About this trip

Sail with us to secluded Turkish sea coves and volcanic lakes to swim and dip in the sunshine, at sunset and under the stars.  Our gorgeous private boat is moored at our riverside guest house so we just step on board to sail away to countless beautiful un-spoilt locations. Flow and yin yoga takes place in the garden overlooking the river in the morning and evening and is suitable for everyone. All our activities are completely optional.


Our Turkish wild swimming adventure is a 6 day swimming and dipping extravaganza, shared with a small group of like minded people and perfect for solo travelers, friends or couples.  We take care of everything so you can just swim dip and chill. 

Accommodation

Stay in an  authentic , family run Turkish guest house in an incredible riverside location, set in lush gardens with views of ancient rock tombs.  Chill in the hammock by the river, spotting turtles and watching the kingfishers fly past whilst sipping organic pomegranate juice, fresh from the family gardens or a cold beer from the bar. We have 12 lovely rooms, all are ensuite and airconditioned, with twin, double and single occupancy rooms available. 

Food

Enjoy a full Turkish breakfast every day. Choose from eggs, cheese, homemade pastries, jams, local organic honey, homemade yoghurt, fresh locally grown fruit, tomatoes and  organic olives from the family gardens.

A huge array of delicious, freshly prepared homemade vegetarian mezze and barbequed fish., meat and chicken are provided on our boat trips. The family make their own organic pomegranate juice..... it's the best, try it!
