Breakfast is enjoyed on deck while we pass Patara Beach, a long sweep of golden sand that remains wonderfully untouched and strikingly beautiful.

By mid-morning we arrive in Kas, a relaxed harbour town with whitewashed houses, cobbled lanes, and a gentle Mediterranean pace. You have time to explore the boutique shops and waterfront cafés, or you can join an optional scuba dive in one of Turkey’s most renowned underwater sites.

After lunch on board, we continue towards Kekova Island, sailing slowly over the Sunken City of Kekova, an ancient Lycian settlement now resting beneath clear turquoise water. Swimming is not permitted here in order to protect the ruins, but the view from deck is remarkable, especially when the midday light reveals the shapes of ancient walls below.

In the afternoon we visit Simena Castle, a small hilltop village overlooking the entire Kekova archipelago. The short walk to the top offers far-reaching views, and local vendors often serve homemade ice cream that makes a simple but memorable treat.

As the sun begins to set, we anchor in the peaceful Gokkaya Bay area for your final night at sea. Dinner is served on deck under a canopy of stars, with a glass of wine, quiet conversation, and the soft rhythm of the Mediterranean bringing the journey to a gentle close. Optional scuba diving in Kas or a relaxed sea kayak around Kekova is available earlier in the day for those who want a little more adventure, and it is well worth keeping your camera ready as we sail over the Sunken City, when the light reveals every detail beneath the surface.
