ClubSolos is taking to the beautiful waters along the Turkish coast. Join us on a small-gulet sailing experience of discovery along the glorious coastline between Fethiye and Kekova. This region is home to many small islands, extensive caves, an abundance of sea life and secluded coves backed by sheer cliffs and rugged hills, many of which can only be accessed by sea. This simple, traditional style of sailing is the perfect way to spend a week with your fellow Solos guests.
