FETHIYE TO DEMRE SAILING CRUISE (6 Nights 7 Days)

Fethiye, Samanlik Bay, Red Island, Boncuklu or Tarzan Bay

Your adventure kicks off at 14:00 at the V-Go Yachting Office, located right across from the yacht marina—easy to find and even easier to fall into holiday mode. Check in, meet your crew, drop your bags, and shake off the everyday hustle. At 14.30-15.30, we set sail from Fethiye Harbour and glide into the turquoise coastline that travellers rave about. Our first swim stop is Samanlik Bay or Red Island, where the water is so clear you’ll reckon someone cleaned it with glass cleaner.

By late afternoon, we cruise toward Boncuklu Bay or Tarzan Bay for your first proper sunset at sea. The sky turns gold and peach, the deck settles into a quiet buzz, and you’ll be thinking, “Righto… this is the life.”

Dinner is served under a blanket of stars, followed by a peaceful night in a sheltered bay.

Meals: 5 O’clock Tea, Dinner

Overnight: Boncuklu or Tarzan Bay

Butterfly Valley, Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon, St. Nicholas Island

Wake to the sound of the sea and breakfast on deck. We cruise to Butterfly Valley, tucked between dramatic cliffs. You can swim, wander the canyon trail, or just chill on the beach with your mates.

Next stop: the world-famous Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon. Go for a swim or, if you’re keen for a bit of adrenaline, take the optional paragliding jump from Babadag Mountain. You’ll soar nearly 2,000 metres above the coast—absolutely stunning and absolutely unforgettable.

By afternoon, we anchor at St. Nicholas Island, scattered with old Byzantine ruins. A walk to the top rewards you with a sunset that’s downright postcard material.

Dinner onboard, then a relaxed evening swapping stories and watching the stars roll out.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, 5 O’clock Tea, Dinner

Overnight: St. Nicholas Island

Patara Coastline, Mouse Island / Gerenlik, Kas, Limanagzi Bay

We depart early—no need to get up if you’re still snoozing; the gentle motion of the gulet will rock you like a champ. As we pass Patara Beach, you’ll see why it’s one of Turkiye’s most iconic coastlines.

Breakfast is served at Mouse Island or Gerenlik Beach, perfect for a morning dip.

By late morning, we cruise into Kas, a charming harbour town with cobbled lanes, boutique shops, and fantastic coffee. It’s also the scuba-diving capital of Turkiye, offering options for beginners and certified divers alike.

In the afternoon, we cross the bay to Limanagzi, where calm blue water sets the mood for a laid-back evening.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, 5 O’clock Tea, Dinner

Inonu Bay, Aperlai, Aquarium Bay,  Gokkaya Bay & Smugglers Inn

Kick the morning off with a swim at Inonu Bay, one of Kekova’s underrated beauties.

We continue to Aperlai, an ancient Lycian city now partly underwater. Lunch is served onboard, and afterwards you can snorkel above the ruins—it feels like drifting through a submerged open-air museum.

Next stop: Aquarium Bay, known for its clear, glassy water, ideal for an afternoon tea break and a refreshing swim.

In the evening, we drop anchor in Gokkaya Bay, the area’s lively little hub. After dinner, hop in the dinghy and head to Smugglers Inn, a floating bar that’s a bit legendary among sailors. Great music, great vibe—good fun all around.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner

Overnight: Gokkaya Bay

Gokkaya, Burc Bay, Hamidiye Bay

Enjoy a relaxed brekkie (breakfast) in Gokkaya Bay before we cruise to Burc Bay, a quiet cove perfect for swimming or sprawling out on deck with a book.

After lunch, we continue to Hamidiye Bay, a calm, beautiful inlet with warm afternoon light reflecting off the cliffs. It’s peaceful, scenic, and exactly the kind of place where you rediscover the meaning of “taking it slow.” Dinner is served onboard as the stars take over the sky.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner

Overnight: Hamidiye Bay

Ucagiz Village, Simena Castle, Sunken City, Karaloz or Danamusa Bay

After breakfast, we sail to Ucagiz Village, a laid-back harbour town surrounded by ancient ruins. You’ll have time for a wander or you can join the optional sea-kayaking tour through Kekova’s tranquil bays.

We regroup at Simena Castle, where the short hike to the top rewards you with the most iconic view in the region. And yes, the local homemade ice cream on the way up is genuinely worth the hype.

Next, we cruise along the Sunken City of Kekova, a protected archaeological site where ancient walls and steps rest just below the surface—visible from the deck.

A final swim stop follows at Katir Pier before settling into our last overnight anchorage—Karaloz Bay or Danamusa Bay, depending on sea conditions.

Tonight the crew prepares a special farewell BBQ dinner. Good food, great company, and a sky full of stars… it’s the perfect wrap-up.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner

Overnight: Karaloz Bay or Danamusa Bay

Pirate Cave, Buzaglik / Camlik Bay, Turtle Beach, Demre Harbour

On your final morning onboard, we visit the mysterious Pirate Cave before heading to Buzaglik Bay or Camlik Bay for your last swim and lunch.

By the afternoon, we reach Turtle Beach, home to the endangered Caretta Caretta turtles—keep your eyes peeled!

We arrive at Demre Harbour at 16:00, where your journey with us comes to a close.
