Morning departures to Lycian tombs and sunken cities. Afternoons on a boat or a coastal trail. Market runs with Ece. Harbor dinners where the fisherman remembers you. Two weeks is just long enough to learn the shortcut to the harbor, the best swimming rock, and which bakery opens first.
Six people around one table changes the conversation. You skip the small talk. By night two, someone is sharing a story they haven't told in years.
Every excursion is led by a licensed, English-speaking guide with deep knowledge of Lycian history and archaeology. They don't just narrate. They contextualize.
Private transfers from as far as Antalya Airport, plus all ground transportation for two weeks. Coastal roads, mountain passes, ancient harbors. You never drive and gaze on the views from a luxury van.

Turkish language and cultural classes with Jordan and Ece. Cooking with Hatice, you'll learn how to make stuffed grape leaves. Market visits in town to watch the live haggling. You don't observe the culture. You live it!.
A private three-bedroom villa with two and a half baths, overlooking the Mediterranean. Pool, terraces, gardens, and a long table for shared dinners. Villa is cleaned daily, beds are made, and your laundry is washed and folded.
Homemade Turkish breakfasts every morning by Hatice. Picnic packed or casual street food lunches on excursion days. Group dinners at the villa most evenings, with select nights out at local restaurants.
Walk the harbor. Find a rooftop bar. Eat grilled fish at a restaurant Ece recommended. Or just relax at the villa: the terrace, the evening breeze and conversations that stretch well into the night.
