Fethiye to Antalya
Itinerary
Fethiye
Today you will check into your gulet in the afternoon around 15:30pm. Once you are onboard you will be given information and settled into your cabins. Tonight you will be staying in Fethiye Harbour so you have the afternoon and evening to explore town. You may like to visit the Lycian tombs high in the cliff faces for sunset or enjoy the shopping in the old town. Dinner will be served on board and then you may like to go back into town to explore the night life of Fethiye or enjoy a quiet drink on the boat.
Fethiye to Kalkan
After breakfast in Fethiye Harbour this morning, you will then cruise out of the harbour bound for the famous Oludeniz beach. One of the most photographed beaches in the world you can see why as you cruise past and anchor down on the back side of the Blue Lagoon. You will get to enjoy time here to sunbathe, swim, snorkel and enjoy your lunch onboard looking at one of the most beautiful beaches in Turkey. You will also be able to climb over the rocks to swim in the Blue Lagoon for free. After lunch you & will cruise to Firnaz Bay, which is just outside of Kalkan. This is where you will anchor down for the evening.
Kalkan to Aperlai Bay
After breakfast you will then cruise onto Kas, a small harbour town with a bohemian atmosphere. Beautiful cobble stone streets lined with old ottoman homes, be sure to look around for the renowned jewelry stores or have a drink at one of the trendy bars. There are also some ancient sights scattered throughout town with ancient Lycian tombs and a small amphitheater just on the outside of town, within easy walking distance. Lunch will then be served onboard before you then cruise around to Aperlai Bay, making swimming stops along the way. This is where you will anchor down for the night, so you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the bay and a beautiful sunset on board over a cold drink.
Aperlai Bay to Gokkaya Bay
This morning, you will cruise straight onto the Sunken City of Kekova. This was once part of the village you can see opposite, but was destroyed in an earthquake back in the 2nd century. As you cruise by you will see the ruins of the houses and the village all submerged in the waters. You will then head over to visit Simena, where you can join the optional walk up to the ancient castle grounds. Or you can choose to wander through past all the old Lycian tombs that are scattered over the island. You will then cruise onto Gokkaya Bay where you will anchor down for the night. If you fancy a night out there is a night club called Smuggler's Inn in the middle of nowhere nearby. If you are interested in going to meet up with other neighbouring boats and dance the night away, speak with your crew. Or you can always choose to stay on board and have a quiet drink under the stars.
Gokkaya Bay to Olympos
This morning you will then cruise onto the beautiful beach of Olympos. You can swim to shore to laze on the gorgeous pebble beach or go for a wander to visit the ancient city hidden that lies in the overgrown trees behind the beach. It's a relaxing day to take at your own pace as this is where you will anchor for the night.
Olympos to Porto Ceneviz/Sazak
Whilst you are all enjoying breakfast on board, you will cruise onto Porto Ceneviz or the bay of Sazak. Both of these places are known for their shocking beauty with the sheer cliffs dropping right into the sea. You will more than likely find the bays completely deserted for your own group to enjoy in complete privacy. In one of these chosen bays you will anchor down to spend the evening.
Porto Ceneviz/Sazak to Antalya
This morning you will cruise to Phaselis which is a beautiful series of bays and beaches covered in pine trees and some ancient ruins to explore. There is a small fee to pay to enter the National Park, where you will find a small museum and other ruins such as grand harbour street and elaborate Roman baths. This was once three ancient harbours that were once a major commercial centre and the ruins truly reveal the city's historical importance. This afternoon you will head to Antalya Harbour where we will stay the night. Dinner will be on board before you have time to go and explore the beautiful walled in old City of Antalya, known as Kalieci.
Antalya
This morning after breakfast it's time to check out around 10:30am and bid farewell to your friendly crew. If you need assistance with your ongoing journey or transfer please do not hesitate to discuss this at the time of making your private charter reservation.
