Turquoise Coast

The Turkish Riviera, known as the Turquoise Coast, is home to stunning mountain scenery, rich myths and folklore, and six hundred miles of pristine coastline along the warm Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Home to two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the ruins of the Mausoleum of Maussollos and the Temple of Artemis – this stretch of coast is a destination apart, so much so that Mark Antony is said to have chosen it as the most spectacular wedding gift for Cleopatra. Through the lens of Oliver Pilcher, this blue voyage invites readers with a passion for travel to set sail and enjoy the dazzling sapphire hues of a dream life on a sailboat. There are anecdotes from people who love the region such as Mica Ertegun, Tommy Hilfiger, Chiara Ferragni and Mert Alas, who spent summers sailing these historic waters.
