The Turkish Riviera, known as the Turquoise Coast, is home to stunning mountain scenery, rich myths, and folklore, and more than six hundred miles of impeccable shoreline along the warm Aegean and Mediterranean seas. Featuring 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 was said to have chosen it as the most spectacular wedding gift for Cleopatra. Through the lens of Oliver Pilcher, this blue voyage beckons readers with wanderlust to set sail and enjoy the dazzling sapphire shades of the coast’s dreamy yacht life. Anecdotes from lovers of the region include Mica Ertegun, Tommy Hilfiger, Chiara Ferragni, and Mert Alas, who spent summers boating on these storied waters.

Charlotte Y. ★★★★★

I picked this up before a trip and ended up reading the folklore sections twice—the myths behind the landscape made the whole coastline feel richer. Six hundred miles is a lot of shore to cover, and the book actually does it justice without feeling like a checklist.

Daniel ★★★★★

The sections on local myths and folklore were my favorite part—I didn't expect a travel book to dig into the legends behind the scenery. Reading it before my trip made the whole stretch of Aegean shoreline feel less like a checklist and more like a place I already knew.

Ella V. ★★★★☆

The folklore and myth sections turned out to be my favorite part, way more engaging than the usual dry guidebook history. My only gripe is that the maps are a bit small to read on a phone screen.
