Cruising the Carian Coast - A2M

Cruising the Carian Coast - A2M Overview

This gulet cruise offers a marvellous mix of fantastic ancient sites, including monumental wonders like Knidos and Kaunos and gorgeous landscapes – it is probably the least developed stretch of Turkey’s turquoise coast.

On this gulet holiday in Turkey we head east from Bodrum to Göcek along a gorgeous and virtually undeveloped coastline.

We visit some of the greatest gems on Turkey’s southwest coast: Kaunos with its exquisite rock-cut temple tombs, and beautifully preserved Knidos, a monumental marbled city arranged around a double harbour.

As well as these celebrated sites where excavations have been going on for decades, we visit ancient towns like Phoenix and Lydae, set in remote and beautiful locations, that remain completely untouched.

This cultural tour in Turkey is a perfect combination of magnificent sites, quiet coves, wondrous walks, breath-taking vistas and glorious swims.
