We curate a lineup that avoids commercial sounds, creating an atmosphere where people stay present, without distractions from phones, fully immersed on the dance floor. That energy flows back to the artists, making every set unforgettable. And all this happens in one of the most underrated natural gems: Turkey’s Muğla Province. With its crystal-clear waters, pine forests, and stunning coastline, it’s a true privilege to welcome guests in such an environment, explains Fedor Sarokvasha (founder of the Tales of Arcadia Festival).
As part of the art program, attendees can explore various installations, including unique open-air and underwater art galleries, both presented by the Hidden Elements art collective. The underwater gallery, accessible by snorkeling, is dedicated to the Myth of Kara Ada (Black Island) and includes works created in collaboration with artist and sculptor Onur Çanka.
The open-air art gallery is itself an art installation, showcasing selected works from the local fine art community, winners of the festival’s annual open call. It will also feature live art performances throughout the event. On the final day, a guest painter will transform the existing installation into an entirely new work, marking a dynamic close to the exhibition.

We’ve noticed how art content influences our guests. It’s like a first portal or touchpoint that makes them feel different and excited when they arrive at the festival. Art has the power to open your soul, and your inner child starts to speak. Each year we build an impressive artistic playground for that child, adds Fedor Sarokvasha.
One of the most unique and transformative experiences of the Tales of Arcadia journey is the Healing Resonance Portal, a space guided by a handpicked team of renowned healers from around the world. Designed to nourish both body and soul, this sanctuary offers practices such as live sound healing concerts in the form of lying-down meditations, Kundalini and Naad yoga sessions, ecstatic and shamanic dance journeys, ethnic song circles, and powerful drum circles. These grounding and uplifting experiences invite participants to reconnect with themselves and the collective, opening pathways to inner harmony and release.
The festival’s performance art program includes circus and flow art showcases, presented by an international team featuring Gustavo Ollitta, a world star of flow art. Through displays of fire performance, acrobatics, and LED light choreography, these artists bring intensity and beauty to the festival atmosphere.
