Mediterranean & Aegean coast
Turquoise Coast Tours
Private Antalya, Bodrum and Fethiye days on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast — Kaleiçi harbours, Perge and Aspendos, Ölüdeniz lagoon, Bodrum castle and gulet sails — without all-inclusive hotel clones or thin Kekova product pages.
All tours are operated by Turkey Travel Agency, a TURSAB-licensed turkey tour operator and incoming DMC since 2014.
What the Turquoise Coast actually is
Travel writers use “Turquoise Coast” for the Mediterranean and south Aegean strip where pine meets bright water — roughly Antalya through Kaş and Fethiye into Bodrum’s peninsula. It is not one city and not one hotel product. We sell private guided days in three hubs: /antalya-tours, /bodrum-tours and /fethiye-tours. Multi-night coast packages sit on /packages/antalya-bodrum-coast and gulet/blue-cruise URLs. All-inclusive resort weeks without a licensed guide are a different product we do not clone under this hub.
Antalya — harbour, ruins and resort strips
Kaleiçi old town and Hadrian’s Gate: /travel-guide/antalya-kaleici. Roman Perge and Aspendos on one road day: /tours/antalya/perge-aspendos with place guides /travel-guide/perge-ancient-city and /travel-guide/aspendos. Coastal boat and waterfall pacing: /tours/antalya/coastal-tour. Pamukkale is a long private day from here: /tours/antalya/pamukkale-from-antalya. Lara and Belek are hotel bases, not separate tour URLs — we pick up and return to your resort.
Bodrum — castle morning, gulet afternoon
Castle of St Peter and the underwater museum: /travel-guide/bodrum-castle and /tours/bodrum/castle-marina. Swimming coves on a wooden gulet: /tours/bodrum/gulet-cruise. Multi-day gulet packages: /packages/bodrum-gulet-cruise-package. Yalıkavak and Gumbet pickups are standard. Antalya vs Bodrum decision notes: /blog/antalya-vs-bodrum.
Fethiye — lagoon, ghost village, Lycian energy
Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon: /travel-guide/oludeniz-blue-lagoon and /tours/fethiye/oludeniz-blue-lagoon. Kayaköy abandoned village with 12 Islands boat: /travel-guide/kayakoy-ghost-village and /tours/fethiye/kayakoy-islands. Babadağ paragliding is weather-dependent and quoted separately — we do not invent a thin paragliding-only URL. Kekova stays inside /packages/7-night-blue-cruise and /packages/4-night-blue-cruise.
How to build a coast week
Six days Antalya then Bodrum with transfer and gulet: /packages/antalya-bodrum-coast from $2,190 per person for two sharing. Add Fethiye only if you give the lagoon its own nights — do not force Perge, Aspendos, Ölüdeniz and a gulet into three exhausted days. History-first travellers still open /turkey-archaeological-tours for the ruin map. Cost framing: /travel-guide/private-turkey-tour-cost.
Season, heat and families
Swimming is most comfortable May–October. July–August need early ruin starts and afternoon pool buffers. Shoulder months suit Perge walking and gulet sails without peak marina crowds. Families get shorter castle blocks and calm swim bays on the quote. We are TURSAB-licensed (#14817) with 24-hour quote response.
What this hub deliberately excludes
We do not invent all-inclusive hotel landing pages, Kekova-only thin products, or a second Pamukkale URL for beach guests. Eastern Turkey — Mardin stone, Lake Van, Mount Nemrut — is a different map: /mardin-tours, /van-tours, /blog/mount-nemrut-guide. If your search was “turquoise” as lake colour on Van, that is /van-tours, not this Mediterranean hub.
Ruin days vs swim days — how we pace
Perge and Aspendos want morning shade and walking shoes. Gulet and Ölüdeniz want sunscreen and a swim bag. Mixing both on the same afternoon burns guests out. A private week assigns ruin mornings and swim afternoons, or separates them by base city. Archaeology-first travellers still open /turkey-archaeological-tours; beach-first travellers stay on the hubs linked above.
Sample private coast itineraries
Five nights Antalya: Kaleiçi, Perge–Aspendos, coastal day, optional Pamukkale road day, resort buffer. Six nights Antalya–Bodrum: /packages/antalya-bodrum-coast with gulet. Seven nights blue cruise: /packages/7-night-blue-cruise with Kekova inside the cabin week — not a day-trip URL. Custom open-jaw AYT–BJV or BJV–DLM quotes at /contact.
