Fethiye to Olympos Sailing Adventure - 4 days

Fethiye - Samanlik Bay - Red Island - Boncuklu Bay or Tarzan Bay. Once you arrive in Fethiye, make your way to the harbour office at 14:00, where you will meet the crew and the group you will be travelling with. After you check in, we cast off at 14:30 to begin our journey along the coast.

Our first chance to swim is at either Samanlik Bay or Red Island, where we take a relaxed break to enjoy the clear Mediterranean water and settle into life on board. It is the perfect introduction to the days ahead, with music playing and everyone easing into holiday mode.

As the afternoon drifts into evening, we continue towards Boncuklu Bay or Tarzan Bay. We take in the sunset from the deck while dinner cooks on the barbecue, creating a warm and easy-going atmosphere. After we eat, the rest of the evening is left open for casual drinks, stargazing, and getting to know your new travel companions.

Red island- Butterfly Valley - Oludeniz - St Nicholas Island. We begin the day sailing towards Butterfly Valley, a dramatic canyon rising steeply above clear turquoise water. We anchor here for a swim and time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings before continuing along the coast.

Later, we arrive at Oludeniz and the Blue Lagoon. If you are feeling adventurous, you can choose to paraglide from nearby Babadag Mountain for a bird's-eye view over the coastline, or simply relax on board or enjoy a swim in the calm, sheltered lagoon.

In the afternoon, we return to the gulet for a hands-on Turkish cooking class, where we prepare a selection of local specialities. Together, we make traditional manti, crisp sigara boregi cheese rolls and a fresh Turkish spoon salad, before sitting down to enjoy the dishes we have prepared.

By late afternoon, we anchor at St Nicholas Island. We walk through the island’s ancient remains to reach viewpoints overlooking the bay, especially beautiful as the sun begins to set. After taking in the scenery, we return to the gulet for a relaxed evening under the stars.

Please note: that the preparation of manti may vary depending on the season and ingredient availability.

St. Nicholas - Kas - Kekova - Simena - Gokkaya Bay. We set off early, travelling along the coast past Patara Beach before arriving in Kas. After breakfast, you have free time to explore the town’s narrow streets, browse its small shops and cafes, or join an optional scuba dive to experience one of Türkiye’s most renowned underwater sites.

In the afternoon, we continue towards Kekova Island and pass over the protected Sunken City, where the remains of an ancient Lycian settlement can be seen below the waterline. We then move on to Simena, where we walk up to the hilltop castle for panoramic views of the surrounding bays, stopping to try the village’s well-known homemade ice cream if you wish.

As the day comes to a close, we anchor in Gokkaya Bay. After dinner, you can choose to head ashore for a lively night at Smugglers Inn, an open-air bar accessible only by boat.

Gokkaya Bay - Demre/Olympos. Our final morning begins with a gentle cruise towards Pirates Cave for a short visit and photo opportunity. We then continue to Camli Bay for our last swim stop and a relaxed lunch on board. As we sail towards Demre, you may spot sea turtles gliding along the surface near the boat.

We reach Demre Harbour around 13:00, where your journey comes to an end. After disembarking, you can join the complimentary shuttle to Olympos.
