SAILING TURKEY'S TURQUOISE COAST
The south west coast of Turkey is known as the “Turkish Turquoise Coast” because of the colour of the water. At sea it is actually a deep dark blue, in shallow areas around the coast the turquoise is revealed. Everywhere the sea is crystal clear and swimmable.
There are three main charter areas on the “Turquoise coast”. Bodrum in the north. Marmaris in the middle and Fethiye/Gocek in the south. It is windier in the north, and often windless in the south. Each offers something different, but equally all are ideal for comfortable family sailing.
