A week gulet cruising the Aegean Coast in search of action, adventure and adrenalin with activities including diving, canyoning, kayaking, biking and paragliding

A gulet activity cruise around Kalkan and Ucagiz offers the perfect location to combine relaxed cruising in and around sheltered coves and bays, with action packed adventure. Leaving the traditional Turkish Gulet behind, you can expore the hills behind Kalkan by mountain bike, try canyoning in mountain gorges, and take sea kayaks out from the boat to explore the coast a little closer. Add to this the wealth of diving in the area, the option to try a tandem paraglide above Kas, or just a lazy day sunning yourself between swims from the boat, and you have an exciting trip of remarkable contrasts.The Shortlist - Read the report about Turkey's great activities (09 October 2008).
