Today, the local coastal traffic is almost exclusively pleasure craft, the big cargo ships keeping well out to sea. With the exception of the occasional fishing boat the hundreds of small Aegean boatyards devote their efforts to construction of pleasure craft; the Gulet. The ideal climate, inviting waters and vast numbers of pristine harbors, bays and beaches, combined with the special sights, charms and hospitality that is modern Turkey make the Turkish Aegean the most attractive cruising in the Mediterranean and have created a special name for this boating paradise, The Turquoise coast.

 

The Turquoise coast extends from Kusadasi in the north to Antalya in the south, a distance of approximately 350 nautical miles. With the intricate undulations of the coast that distance more than doubles, and across each gulf and around each headland lie a new hay, small village or ancient site.
