Itinerary:
Day
1
Transfer to Karaagac
After your flight, you meet your group leader and then transfer to Karaagac – a journey of approximately two hours – to your farmhouse accommodation for the next 2 nights. The Farmhouse accommodation is basic, but clean and comfortable, reflecting typical Turkish country living. It is on a certified Eco farm, growing a variety of fruits and vegetables within the grounds. There is an outdoor pool and walking trails around the area to enjoy.

Karaagac
Turkey’s south-west coastline has long been famous for its extensive stretches of beaches, dotted with timeless villages where local residents still tend their crops and animals. Nestled in the foothills of Mt Babadag, Karaagac is one such place, and is the perfect setting for families! Overlooking the beaches below, your accommodation is situated at 1000m and hidden away amid pine trees and limestone plateaus – great territory for inquisitive kids to explore.
There’s a free day here so you can get to know the area better. A wander through the countryside, along countless trails is a great way both to relax and to discover the local flora and fauna. You may also be able to try a craft activity, such as pottery and the area surrounding the farm is great for treasure hunts and other games. All activities are optional, allowing you to see and do as much or as little as you choose. (B)
Day

Boat Excursion To Kekova
Transferring by bus to Kas – a journey of about three hours – you arrive in this charming port in time for a boat excursion to Kekova Island, a few kilometres to the east of Kas. Off its northern shore, the fascinating remains of an ancient settlement - known locally as Batik Sehir (the Sunken City) - lie submerged in a few metres of turquoise water. It was destroyed centuries ago by earthquakes and today one can still see the ruined walls and stairs of houses, and the outline of its jetty.
In one of the coves the remains of a Byzantine apse and the ruins of an ancient village can be seen. As the boat cruises past, half-submerged ruins are visible along the edge, part on land, part underwater, which shows the upheaval wrought by the earthquakes. As this is a protected archaeological site, swimming and snorkelling are not permitted; however it remains very atmospheric and makes for an enjoyable day out for kids and adults alike.

4wd Safari
Today you have an exciting 4WD safari into the hills above Kas, in a vehicle specially designed to travel over the rough tracks and steep terrain. The route winds into the back-country through undiscovered villages - the kinds of places package tourists never even dream about, let alone reach. A stony track climbs high to emerge on the shoulder of Cukurbagh hill, giving fabulous views over the Greek Island of Kastellorizo and the entire Kas peninsula.
Heading up toward the yayla (highland plateau), you may well meet nomadic shepherds who leave their lowland villages to bring their goats and sheep up to graze. The views are stunning as you descend to a pretty mountain village for a lunch of traditional Turkish home-cooked food in a village house. After lunch you continue your mountain journey, finally descending to the scenic coastal road for the drive back to Kas. (BL)
Day
5/6
Sailing The Turquoise Coast
This morning you'll step aboard your gulet, for two days of idyllic relaxation. There’s no firm plan – much depends on the tides and local conditions. Your days are usually spent cruising between the little coves and islands that dot this beautiful part of south-west Turkey. Naturally there are plenty of opportunities to take a dip in the inviting waters of the Aegean. Parents can sit back, relax and watch the world go by while the kids can emulate their favourite sea-faring heroes.
This is an example of the route you may take on the gulet, although this may vary due to sailing conditions:
Leaving Kas you will first visit the unspoiled Ufakdere Bay where you’ll have lunch and no doubt take the opportunity to swim or snorkel in the beautiful blue waters. Yet more swimming is in order as you sail on to Yaglica Bay, before mooring in a picturesque bay near to Kekova for your first night sea-borne. Awakening to the seemingly infinite crystal clear waters, you can take an early morning dip near to the excitingly named Pirate Cave. The intended course then takes you on to Tersane (Shipyard) Bay, where you’ll go ashore for lunch to explore medieval castles, continuing to Inonu Bay for your second night on board the gulet. Please note: The route may vary depending on conditions and is at the captain’s discretion. For logistical reasons your 2 nights on the gulet may take place later during your trip.

Dalyan
This morning you’ll make the short journey across to the mainland, where you’ll disembark your gulet in Fethiye, saying farewell to your captain and crew. Waiting transport then drives you north west along the coast to Dalyan. Dalyan is a relatively small and lazy place to look around; its many bars line the river which runs alongside the city’s core. Named after the wooden traps placed across the river to ensnare fish, Dalyan was once an agricultural centre and today retains a lot of that Turkish charm.
Upon arrival there should be free time to relax and, if you want, take a river cruise in one of the brightly coloured boats which line the shores. It’s also fun to visit the mud baths near to the centre, or for those with a hunger for historic sites a visit to the old Lycian tombs that shadow the town may be in order.

Fly home
Today your tour ends, and after bidding farewell to new friends, you transfer to the airport for your flight home. (B)
Idyllic Rural base
Your base for the first couple of nights is a certified organic farm set in a village, just North of Fethitye. It specializes in oranges, lemons, olives and pomegranates. There is a swimming pool to relax in and from here there are various activities to enjoy - including walking and treasure hunts!
Vibrant Kas
Next you transfer to Kas - self-styled adventure holiday capital of the Med. Here you’ll take a glass-bottomed boat to discover the sunken city of Simena at Kekova and jeeps to explore the countryside and villages surrounding Kas.
Gulet Journey
You board your traditional, wooden-hulled gulet, relax and admire the passing scenery. Days are leisurely - you might sail in the morning and stop in an inlet for lunch. There’s also time to soak up the sun or swim in the crystal-clear Aegean waters.
Dalyan
A small and lazy village, Dalyan is a great place to spend your last day enjoying either a river cruise or a visit to the old Lycian tombs. For those brave enough, why not try a mud bath?
