Turkey Itinerary: Göcek - Kekova

Turkey is one of the most impressive cruising grounds in the Eastern Mediterranean. The aqua-green waters are crystalclear, the ports are filled with exotic shopping bazaars, and the coastline is home to the ruins of ancient civilization. Charters can include walking amid amphitheaters that are thousands of years old on the same day that you swim in a private cove and sample a dinner featuring local raki and kebobs. Even better, because Turkey remains an up-and coming charter destination, the value that you can get for your yacht vacation investment is truly outstanding.
