Transfer to your gulet in the harbour of Antalya. This whole region, bathing in sunshine for 300 days in a year, is Turkey's principal holiday resort. Dinner and overnight in Antalya.
After breakfast, cruising to Kemer, where you'll have lunch and time to swim. Stop in Ucadalar, with its few rare sea foxes. Further to Olympos, optional visit of the ancient city, hidden, overgrown and hardly touched. Swim near the beautiful beach. Dinner and overnight in the bay of Adrasan.
Sailing to Demre, optional visit of the ruins of Myra (Lycian rock tombs & ancient theatre) and the Saint Nicholas Church where the real Santa Claus was a bishop in the 4th century. Afterwards there is plenty of time for swimming and optional water sports in the quiet bay of Gokkaya. Dinner and overnight here.
Visit of Kekova, the famous Sunken City with its Lycian-Roman buildings half under water. Simena, a beautiful little island with a Byzantine-Ottoman castle on top. Local ladies sell brightly colored scarves here. Cruising to Ucagiz for dinner and overnight.
In the early morning sailing to Kas, one of the most picturesque fishing villages in Lycian Turkey.
