Tour
We organize leisure tours for both corporate clints and small groups and provide package tours for individual demands.
Turker Travel has been a purveyor of quality custom tours specializing in yachting and cultural/archeological explorations for over 30 years. Our local partnership with some of the world’s finest tour operators such as Geographic Expeditions, Wilderness Travel, Country Walkers and Boundless Journeys has been a source of pride in what we do.
Our director of tour operations, Enver Lucas, author of Lonely Planet’s “Trekking In Turkey”, is a pioneer and expert in designing/operating intimate small group travel in Turkey. With decades of his hands-on research and experience, we are able to offer perfectly suited itineraries for any time frame and taste - at value packed reasonable prices. When designing an itinerary, we first make sure our guests will be safe and comfortable, then seek natural and aesthetic beauty, knowledge, a sense of adventure, privacy, cultural interaction and activity. We care about our guests and our personal attention will always be present.
Turker's team of guides are among the best in the business. They are personable, knowledgeable, safety oriented, know their timing to avoid crowds as much as possible and are simply experts in their fields. From bustling Istanbul to fairytale Cappadocia, from the grandeur of Ephesus/Aphrodisias to quaint/aesthetic sites like Arycanda and Termessos, from the remotest wildflower-studded mountain trails to tranquil Aegean wilderness coves, our guides deliver.
On land based tours, whenever available, we prefer using smaller atmospheric hotels of quality which reflect the local heritage and environment. At sea, we like using our own special boat, Cavurali. If Cavurali is not available, our other selection of "Gulet" yachts are still first class with excellent records. For ground transportation new and comfortable, air-conditioned vans and coaches are utilized.
We feel one of the finest ways to experience the offerings of Turkey - or just to simply cherish a segment of life on vacation is to be on a boat trip along the Turquoise Coast. For this, we can proudly say you are at the right address since we honestly feel no one does it better.
Cavurali is our own 20-meter, single mast teakwood boat good for up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This is a unique boat with classic design, a style known as “Tirhandil”, historically preferred by mariners throughout Greece and the Levant for their seaworthiness. While this is not a luxury boat, Cavurali is first-class and very comfortable. Her beamy structure offers wide teak deck areas aft and fro, complete with sun mattresses and chaise-lounges covered with Sunbrella awnings. All four guest cabins, 2 with double beds and 2 with twin beds have in-suit bathrooms and air-conditioning. There is an indoor saloon for those rare inclement weather days and a full, well appointed galley/bar. The experienced and hospitable crew have their own separate quarters.
2 Ocean Kayak’s, a sail board, snorkeling gear and fishing tackle are some of the recreational features that come with the boat. Other specifications include Caterpillar Marine 280 HP low rev main engine, furling Genoa sail, main sail, full marine electronics, VHF radio, 2 generators, 3 refrigerators, freezers, ice maker, coffee maker, surround music system with Bluetooth capability, limited wi-fi internet, Zodiac tender with outboard engine, 3 tons fuel capacity, 6 tons of fresh water and holding tanks.

Food on board is gourmet local cuisine, always prepared from fresh ingredients. Meals are varied, well balanced, plenty and a highlight. We are always on the lookout for locally caught fresh seafood. Crew of 3 is very experienced, welcoming and personable, includes a captain, chef and first mate. Enver Lucas, tour operator and professional guide, most likely will also be present as your built-in expert host. He can lead optional coastal hikes and help you organize excursions.
Cavurali is based at Finike Setur Marina near Antalya. It is the perfect boat to sail and explore the Turquoise Coast between Kemer/Antalya and Gocek/Fethiye. On a weeklong charter, in addition to a dozen beautiful and tranquil wilderness coves, towns of charm like Kalekoy, Kas and Kalkan, you can also see historic sites like Phaselis, Olympos, Chimaera, Phaselis, Sazak, Cape Gelidonya, Kekova, Simena, Myra, Arycanda, Patara, and Xanthos. Our scope is not limited to the coast between Antalya and Fethiye/Gocek. Voyages to Marmaris, Bay of Doris, Bozburun, Datca and Bodrum zones can also be arranged given that there is sufficient time. We also go to the Greek Dodecanese Islands near Turkey, including Megisti, Ro, Rhodes, Simi, Nissiros, Tilos and Kos.
