Overview

Sail the beautiful three-masted Admiral and bike along Turkey's Lycian coast, an idyllic stretch along southwestern Turkey, known for its beauty and historical significance. With crystal-clear turquoise waters, rugged cliffs, and lush greenery, the coast combines the charm of the Mediterranean with unique Turkish landscapes. Along the Lycian Coast are ancient ruins and archaeological sites, remnants of the Lycian civilization that once thrived in this region. These landmarks, such as the rock-cut tombs of Dalyan, are a haven for history lovers. On this guided tour, you'll cycle along coastal paths, mountain roads, and pine forest lanes. After a full day of activity, relax on the ship in secluded bays and enjoy the crew’s Turkish hospitality or visit one of the many cafes and bars in the local harbor towns. Either way, the savory Turkish cuisine will not disappoint! This bike and boat tour truly offers the perfect combination of adventure and leisure with elements of history, nature, and culture. The Admiral is a stunning Turkish gullet with three majestic masts and sails. It offers 15 roomy guest cabins equipped with AC and private bathrooms, all adorned with beautiful wood. Extend your trip with a 4-day Istanbul extension, available before or after tours starting or ending in Turkey. This package offers a blend of guided activities and free time, allowing you to experience the rich history and vibrant culture of Istanbul at your own pace. It includes three nights in a centrally located hotel, private transfers, a guided activity of your choice, entrance to top historical sites, and a detailed information booklet with recommendations for your stay. Minimum 2 persons.
