We work a lazy day into most of our tour itineraries. On the Turkey tour, our "vacation from our vacation" is a day spent lazily sailing the Turkish Riviera. Midway through our busy itinerary, we dedicate a day to just lounging on a beautiful wooden boat called a gulet — swimming, sunning, eating, drinking, and playing backgammon with dramatic views of the coastline.
