Set sail on a traditional Turkish gulet, explore the stunning Turquoise Coast, and enjoy the ultimate relaxing holiday. Soak up endless sunshine, visit ancient ruins, read a good book, swim and snorkel in crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, and indulge in delicious homemade Turkish cuisine accompanied by unforgettable sunsets.
Samanlik Bay, Red Island, Boncuklu / Tarzan Bay
Meet at our office (located directly across from Fethiye Harbour) at 14:00 for check-in. Boarding starts at 14:30, followed by a welcome briefing and safety instructions from your crew.
We depart Fethiye Harbour around 15:00, cruising to Samanlik Bay for the first refreshing swim of the trip. This picturesque bay, surrounded by pine-covered hills, is popular among locals for its calm waters.
In the late afternoon, we sail to Red Island (Kızılada) to enjoy tea time and the very first magical sunset of your journey. Relax with a drink as the Mediterranean turns shades of gold and orange.
Dinner is served fresh from the barbecue — a perfect introduction to the delicious meals prepared on board.
Overnight at Boncuklu Bay or Tarzan Bay.
Butterfly Valley, Oludeniz, St. Nicholas Island
After a hearty Turkish breakfast, we head to the famous Butterfly Valley (weather permitting). Home to more than 130 butterfly species, including the Jersey Tiger, this protected valley is surrounded by towering cliffs and includes a small waterfall at the top. Guests may swim, relax on the beach, or take an optional hike into the valley (there is an entrance fee). Sturdy shoes are recommended.
Next, we cruise about 1 hour to the world-famous Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon) — one of Turkey’s most iconic beaches. Adventurous guests may try paragliding from Babadag Mountain, offering unmatched views of the lagoon. Lunch is served here.
In the late afternoon, we anchor at St. Nicholas Island, dotted with 1,400-year-old Byzantine church ruins. Guests may hike to the summit (15–20 minutes) for one of the most breathtaking sunsets on the Lycian Coast (there is an entrance fee).
Dinner and overnight at St. Nicholas Island.
Kas, Sunken City of Kekova, Simena, Gokkaya Bay
We make an early morning departure — simply sleep in and let the sea rock you gently while cruising past iconic beaches, including Patara Beach (the longest sandy beach in Turkey, 20 km). Breakfast is served at Mouse Island or Gerenlik Beach (depending on availability), followed by a refreshing swim stop at Hidayet Bay (Shark Bay).
We then continue to the charming coastal town of Kas (Andifli), known for its ancient Lycian rock tombs, Roman theatre, boutique shops, cafés, and bohemian atmosphere.
After Kas, we stop for a swim at Ufakdere or Inönü Bay (1 hour), then continue towards the famous Sunken City of Kekova, a Lycian-Roman archaeological site partially submerged after a 2nd-century earthquake (viewing only — swimming prohibited).
Next, we visit Simena Village, accessible only by boat. Climb the hill to the Byzantine-Ottoman castle for panoramic views or wander among ancient Lycian sarcophagi. Friendly locals sell homemade ice cream and jewelry along the path.
Dinner and overnight at Gokkaya Bay, where optional water sports are available.
In the evening, guests seeking nightlife may join the legendary Smuggler’s Inn Pirate Party, accessible by free water taxi.
Pirates Cave, Çamlı Bay, Turtle Beach, Demre (Andriake)
Before breakfast, we have a look at the mysterious Pirates Cave, known for its natural rock formations and hidden chambers.
Breakfast and a morning swim follow at peaceful Çamlı Bay, a serene cove surrounded by pine forests.
We then cruise to Turtle Beach, where Caretta Caretta sea turtles are often seen feeding and swimming. With a bit of luck, you may spot them gliding through the turquoise water.
After lunch on board, we sail to Demre (Andriake Harbour), arriving around 13:00, marking the end of your wonderful journey along the Turquoise Coast.
This unforgettable adventure blends crystal-clear waters, breathtaking landscapes, ancient Lycian heritage, and vibrant coastal life — the perfect way to explore Turkey’s Turquoise Coast in comfort and style.
