Lycian Coast by Traditional Gulet

Take a relaxed exploration of Turkey’s Lycian Coast on a traditional gulet sail boat. Originally fishing boats, these have evolved into sailing yachts with full amenities, and remain a popular way to explore the region. Gulets generally offer large decks for lounging or sunning and cabins with private bathrooms but no air-conditioning.
