Day 1

After checking in at our Fethiye Harbour office at 09:30 a.m., you and your fellow travelers will be warmly welcomed by our guide and given a brief orientation to prepare for the exciting journey ahead. At 10:30 a.m., we will board our traditional Turkish gulet yacht and set sail along the magnificent Turkish Riviera.

Our first destination is the enchanting Butterfly Valley, a natural paradise that offers something for everyone. Guests can take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea or enjoy a peaceful hike to a nearby waterfall, surrounded by lush vegetation and vibrant wildlife. The valley is home to a variety of moths and butterflies, making it a captivating spot for nature lovers of all ages.

After working up an appetite, we’ll return to the yacht for a freshly prepared lunch, featuring a range of options to suit various tastes and dietary needs.

We then continue our journey to the world-famous Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon). This stunning location offers both adventure and relaxation. For thrill-seekers, paragliding from Babadag Mountain offers the chance to soar 2,000 meters above the lagoon and beach, creating an unforgettable experience. For those who prefer a more tranquil moment, relaxing on deck and admiring the views is equally rewarding.

As the day winds down, we will anchor near St. Nicholas Island, a unique destination where history and nature come together. Guests can explore ancient ruins, learn about the island’s fascinating past, and enjoy panoramic views of the coastline. The day concludes with a breathtaking sunset over the Mediterranean, a moment that leaves a lasting impression on guests of all ages.

Day 2

As dawn breaks, our experienced crew will guide the gulet along the picturesque Patara coastline, arriving at Hidayet Bay where a fresh and nourishing breakfast will be served. Afterward, take a refreshing swim in the calm Mediterranean waters before we continue toward the charming town of Kaş.

This delightful fishing village is renowned for its vibrant artisan shops, colorful markets, and historic ancient theatre. Guests will have free time to explore Kaş at their leisure, discovering handcrafted goods, unique souvenirs, and the warm hospitality of local vendors.

Many guests choose to enjoy lunch in Kaş town, with its inviting cafes and traditional Turkish restaurants. In the afternoon, we offer a hands-on Turkish cooking class on board, where you will learn to prepare authentic dishes such as cheese rolls (sigara böreği) and gözleme (Turkish pancakes). Once prepared, enjoy a delicious brunch featuring your own creations in a relaxed setting on deck.

Later in the afternoon, we will set sail once more and anchor in a peaceful bay between Kaş and Kekova, where you can unwind and spend a tranquil night surrounded by the natural beauty of the Turkish Mediterranean coast.

Day 3

Today’s journey begins with a visit to the captivating Sunken City of Kekova, an ancient Lycian settlement submerged by an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. Now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remarkable site offers a unique window into the past. While swimming and snorkeling are not permitted due to preservation regulations, cruising along its edges aboard the gulet provides an unforgettable view of this submerged archaeological wonder.

In the afternoon, we will anchor near Kekova Island, where you’ll have the opportunity to visit the historic Simena Castle (Kaleköy Castle). A short climb to the top rewards you with panoramic views of the turquoise bay and surrounding hillsides. Be sure to try the famous homemade ice cream from the local vendors near the castle - a sweet and refreshing treat after the walk.

As the day draws to a close, we will anchor in the tranquil waters of Gökkaya Bay, where you can relax on deck and enjoy a peaceful night beneath the stars.

Day 4

Begin your final morning with a special breakfast at the renowned Turtle Beach (İztuzu Beach), where you will have the unique opportunity to swim alongside the gentle Mediterranean sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in their protected natural habitat. This refreshing experience offers a memorable connection with nature and wildlife.

Following breakfast, we will set sail towards Demre Harbour, arriving at approximately 09:30 a.m. For guests continuing their travels, a complimentary shuttle service to Olympos is available, ensuring a seamless transition to your next destination.
