The Turquoise Coast, aka The Turkish Riviera, is home to more than 600 miles of impeccable shoreline along the Aegean and Mediterranean seas.

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.”
