Demre to Fethiye
Itinerary
Demre to Gokkaya Bay
Today you will start your cruise around midday when you board your gulet. You will then head out of Demre harbour and onto Pirates Cave. Depending on sea conditions you will have time to explore the inside of this dark cave before we will cruise on for the Sunken City of Kekova. This is an ancient town that dates back 2000 years to the Lycian period and was destroyed by an earthquake, so what you see now are the remnants of the old village falling into and laying beneath the oceans surface. You will cruise over this protected World Heritage site nice and slow to enjoy the view, however no swimming, diving or snorkelling is allowed in this area. Your captain will then steer the yacht across to Simena Castle where you can be taken ashore and choose to walk to the top to witness a magical view over the bay, or you may like to just sit in one of the cafes along the way. Tonight you will spend the night in Gokkaya Bay. Here there is the chance to go party at the nearby island disco of Smuggler's Inn. Meet up with other travellers for a night of dancing under the stars. If you are interested a free boat service will pick you up and bring you back when ready. If not, you are more than welcome to simply relax and chill out on the yacht.
Gokkaya Bay to Aquarium Bay
This morning it's time to cruise onto Yaglica Bay where you will be served breakfast. We will stay here for you to also enjoy a refreshing swim to start your day. You will then cruise to Kas, which is a beautiful fishing village that has been unspoilt over time. You will be given enough time in Kas to enjoy seeing the few sites within the town, wandering the atmospheric cobblestone streets or take in a spot of shopping in the many little boutiques that are in town. In the afternoon it will be time to cruise onto Aquarium Bay where you will anchor down for dinner and spend the night.
Aquarium Bay to St Nicholas Island
This morning you can enjoy sleeping in whilst your hard working crew and captain cruise along so you can wake up in the natural beauty of Butterfly Valley. After breakfast is served there will be time for swimming, sunbathing, and if you are feeling energetic there is time for an optional hike up to the waterfall. Butterfly Valley is known to be the home to over 136 different types of butterflies and moths, however in the summer months difficult to spot. You will then cruise onto Europe’s most photographed beach - Oludeniz. It is also one of the best places in the world to paraglide. So you can either spend your time swimming in the beautiful waters, climbing the rocks into the lagoon or if you fancy gliding off the cliff tops and taking in the spectacular views of the Blue Lagoon and Oludeniz, please let your captain know and they can help book you into paragliding. Later in the afternoon you will cruise onto your last stop for the day St. Nicholas Island. You will arrive with plenty of time to enjoy some watersports, grab a delicious Turkish pancakes and walk up through the island's ruins. Be sure to time it right and stay at the highest point of the island to witness the amazing sunset.
St Nicholas Island to Fethiye
This morning you will have a lazy start to the day and cruise onto Samanlik Bay for breakfast. This will be your last chance for swimming and enjoying your time on board, as after we serve lunch you will cruise into Fethiye Harbour where the cruise will end.
