This trip is not an ordinary tour, but an experience for the heart, body, and soul. It is aimed at people who do not want to rush from one landmark to the next, but who really want to experience places. Away from traditional tourism, we discover the south west coast of Turkey in a mindful, personal and spiritual way.

You can actively help shape this trip. The itinerary and pace are flexibly adapted to the location, season, and group dynamics. Wishes, impulses, and needs can be brought in so that the trip develops in a lively way and doesn't feel like a pre-packaged programme. At the same time, all needs are taken care of: accommodation, meals, and things to do are organised, so you don't have to worry about anything and can fully immerse yourself in the experience.

On our trip, we have a wide range of things to do. The following are possible:

• Hikes through pristine landscapes
• Tours by bike
• Visits to small mosques and sacred sites
• Group prayer and dhikr
• Times of silence by the sea
• Mindful and spiritual exchange

In the area around the city of Marmaris, we will also discover many powerful places. These include:

• The warm healing springs of Sultaniye near the Dalyan River
• The ancient ruins of Kaunos
• The burial site of the mystic Fener Dede
• The ancient city of Amos
• Mosques

This is accompanied by traditional Turkish meals.

Accommodation, meals, and organisation are fully prepared so that you can focus entirely on your own experience and inner process.
The retreat takes place exclusively in small groups to allow for a personal, authentic, and trusting atmosphere.

Before the trip begins, there is the opportunity for a personal conversation to clarify questions and establish a conscious connection in advance.

This retreat is open to people of all cultures, backgrounds, and faiths who long for a more conscious way of life, inner balance, and a genuine spiritual experience.

The trip is organised and guided by Ilyas Bublis, who has been on a spiritual path for over 40 years. His experience comes not only from theoretical study, but also from intense encounters, travel, and lived practice. He knows the region very well, has family roots in Turkey, and combines cultural knowledge with spiritual depth. Stays in India, among other places, as well as his commitment to environmental protection shape his authentic and well-founded way of guiding the trip.

This creates not only a holiday in the classic sense, but a shared time that connects – with nature, with other people and with yourself.

“Come, come, whoever you are.”
