ROUTE

Fethiye - Turunc Bay - Butterfly Valley - Oludeniz - Cold Springs - Gemiler - Tersane Creek - Cleopatra Bay (Hamam) - Adaya - Trident - Sarsala - Bedri Rahmi Bay - Yasica Islands - Gocek - Turunc Pinari Restaurant - Fethiye

1. Day Fethiye – Turunc Bay

We meet at Ece Marina, check into the yacht, get acquainted with the crew and the rules provided for on the yacht, and set off to the first location with the purest turquoise water in Turunc Bay or Tarzan Bay.

We specially planned the first day at sea so that you could get used to the pitching - “get pumped up”, as the sailors say, and no longer pay attention to it. Along the way, we get introductory practice as a captain, go through initiation into the “Sea Wolves,” and watch how the mooring goes.
We have dinner and discuss our future plan.

Day 2 Turunc Bay - Butterfly Valley - Oludeniz - Cold Springs

We wake up, enjoy swimming and snorkeling, have breakfast on the yacht and head to the anchorage in Oludeniz (Turkish Maldives). 2nd practice about the cap - setting the anchor.
We go out to the beach and take the funicular up Mount Babadag (or Baba Mountain) - 1969 meters above sea level.

Day 3 Cold Springs - Gemiler

We explore the opposite bay with the same clear turquoise water and head to the island with the remains of the ruins of Byzantine churches and a settlement of the 4th - 6th centuries AD - Gemiler Island.

While we are walking, we are learning how to tie sea knots and steer a yacht while standing at the helm, feeling how with every micro movement the boat obeys and follows your impulse. And it’s also time for us to set up our 3rd Genaker sail, red and scarlet. Beautiful photos are guaranteed to you.
O. Gemiler - According to scientists, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker used to live here, who fled from persecution by the Romans.

There is a 350-meter tourist route, along which we will examine the ruins of 5 churches, as well as about 40 structures, a long stone wall stretching along the ridge of the hill, a huge cistern, a granary and about 50 Christian graves carved directly into the rock.

Day 4 – Gemiler - Tersane Creek island - Kapi Creek

Today we cruise along several islands to the island of Tersane with the ruins of a once very important shipyard. Tersane Creek is a very pleasant bay, surrounded by olive groves and with the ruins of a Byzantine or Ottoman shipyard.

Welcome to Capi Creek, one of the most beautiful bays in Turkey. Everything is wonderful here. From a bird's eye view you can spend hours enjoying the panoramic view.

5 Day Kapi Krik – Cleopatra Bay (Hamam) – Adaya

Breakfast on the yacht or in a restaurant, we say goodbye to Ismet and head out to the picturesque Adaya Bay. Along the way, we'll take a look at the bay of Cleopatra's Bath. Swim among the ancient ruins, which according to legend were Mark Antony's wedding gift to Cleopatra. We'll have lunch and head along the coast to the open sea through forest and rocks - get ready for some trekking. And we will meet the sunset in the most beautiful restaurant ADAIA.

Day 6 Adaya - Sarsala - Bedri Rahmi Bay - Yasica Islands - Gocek

Breakfast on the yacht or in a restaurant, we unmoor and set off cheerfully to Bedri Rahmi Bay, named after one of the first “Blue Cruisers”. Bedri Rahmi Bay is one of the most famous in the Gulf of Fethiye. Located opposite the island of Tersane, it was named after the Turkish poet who decorated the local rock with an image of a fish in 1973.

Afterwards we will go to the Jasica Islands. These tiny islands do not have individual names. They are so small that no one has named them. The largest one has a sandy beach and a small headland next to the pool next to the lagoon. We swim, sunbathe and go to Gocek Marina. An evening promenade along green streets, well-groomed paths and cozy houses will inspire you to take beautiful photos, because here you can walk in your beautiful dress and stroll around the city at night.

Day 7 Gocek - Turunc Pinari Restaurant

We walk along the neat streets of Gocek - this is a real Klondike place for gifts for loved ones. Let's go to the hammam with a massage, foam and scrub. In general, today we are resting and chilling. The team is relaxed.

And after lunch we go towards Fethiye. We remember all the knowledge that we received from the captain, because you will receive your Sea Wolf license in the evening.
Turunc Pinari Restaurant - If you come here, you will enter paradise, as tourists write in their reviews about this place. We celebrate the end of our sea voyage with a gala dinner with keepsakes.

Day 8 Turunc Pinari Restaurant - Fethiye

We have breakfast, wishes to each other, words of gratitude and happy smiles.
Transfer to Fethiye and release of the yacht at 09:00


In case of bad weather and/or sea conditions, this program is subject to change without prior notice.

The route and program can be changed in agreement with the captain or due to weather conditions. The team may suggest visiting the bays in a different order.
