Turkey burns through empires the way movie stars do spouses; the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans have all laid claim to this vital link between East and West, and while there’s no doubting its strategic importance, we’re pretty sure the balmy climate and stunning scenery had something to do with it. Aboard our traditional teak gulet, we cruise the dazzling Aegean and its historic coastline in style. The scope of our eight-day reign here is wide and varied: incredible hikes on coastal paths to ancient tombs, on-board cooking tutorials, an underwater museum tour with a nautical archaeologist and all the sun-worship you can muster. Armchair emperors, inquire within.
