We start another breathtaking day at sunrise as we sail towards the Ekincik Region. After anchoring in the peaceful bay, you can spend a relaxing morning on deck, soaking up the sun and taking refreshing swims, or embark on an excursion to Dalyan and Kaunos.
If you choose the excursion, you’ll board a small fishing boat and journey through the labyrinth of reeds along the Dalyan River, where an untouched world of natural beauty awaits. The river winds past dramatic rock-cut Lycian tombs carved high into the cliffs, standing as silent guardians of a bygone civilization. Gliding through the calm waters, you may glimpse the famous Caretta Caretta sea turtles, which have nestled on Turtle Beach for centuries.
Visiting the ancient city of Kaunos offers a glimpse into a fascinating past. Wander through the Roman amphitheatre, temples, and baths, feeling the echoes of history beneath your feet. After exploring the ruins, you can indulge in a therapeutic mud bath, a favourite local tradition believed to rejuvenate body and soul.
The rest of the day is yours to enjoy—perhaps a dip in the crystal-clear waters, sunbathing on deck, or simply letting the serenity of nature wash over you.
As evening falls, we anchor for the night in Ekincik Bay, surrounded by pine forests and the soothing sound of waves. Over a beautifully prepared dinner, you reflect on the wonders of the day before drifting into a peaceful slumber under the star-filled sky.
