Sail Turkey: Fethiye Kekova Fethiye Mix Age Gulet Cruise

Meet at Fethiye harbour at 10:00 am. You will board the gulet, get a briefing and settle into your cabin. If you need directions, just ask our Sail Turkey crew. We will take you to your Turkish gulet for cabin check-in and boat information. We will leave the harbour and go to Butterfly Valley. You can swim in the ocean or walk through Butterfly Valley to look for butterflies. You will then go to Oludeniz Beach, known for paragliding and the Blue Lagoon.

Optional activity: Paragliding in the Blue Lagoon

If you want to see the Blue Lagoon from the air, you can paraglide. For more information and discounts, ask our Sail Turkey staff when you book. As you sail past Oludeniz Beach, your Captain will drop anchor at the Blue Lagoon for you to swim and enjoy the scenery. You will stop at St Nicholas Island in the afternoon, where you can swim and explore the ruins. ...more ...less

Enjoy your sleep while the crew wakes up at dawn to start the most important part of your sail week. The team will leave early, taking you to a beautiful bay just outside Kalkan. You can take a dip in the ocean before your captain takes you to Kas.

Optional activity: Diving in Kas

The waters are very clear and deep. Book this optional activity online before your cruise to get a discount and guarantee your dive.

This is our guests' favourite spot in Turkey: a small old fishing village. The streets are lined with bougainvillea and old Ottoman houses with shops inside. Shop, catch up on social media or hang out in a café with wifi. After a few hours in Kas, your captain will drop anchor in a secluded bay for another night under the stars.

Today we're sailing past the Sunken City of Kekova. Your captain will go slowly so you can take photos. Afterwards, you can visit Kekova and Simena Castle. You can't swim or stop over the ruins. Climb to the top for great views or enjoy a drink or ice cream in the tiny village.

This afternoon, you will anchor in Gokkaya Bay, one of the most beautiful places on the trip. Look out for turtles.

The itinerary for today includes another swim in the beautiful Gokkaya Bay, followed by a visit to Ucagiz Village Harbour. The passengers who have selected the four-day itinerary will disembark the vessel. This marks the conclusion of your time with new colleagues. You will also have the opportunity to spend a few hours in the local area, exploring the town, relaxing in a café, or visiting the impressive Lycian ruins. At approximately lunchtime, guests will be required to return to the vessel to welcome newcomers who will be sailing back with them on the Sail Fethiye blue cruise.

Once all passengers have returned to the vessel, we will proceed to the Sunken City of Kekova and Simena Castle. If you did not have the opportunity to climb up during the previous excursion, you may do so now. Alternatively, you may prefer to relax in a café or on board, enjoying the sun and quiet time.

This morning, you'll set off for Kas, ready to bring out your credit cards and make those purchases you couldn't resist last time. On your way back, you'll visit a new bay for a refreshing swim before anchoring in the charming village of Kas. For those interested in history, you'll find scattered ancient ruins throughout the town, and a small theater perched above the ocean is just a short walk from the lively town center. If the heat is too much, why not take a stroll to one of the nearby beaches and dive into the cool, refreshing waters? Kas has natural cold currents, making it the perfect way to escape the heat and unwind.

This morning, your crew set off early once again to bring you to Butterfly Valley. As you wake up, the familiar surroundings will greet you. Breakfast will be served before you head out for a hike into the valley, if you didn’t get the chance to explore it last time. You can also enjoy the stunning blue waters with a swim to energize yourself and start the day. Once you’ve explored Butterfly Valley, you’ll cruise back to Oludeniz Beach and the Blue Lagoon.

Optional Activity: Paragliding in Blue Lagoon

Did you try paragliding last time? Are you tempted to give it a go now? If so, we suggest pre-booking or speaking to your Captain to arrange this exciting experience.

Tonight, you’ll anchor at St. Nicholas Island once more. The best sunset views are from the top of the island, so you can choose to head ashore and enjoy it with your new friends, or relax on the deck with a quiet sundowner while your crew prepares dinner.

This morning marks your last day on the Fethiye to Olympos to Fethiye cruise. It's time to enjoy the luxury of being on a boat and take a few final swims before heading back to Fethiye harbor, where you'll arrive just after lunch. It's time to say goodbye to new friends and your friendly crew before returning to your accommodation or continuing to your next destination in Turkey. If you need help with onward travel plans, feel free to ask the Sail Turkey crew during booking—they’re happy to assist with suggestions or answer any questions. We hope this week-long cruise has left you relaxed and recharged, ready for your next adventure. You’ll surely miss it once it's over.

Important note: Although we refer to this as a sail, our Turkish gulets typically use motors, as sailing is not common along this coastline. Also, the Captain is always in charge. If weather conditions make any part of the itinerary too rough or unsafe, we prioritize your safety. If the route is changed due to weather, we will do our best to offer alternatives, but no refunds will be provided.
