Tales of Arcadia: Music, Art, and Ritual on the Turkish Coast
From September 25 to 28, the Radisson Collection Hotel in Bodrum, Turkey, will host Tales of Arcadia, a festival that blends music, art, and ritual experiences in a breathtaking natural setting. Amid crystal-clear waters, pine forests, and a coastline that takes your breath away, the festival offers an immersive journey where creativity and community intertwine.
This year’s music lineup features artists such as Guy J, Super Flu, Santi & Tuğçe, Depart, Alko, Austin Ato, Aytek Dorken, Corn & Cotton, DIBIDABO, Mike Spirit, Nohan, Tuba Twooz, Veronika Fleyta, and the back-to-back set Yaaz b2b Zoe Dona. From Guy J’s progressive soundscapes to Super Flu’s experimental grooves, the program spans introspective moments and others designed for losing yourself on the dance floor.
Fedor Sarokvasha, the festival’s founder, emphasizes the intent behind the lineup: “We create an environment where people remain present, free from phone distractions, fully immersed in the music. That energy reflects back in the artists, making every set unforgettable. And all of this takes place in one of Turkey’s most underrated natural corners.”
Art also plays a central role at Tales of Arcadia. Attendees can explore an open-air art gallery and an underwater gallery, the latter accessible by snorkel, created in collaboration with artist and sculptor Onur Çanka and inspired by the myth of Kara Ada (Black Island). The open-air gallery features works by the local community, selected through the festival’s annual call, and is complemented by live performances that transform the space over the course of the event.
Another highlight is the Healing Resonance Portal, a space led by international healers offering sound healing concerts, meditations, Kundalini and Naad yoga sessions, shamanic and ethnic dances, and drum circles. These experiences aim to reconnect participants with themselves and the festival’s collective energy.
The performance program also includes circus arts and flow art by international artists such as Gustavo Ollitta, combining acrobatics, fire, and LED light choreography to create moments of intensity and visual beauty.
Guests have full access to the hotel’s facilities, including pools, restaurants, spa, sports courts, and the beach, integrating wellness, leisure, and music in a single location.
Tales of Arcadia invites you to experience a space where music, art, and nature converge, creating a unique environment for exploration and connection.
