Istanbul to the sea,
and back again.
Small-group Turkey tours by bus, and gulet cruises along the Lycian coast. Eight routes built from one idea: see the big sights with a guide, then spend a full week on a wooden gulet. Take one leg, or do the whole loop.

One line across Turkey. Join it where you like.
Every tour is a slice of the same journey: bus from Istanbul down the west coast, a gulet cruise along the Lycian coast, bus back up through Pamukkale and Cappadocia.

A full week at sea. Not three nights.
Most Turkey tours squeeze in a three-night gulet. Ours is a proper seven-day blue cruise: a traditional wooden gulet, 8 to 10 cabins, a crew that cooks, and a coast you can only reach by boat. Swim off the back deck in the morning, walk into Kas for dinner, sleep under more stars than you've seen.
- Blue Lagoon · Butterfly Valley · St. Nicholas Island
- Kas night out · Kekova sunken city · Simena Castle
- Optional: paragliding at Oludeniz, diving in Kas
Made for people who'd rather not do it alone.
Solo travellers, couples, friends — groups are small (max 16 on the bus), the guide is with you every day on land, and shared twin or triple rooms keep the price honest. You'll leave with the country seen properly and a few new friends.

Before you book
When do tours depart?
Bus legs leave Istanbul on Mondays and Fethiye on Saturdays; the gulet cruise starts in Fethiye on Saturdays at around 10:00. Each tour page lists the next departures.
How big is the group?
Up to 16 on the bus. The gulet carries 8–10 cabins.
Can I do only the gulet cruise, or only one bus leg?
Yes. Istanbul to Fethiye, Fethiye to Istanbul and the gulet cruise are each sold on their own, and every longer route is a combination of them.
I'm travelling solo — do I pay more?
No, if you are happy to share a twin or triple room / cabin. A private room or cabin is available for a supplement.
Are entrance fees included?
Entrance fees on the bus legs are included. On the gulet, entrance fees to islands, castles and churches are paid on board (roughly €100–240 depending on the route; the tour page shows the amount).
Are departures guaranteed?
Yes. Every departure date published on the site is guaranteed to run, whatever the group size. Once your deposit is paid, your date is fixed.
