Ready for another extraordinary adventure with 1st Look guest host Sibley Scoles? Join her for a 600-mile journey across Türkiye's breathtaking Turquoise Coast!

After exploring beautiful Istanbul, Sibley kicks off her return to Turkish in Bodrum, a stunning peninsula where luxury and Türkagean tranquility interlace seamlessly. She then boards a luxury gulet ship for a mini blue voyage to Karaada Island. She is guided by local friends Süleyman Uysal and Miray Öncü and experiences the island's soothing thermal springs (which used to be frequented by none other than Cleopatra!) and its noteworthy Meteor Hole. However, Sibley's journey doesn't stop just there! She then dines at their Michelin-starred restaurant with owner Sahir Erozan and she learns some local history over savory Turkish cuisine.

Perched upon her scooter, Sibley sets off on the road ahead for an unforgettable journey through the ancients. Sibley makes her way to Urla to meet Duygu Özerson Elakdar, an olive oil expert, and Hiç, co-owner, to explore her Olive Forest and olive mill. They end the day at Hiç Lokanta, indulging in the “fruits” of their labor. Come evening, Sibley will be seeing the classical city and UNESCO World Heritage site, Ephesus. With her guide, Koray Süren, they will explore the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the famous Celsus library. Koray also takes Sibley to the Ephesus Experience Museum to learn more about what the historic city was like 3000 years ago.

For some rest and relaxation, Sibley visits Ölüdeniz Beach. In addition to its enchanting turquoise waters, Ölüdeniz Beach is a Blue Flag beach. This prestigious eco-label is awarded to beaches and marinas for their high standards of cleanliness and safety, and Türkiye ranks third in the world for their number of Blue Flag beaches. To gain a deeper appreciation of its shores, Sibley goes paragliding over this beautiful blue lagoon. But the fun isn’t over yet! Sibley takes a break from her fun-packed road trip in the exquisite seaside town of Kaş. She carefully meanders through its old picturesque streets, before opting for a peaceful sunset snorkel to top off her day.

Sibley’s fantastic journey continues at Antalya: the gateway to the Turkish Riviera. Here, the concepts of recreation and the ancients commune in a perfect harmony. Sibley begins the day at her hotel, The Rixos Sungate, with her hitting the gym. After this, she cools up with a stand-up paddle around the resort’s stunning cove. Come afternoon, she checks out the Aspendos Theater which is considered the best preserved classical theater of antiquity. Sibley ends her busy day at Carya Golf Club to play a round on Europe's first fully lit 18-hole golf course.
