Marmaris: Spirituelle Reise an der Südwestküste der Türkei

This journey is not an ordinary tour, but an experience for the heart, body, and soul. It is created for people who do not wish to rush from one attraction to the next, but who truly want to experience places deeply and consciously. Away from conventional tourism, we explore the southwest coast of Turkey in a mindful, personal, and spiritually inspired way.

You are invited to actively shape this journey together with the group. The rhythm and flow remain flexible, adapting naturally to the place, the season, and the dynamic of the participants. Wishes, inspirations, and individual needs are welcomed, allowing the retreat to unfold organically rather than feeling like a fixed program. At the same time, everything is thoughtfully arranged for you — accommodation, meals, and possible activities are all organized, so you can fully relax and immerse yourself in the experience.

Throughout the retreat, we may engage in a variety of activities, including:

Walks through untouched natural landscapes
Bicycle tours
Visits to small mosques and sacred places
Shared prayer and Dhikr
Quiet moments by the sea
Mindful and spiritual exchange within the group

Around the region of Marmaris, we will also visit powerful and inspiring places such as:

The warm healing springs of Sultaniye Hot Springs near the Dalyan River
The ancient ruins of Kaunos
The resting place of the mystic Fener Dede Tomb
The ancient city of Amos
Local mosques and places of contemplation

These experiences are accompanied by traditional Turkish meals prepared with care and hospitality.

Accommodation, meals, and all organizational aspects are fully taken care of, allowing you to focus entirely on your personal experience and inner process.

The retreat takes place exclusively in small groups in order to create a personal, authentic, and trusting atmosphere.

Before the journey begins, there is an opportunity for a personal conversation to answer 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 living, inner balance, and genuine spiritual experience.

The retreat is organized and guided by Ilyas Bublis, who has been walking a spiritual path for more than 40 years. His experience is rooted not only in theoretical study, but in lived practice, meaningful encounters, and extensive travels. With family roots in Turkey and deep knowledge of the region, he combines cultural understanding with spiritual depth. Time spent in places such as India, as well as his dedication to environmental protection, shape his authentic and grounded approach to guiding others.

What emerges is not simply a holiday in the conventional sense, but a shared journey of connection — with nature, with other people, and with yourself.

“Come, come, whoever you are.”
— Rumi
