge into one unforgettable journey along one of the most stunning coastlines of the Mediterranean. 🌊
