Itinerary

Fethiye → Ölüdeniz → Gemiler → Kaş → Simena → Kekova → Kalkan → Fethiye

This afternoon, we will transfer you to your Gulet and check you in at the stunning Fethiye harbour, which is a lovely bay surrounded by islands. The check-in time will be approximately 4:00 pm. After checking in, you will have dinner on board. Later, you can explore this delightful harbour town which is also the location of the SAILNSTAY head office.

After having breakfast, we will embark on a journey along the Fethiye Peninsula to discover a peaceful bay where we can have lunch. In case the weather permits, we will sail towards Oludeniz. Once there, you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel, or relax at the Blue Lagoon. We will also visit Butterfly Valley, where you can swim in the stunning bay or walk to the waterfall. Lunch will be served at either Oludeniz or Butterfly Valley. In the afternoon, we will sail to St Nicholas Island, where you can explore the ruins of a Byzantine settlement while the sun sets. We will have dinner and spend the night here.

If you’re interested in an additional activity, you can go paragliding at one of the world’s leading jump sites, the Babadag Mountain. The views from the 6000 feet height will leave you in awe. We suggest you pre-book this activity either online for special rates or through our friendly office staff. However, if you decide to participate in this activity while on-board, please inform your captain.

We plan to leave early to reach Yesilkoy in time for breakfast and a refreshing swim. This peaceful bay is surrounded by olive groves, offering a tranquil setting. After that, we will proceed to Kas, a charming harbour town with a bohemian vibe. You can explore the fascinating murals along the harbour wall or shop at renowned jewellery stores. You can also enjoy a drink at one of the trendy bars. We will have dinner onboard and spend the night in Kas.

Kas is an excellent place to do so if you’re interested in diving. The waters are crystal clear, providing excellent visibility. We recommend pre-booking this optional activity online before your cruise to get discounted rates and guarantee your dive.

Today, we will be heading to Simena, where you can climb up to the spectacular view of the ancient city’s castle. Out in the bay, you will find a theatre carved into the rock and a single Lycian sarcophagus sitting on its pedestal in the water. We will spend the night in the wide bay surrounded by green hills at the nearby Ucagiz Village.

We will be taking a brief cruise this morning to visit the Kekova ruins, also known as The Sunken City. During the day, we will have plenty of time to indulge in swimming and snorkelling before enjoying a delicious lunch on board. Later in the afternoon, we will continue our cruise to Gokkaya Bay where we will spend the night.

Don’t miss Demre’s rich history, from ruins to the original home of St. Nicholas (Santa Claus). We recommend booking the optional Demre Ancient City Tour online before your cruise.

After having breakfast, we are going to Aquarium Bay for a swimming break. The rest of the day will be spent in Kalkan, a picturesque hillside harbour town where you can explore the cobbled winding streets.

You have the option to go on tours to either Patara Beach or visit the ruins at Xanthos and Letoon. Another option is to walk through the Gorge at Saklikent, where you can experience the thrill of its icy cold waters and waterfall.

Today, we will start early and head towards Camli Burun, a beautiful natural bay surrounded by pine-covered hills. You can spend the day relaxing, sunbathing, and swimming. Later, we will spend our last night either at Tarzan’s Bay or Samanlik Bay.

We arrive in Fethiye after breakfast at 09:00. Your crew and friends will bid farewell, and a SAILNSTAY crew member will meet you in the harbour to assist with any onward travel.
