What to expect

This relaxing yacht cruise gives you a fresh perspective on the coast around Side. The friendly, professional crew will make your trip a special occasion, with time to swim, guaranteed loungers and plenty to eat and drink. Mustafa, one of our local guides, says, ‘As soon as you set eyes on the Seher yachts, you can see that this is no ordinary boat trip. Seher is a family-owned company with five generations of experience. Its attention to detail adds a touch of finesse to your tour.'

As you approach the dock to meet your crew, you'll pass through a section of the ancient city of Side, which dates from the 7th century BC. Right on the shores of the Mediterranean, its location is one of the prettiest among Turkey's archaeological sites. Your guide will point out some of the key features. Settle in to watch the coastline unfurl as you sail out of Side harbour – with the breeze in your hair, sparkling sea and local drinks included, it's easy to unwind.

We'll then take the fun up a notch as the captain drops anchor from time to time, so you can swim in the enticing Med. Are you the thrillseeker who will cannonball straight in, or are you the sunseeker who prefers to lounge on deck? When it's time to refuel, we'll stop in sheltered waters and a tasty lunch of freshly prepared dishes will be served on board. After lunch, there'll be more relaxing, sunbathing and swimming to look forward to, before we head back to port in the late afternoon.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Women of Antalya, Past to Present

Nearly two millennia ago, Plancia Magna blazed a trail by making an impressive impact on the city of Perge despite the usual passive role of women at that time. She was born into a wealthy, powerful family, but instead of an easy life, she used her privilege to benefit her city. Her courage, independence and character was celebrated long after her time, and inspired women through the ages to seek influential roles in society. Your National Geographic-trained guide will reveal the ancient city of Perge with a focus on the life and legacy of Plancia Magna, an inspirational figure even today. Perhaps Plancia was a source of inspiration for Hatice Adıgüzel, whose workshop you will visit next. Discover the skills and artistry involved in creating lamps and garden ornaments from gourds, and learn from Hatice herself what sets her business apart - her leadership in a male-dominated workforce, her commitment to empowering local women and her choice of sustainable materials. During a hands-on workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own decorative gourd and learn more about Hatice's work with the local women's community. She pays her success forward by employing women to grow and decorate the gourds from their own homes for the business. They also make the snacks you'll enjoy during the workshop. Hatice's aim is to help women who are unable to work in regular employment due to childcare commitments or similar restrictions by giving them a convenient way to earn.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Exploring Antalya's Nomadic Culture

The foothills of the Taurus mountains have been a region of travel and trade for millennia. On this National Geographic tour, you'll embrace the region's ancient traditions that are still thriving today and immerse yourself in the nomadic lifestyle by visiting a Yörük family. Head over to the Seljuk bridge at Aspendos with your guide who will reveal alluring facts about the site. Built around the 4th century on the banks of Köprüçay, this architectural marvel is renowned for its distinctive zigzag design, a testament to its intriguing history. Continue your voyage and head over to an ancient caravanserai, where much of the original layout remains remarkably intact. Step back in time as you wander through the inn's chambers, guardian's quarters, bathhouse, and prayer hall alongside your guide. This is a place that radiates history, where countless travelers sought refuge and replenishment. The Yörük people have perfected their nomadic lifestyle for centuries. Every spring, communities migrate with their herds from the gentle coastal plains to the mountainous summer pastures. Spend time with a Yörük family and learn about their sustainable ways of life. Tuck into a tasty meal with eye-catching views of the Taurus mountains. Nearby, you'll find a spot to purchase locally-made goods like soaps, teas, oils, and more. Proceeds support communities affected by recent earthquakes or forest fires. Finally, Explore Ormana, an Ottoman village famous for its ingeniously crafted 'button houses'.
