Our team understands that superyacht guests expect the very best, and this is why we only work alongside fully licensed TURSAB guides and knowledgeable professionals to ensure that our luxury excursions in Türkiye exceed expectations.
From tailor-made tours of incredible ancient sites and reservations at Michelin-starred restaurants to bespoke private trips to see Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys, let us know what the guests fancy doing, put our talented team to the test, and let them work their magic! Here are a few popular luxury guest experiences in Türkiye to consider.
Popular Superyacht Guest Tours in Türkiye
Guided luxury shopping tours, private viewings at contemporary art galleries, a round of golf at an award-winning course, or sampling local wines at an acclaimed coastal vineyard – the 360° Yachting can organise superyacht guest tours in Turkiye that are sure to impress all onboard. Here are a few of the most popular luxury excursions the guests might enjoy:
A Luxury Spa and Wellness Experience
For guests seeking the ultimate in relaxation, let us organise time at one of the Aegean coast’s incredible spa resorts or wellness facilities. We can arrange holistic therapies, traditional Turkish Hammams, therapeutic massages, facials, and a wide range of other treatments at facilities along much of the coast. Take a look at our blog for a rundown of the most indulgent spas around the Bodrum and Datca peninsula. Guest favourites include the beautiful D Maris Bay, Amanruya, Maxx Royal Bodrum, Six Senses Kaplankaya, and the award-winning spa at Mandarin Oriental. For the ultimate relaxing day ashore, why not cap off the experience with a healthy lunch, dinner, or drinks at one of the resort’s acclaimed restaurants or beach clubs? ASK US to reserve a table during the visit.
Wine Tasting in Türkiye
If the idea of spending a few indulgent hours wine tasting in Türkiye appeals, let us arrange a bespoke experience sampling the best Turkish wines at a boutique vineyard in Urla, Canakkale, Bozcaada, or Bodrum. Although France and Italy often steal the spotlight, Türkiye boasts many wineries that produce local and internationally renowned varieties, including Merlot, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The country has a rich wine history dating back more than 7,000 years. Some even say Noah’s Ark ran aground on Mount Ararat, and Noah himself planted the first grapes there, although this tale remains unproven. This said, Türkiye’s recent wine renaissance is certainly worth exploring, and a personally tailored trip to a vineyard is an excellent way to spend the afternoon and stock up on a few cases for enjoyment back on the yacht.
Private Dining or Reservations at Award-Winning Restaurants
We often mention Türkiye’s Michelin-starred restaurants and fine local haunts on our travel blog, so let us make the guests a reservation next time you are in town. Our team can arrange an intimate, candlelit dining experience or a group booking at all the best restaurants along the coast, including the acclaimed restaurants in Bodrum, Yalikavak, Istanbul, and Urla. We can also hire out venues for private gatherings or meetings or organise parties and celebrations at beach clubs and many incredible coastal retreats.
Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride over Cappadocia
For an utterly magical experience, take to the air in a hot air balloon to see the sunrise over Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys. Cappadocia’s breathtaking scenery, unique rock formations, cave dwellings and valleys offer an Instagram-worthy backdrop like no other. The entire region wakes each morning under a canopy of hot air balloons. Marvel at the otherworldly beauty of the valley from above and be mesmerised by the land’s colours and shapes that are more like a movie set than a natural occurrence. After the flight, savour the local cuisine, wine, and delicacies with a gourmet brunch or meal at one of the area’s vineyards or top-tier restaurants. We can even arrange for you to spend the night at a luxury cave hotel so you really get to appreciate the timeless appeal of this enchanting region of Turkiye.
Luxury Shopping Experience in Istanbul or Bodrum
If retail therapy is called for, we can arrange a private, guided shopping tour of Bodrum or Istanbul’s most exclusive boutiques and bazaars tailored to guest preferences. This could include VIP access to renowned Turkish designers, private showings at high-end jewellery boutiques, or a curated tour of the local bazaars to pick up some local treasures. The day can end with a meal or drinks reservation at an exclusive restaurant.
A Bespoke Tour of Ephesus (Day or Night)
For history lovers, visiting Ephesus‘s iconic ancient city is a must! This colossal site is remarkably well preserved. Ephesus is understandably a popular tourist destination, so it’s best to let us arrange a guided tour early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Alternatively, we can arrange a bespoke private tour during the twilight hours. Highlights include a stroll along the marble-paved streets, a visit to the Temple of Artemis, and time at the awe-inspiring Library of Celsus. Your knowledgeable local guide will talk you through the area’s rich history so you leave with an insight into the past of this once-thriving metropolis.
See the Whirling Dervishes in Konya or Istanbul
The Whirling Dervishes and their captivating Sema ceremony have mesmerised audiences for centuries. Originating in the 13th century by the renowned Islamic poet Rumi, this spiritual ritual is a spellbinding blend of meditation, music, and dance. Men clad in flowing white robes and tall felt hats perform the dance, which takes years to master. It involves the men continuously spinning in a trance-like state, which is believed to bring them closer to God. There are many tourist-oriented Whirling Dervish shows in Turkiye, but visiting Konya—where the Mevlevi order and dervishes were first established—offers the most authentic experience. We can arrange the trip via seaplane from the coast and pair the excursion with a tour of Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys and underground cities or even a luxurious stay in a cave hotel and a sunrise hot air balloon flight. Alternatively, we can arrange superyacht guest tours in Turkiye to see the Whirling Dervishes in Istanbul at one of the city’s authentic dervish lodges. CONTACT US for details.
A Round of Golf in Belek
Türkiye boasts many exceptional golf courses and resorts. However, if you are passionate about the game, few destinations compare to the facilities available in Belek, the country’s premier golfing haven. Esteemed designers and legends like Sir Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie have crafted some of the most breathtaking courses here, offering a perfect blend of challenge and beauty. Located near Antalya, Belek is home to several sea-view courses that are nothing short of spectacular. The Montgomerie Maxx Royal Golf Resort, celebrated as one of Europe’s finest by The Times, features a masterful mix of fairways, sandy ridges, and serene lakes, making it a must-play for any golf aficionado. Another standout is the Cornelia Golf Club, a renowned 27-hole course hosting frequent international tournaments. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or an enthusiastic amateur, these courses offer an unforgettable experience, so if you want to play a few rounds, don’t forget to ASK US to add a stop to the itinerary.
Tandem Paragliding in Oludeniz
Most superyachts that cruise in Turkiye add a visit to Oludeniz to the itinerary, as the sight of the paragliders pulling their aerial antics and gliding down to the beachfront is spectacular – especially at sunset. Next time you are in the area, instead of simply watching from the deck, why not suggest guests have a go at tandem paragliding themselves? The excursion takes just over an hour, starting with a 16-minute cable car trip up to the summit of Mount Babadag. After a short briefing, passengers are securely strapped into a harness and attached to a fully trained pilot before running a few steps down a paved slope to be airborne. The pilot can pull a few tricks to get the heart racing or drift sedately to the beach. Either way, it’s the ideal opportunity to capture that all-important photo of your feet dangling hundreds of meters above the yacht and famous blue lagoon.
