The Turquoise Coast, aka The Turkish Riviera, is home to more than 600 miles of impeccable shoreline along the 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 unlike anthing else in the world, so much so that Mark Antony was said to have chosen it as the most spectacular wedding gift for Cleopatra.

In the words of Italian global fashion influencer Chiara Ferragni, “the Aegean Coast is one of my favorite summer destinations. I love how quiet and relaxing it feels to stay and to be surrounded by a unique palette of colors: the blue of the seas, the white buildings, and the orange of the sky during sunset.”
