The Carian coast (Caria) borders to Ionia in the north and to the Lycian coast in the east. With mountainous and green stretches of coastline - ranging from Gümüslük - Bodrum to Marmaris - the Carian coast has recently become the most popular yacht charter and gulet cruise area in Turkey. These sailors are attracted by the gentle sailing conditions, the beautiful bays, sandy beaches, the famous rock tombs and other historical records of the rich and ancient culture of the region.
