Gulet Cruise in Antalya with Flights Included
The Lycian Coast between sea, ancient history and relaxation
Gulet cruise in Antalya along the Lycian Coast
A gulet cruise in Antalya is one of the most captivating ways to discover Turkey from the sea, sailing along the legendary Lycian Coast, a stretch of shoreline where nature, archaeology and crystal-clear waters live in perfect harmony. A journey designed for those who long for a relaxing, authentic and well-organised holiday, far from mass tourism yet with all the comforts of a full-board cruise.
The itinerary unfolds among sheltered bays, islands, ancient sunken cities and important archaeological sites, departing from and returning to Antalya, the gateway par excellence to the Turkish Riviera. Thanks to the charter flight included from Milan or Rome, this cruise is the ideal solution for anyone seeking a complete experience with no logistical worries.
The allure of the Lycian Coast: a secret Turkey to discover by sea
Sailing along the Lycian Coast means stepping into a different dimension of the eastern Mediterranean. The mountains slope gently down to the sea, the waters take on turquoise and emerald hues, while ancient civilisations resurface among the rocks and beneath the surface of the water.
During the cruise you sail past iconic places such as Olympos, wrapped in lush vegetation, the unspoilt bays of Adrasan, and the area of Kekova, famous for its sunken city visible straight from the gulet. Each day is marked by short sailing legs, swim stops, moments of relaxation and optional cultural visits, always at the slow, restorative pace of life at sea.
The gulet: tradition, comfort and Turkish hospitality
The cruise takes place aboard a standard Turkish gulet with air conditioning, a typical wooden vessel designed for coastal sailing. The gulets used generally offer 6, 8 or 10 cabins, all with private facilities, a shower and air conditioning (running up to 4 hours a day, non-consecutive).
The communal areas include a spacious sun deck, shaded spots for al fresco meals and a welcoming interior saloon. The crew, made up of a captain and onboard staff, takes care of every detail: from sailing to cooking, right through to the daily care of guests. The language spoken on board is mainly Turkish, with at least one crew member who speaks intermediate-level English.
