The Taurus (Toros) Mountains form a dramatic backdrop along much of the coast often dropping steeply right into the Sea, these mountains offer a little-visited wilderness making for some wonderful trekking.
One of the most relaxing and dramatic ways to experience this coastline is a sailing holiday to Turkey on board a Gulet, a traditional wooden yacht, where you can anchor in secluded bays surrounded by the smell of thyme and pine. Historical sites on this coastline include the amazingly-preserved Roman theatre of Aspendos, the underwater rooms at Kekova and the impressive cliff side Lycian tombs of ancient Kaunos at Dalyan.
