Written for independent travellers, this definitive travel guide to the Turkish Riviera is the only guidebook dedicated to a region whose under-the-radar treasures are largely unknown outside Türkiye. Known as the 'Turquoise Coast' for the clear blue waters lapping at its seemingly endless beaches, the Turkish Riviera holds little-known yet unmissable attractions in the dramatic hills just beyond the tourist hotspots. Here are two wonders of the ancient world, many ruined or unexcavated historic cities, gorgeous bohemian villages, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and national parks harbouring golden jackal, Eurasian lynx, striped hyena and loggerhead turtles. From Izmir and Cesme through the provinces of Aydin, Mugla and Antalya, the Turkish Riviera holds huge historical significance, world-leading marine wildlife, unique culture, incredible food, and jaw-dropping forested and mountainous scenery. Here you can: . ski in the morning then swim off world-class beaches in the afternoon, . stay in the tree houses of Olympos, . rope-swing into the freezing mountain waters of Yuvarlakçay, . hike the Saklikent Gorge, and . indulge in fine wines along Urla's chic vineyard trail. Although popular for beach tourism, the Riviera's off-the-beaten-path treasures remain largely unknown outside Türkiye.
