Wash it all down with a glass of rakı. D-Marin Turgutreis Yacht Club offers all these unique tastes and more.

Roam the remains of the ancient city of Ephesus, built in the 10th century B.C. and famed for its striking Temple of Artemis. Gape at the monumental theatre capable of holding 25,000 spectators and the Library of Celsus, once the third largest in the world.

Gorgeous Kos is steeped in history dating back to Homeric times (a contingent from Kos participated in the siege of Troy) and the ancient gymnasium and odeon are still marvelously well-kept.
