Antalya Kaş

Turkey is a treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches from which the yachtsman can choose a different and always private anchorage each night. The sailing paradise of Turkey, is home of the “blue voyage”. On this idyllic cruise  sail in coves and on the open seas and become one with the Nature. It is also an experience of the history of man from the perspective of the sea rather than from the land, a journey that carries you to the myriad archaeological remains of ancient civilisations. For those who like to be active of active, sailing in clean waters provides great opportunities for swimming, skiing, surfing and diving.
Sailing in Turkey also allows you to experience a truly enriching cultural exchange with the hospitable and gracious people of the coastal villages and towns. The temperate winds, which generally blow, from the West and Northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From these parts of the turquoise coast’s unspoilt and sheltered bays, you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 m.
