If you’re choosing to sail a yacht along the Turquoise coast of Turkey which stretches from the west part of the country to the very South, it is either because you already know how gorgeous the coastline is, how captivating its crystal-clear waters are, how rich the virgin nature is and how many authentic little towns and vibrant cities its features, and of course how many historical sites and ancient remains you are welcome to visit. Another reason you’ve decided to charter a yacht and to follow this route is that someone has presented to you how unique this experience can be, filled also with delicious Ottoman cuisine and the very best of Turkish hospitality.
However, did you know that while chartering a luxury motor yacht or a traditional wooden gulet you are more than welcome to visit not only places located on the seashore, but to go a little bit inland? It would be fair to say that Turkey has something to impress with in terms of natural wonders wherever you go.
Just about an hour-ride off Fethiye or Kas, both super popular yacht charter destinations, there’s a National Park called Saklıkent. It won’t be any difficult to reach this amazing and truly unique place by having your crew order a car transfer.
If you feel you should not better step in the cold water which is about knee-deep, then you can relax here in the lounging zone. If you can perform the adventurous crossing, then make sure you don’t have anything valuable with you as things may or most probably will get wet. It’s better to hide your phone and camera inside a plastic bag.
Once you’ve crossed the tricky part of the river, you’re even deeper inside the canyon, and from now on it is up to you how far you decide to go.
Nevertheless, keep in mind the safety, and the exploration of the “hidden” wonder will be a wonderful experience.
