MORE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
Fethiye Paragliding
Fethiye is a heaven on earth, and that’s not a coincidence. This charming seaside resort showcases a combination of staggeringly turquoise waters, long, a white-sanded shoreline, and emerald-green forests. If you are looking for an activity that will fill you with positive emotions, long lasting memories, and that will boost your adrenaline levels, the Fethiye Paragliding is one of the top options. Fethiye Babadag mountain is one of the most popular paragliding spots in the world. The mountain is 6550 feet high and has many takeoff points.
Ghost Town
The Ghost Town Kayakoy village stretches along the hillside not far from the ruins of Lycian city Karmylassos (or another Lycian settlement since according to some sources there is no proof that it was exactly Karmylassos) in 7 km from Fethiye. So what is Kayakoy Ghost Town history? In the XVIII century Greeks arrived here from Dodecanese Islands and founded a town here , it’s name was Levissi. In this quite a large town with about 3.500 homes the Greeks lived for centuries. In 1923 when the city had about 6,000 Greeks the “population exchange” was started between Greece and Turkey the Greeks were forced to leave the town. Kaykoy Ghost Town in Turkey was recognized as one of the World TOP 10 Ghost Towns according to National Geographic – a world leader in geography, cartography and exploration.
KEKOVA BOAT TRIP
Only accessible by water, Kekova is a large region on Turkey’s Mediterranean coastline that includes the island of the same name as well as the Kaleköy and Üçağız villages.

On the northern side of the island of Kekova, you’ll come across the underwater ruins of Dolchiste, an ancient Lycian settlement, which was partly overtaken by the sea due to an earthquake that occurred during the 2nd century.
土耳其印象by領隊MAGGIE土耳其
一直很喜歡土耳其，2014年第一次帶團到土耳其，之後因局勢問題停了下來。2018年，到土耳其的旅客數字持續攀升，不説不知，來自中國的遊客排隊在藍礁湖 (Blue Lagoon)上飛滑翔傘，滑翔傘公司老闆告訴我，十月黃金周每天起碼200名中國遊客飛滑翔傘! 各位是時候出發了。
數年前曾在土耳其打工換宿，2018亦在土耳其旅居三個月！我對土耳其這個國家感覺很多， 如果要我只說一個旅遊資源重點， 一定是奇石林! 當年第一次見面，感覺是，嘩!! 原來地球上有這麼一片外星人的家園，整個地區的景觀 ，完全是人類想像以外的事。
人生第一次被氣球連人帶籃送上天空， 在洪洪烈火下，看著太陽升起，遍地奇怪石頭丶洞穴又紅又黃又橙，極美! 那時我告訴自己， 人生應該要這樣。
奇石林就是一個令人癡癡呆呆不捨得走的地方，地面的看過了， 地下洞穴也走遍了 ，我走到去河谷底部 ， 不幸的是迷了路， 幸運的是認識了土耳其爬山專家及看了超美的風景。冬天的奇石林，更是另一翻意見，這也是我組織這個冬日團的原因。
那棉花堡呢? 到今天IG大頭照我仍然用棉堡自拍照！廿年前就是因為看到一幅宣傳海報印着這個像棉花糖般的地方 ， 發誓一生人至少要來土耳其一次。 別人說他今非昔比，我倒也希望無知的人因為這個謠言，停止來這裏旅遊， 好留給我一個獨霸全場的selfie機會。
還有不能不提的西南部愛琴海至地中海，完全是土耳其的另一個世界。2018年我就在土耳其旅居，南部佔了多於一個多月。費特希耶是我願意度過餘生的地方。費特希耶附近有許多隱藏的瑰寶值得探索 。Dalyan 達利安一日遊讓您體驗自然美景和豐富歷史，同時享受獨特的活動，例如泥浴。
在土耳其看過無數的日出日落，還是想再回去。
我們的旅行團屬精品旅行團，在行程設計，時間安排，當地導遊，用車，餐食各方便皆以小團隊，個人化體驗為原則，把我喜愛的土耳其完美地包裝展示與參團者。
