Take a land of rugged mountains and sun-drenched beaches, add an array of classical ruins, toss in a generous helping of epicurean delights and flavour it with a dash of the exotic and a pinch of the modern. What do we have? We have Turkey - a delightfully diverse country whose legacy of age-old cultures has shaped it into one of the most fascinating places in the world. We explore seemingly untouched pristine countryside and stumble across hidden ruins where an ancient civilisation once flourished and then vanished. From aboard our boat we swim, snorkel, snooze and sail around the secluded waters off the spectacular coastline, punctuated with rocky peninsulas and turquoise bays, sprinkled with tiny settlements seemingly forgotten by the 21st century. This adventure has it all. Hosgeldiniz! Welcome to Turkey!
