Which Turkey cruise should I choose?

For a relaxed week of swimming and quiet bays aboard a traditional gulet with just 16 guests, choose Turkish Delight from Fethiye. To combine Ephesus with Greek islands such as Delos, Mykonos and Patmos aboard a motor sailer, choose Greek Islands & Turkey. Our team is happy to help you decide.

Can you tailor-make my Turkey holiday?

Yes. We can add extra nights in Fethiye or Athens, arrange different flights or combine your cruise with a stay elsewhere.
