Dreaming of warm seas, hidden coves and lazy days on deck? With Go Turkey Sail, that dream turns real—comfortably run gulets, a friendly crew and great value sailing tours on the Turkish coast. Once your sail Turkey tour is locked in, the only question is what to bring. Packing can feel daunting, so here’s a simple, smarter list.Turkey’s summer is long and toasty; even the shoulder months (May and late October) can push past 30 °C. Pack light, think breathable, and keep it easy to mix-and-match.
Clothing Essentials
2 x swimwear (rotate one while the other dries).Breezy tees/shirts and shorts for quick cover-ups ashore.A lightweight dress/linen shirt for casual evenings.Multi-purpose sarong or thin scarf
