Marmaris – Fethiye – Marmaris Gulet | 8 Days

DAY 1:                                     MARMARIS

Boarding starts at 16:30pm from Marmaris Harbour. On the first day, the service starts on the boat with dinner and an overnight stay in Marmaris Port. Marmaris, which was built upon one of the antique Karian cities called Phyckos, has been under the rule of many different civilizations. The most valuable work of art that you can see today is Marmaris Castle dating from 1577. There is also a mosque and an 8-room caravansary covered with arches from the Ottoman Period. The ruins of the Antique times lie on Asar Hill; a small, low hill located on the northern side of the city. Being one of the bestknown touristic places of Turkey, Marmaris also has a large marina.

DAY 2:                                     MARMARIS – EKINCIK GULF – DALYAN

After your breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and the boat. The cruise will move towards Ekincik Gulf. You may join our optional Dalyan Tour from here. You will be taken from your yacht by a small boat called “piyade”. You will arrive at Caretta-Caretta (turtle) Beach and take a swimming break here. You will enjoy the natural beauty of the delta as you cruise along the river. You will see the ancient Rock Tombs and finally arrive at mud baths to relax and be rejuvenated. A fishing village called Dalyan will be our final destination after we return to our yacht by piyade boat. Dinner and an overnight stay will be in the Gulf of Ekincik. (B, L, D)

DAY 3:                                     DALYAN – SUNKEN TURKISH BATH – TERSANE ISLAND – KIZIL ISLAND

Because of the wavy seas of Disibilmez and Kurtoglu capes that we have to cross, we will cruise earlier than the other days and reach the world-famous Gocek Gulf. We will anchor at Sunken Bath for breakfast and swimming break. This place is also known as Cleopatra Bay or Sunken Bath Bay due to the beautiful underwater ruins of an old bath. Then we will cruise to Tersane Island. This naturally protected harbour was used as the shipyard in Byzantine and Ottoman times. Dinner and overnight stay at Kizil Island. (B, L, D)

DAY 4:                                     KIZIL ISLAND – FETHIYE

Arrive at Fethiye Harbor early in the morning. Fethiye, which was known as Telmessos in the ancient times, was the most important city situated on Lycia’s western border with Caria. It is believed that the city’s name comes from Apollo’s son Telmessos. As the name suggests, the city was the city of light and was famous for its prophets. We also offer the option of a jeep safari tour in Fethiye. For those who will not join the Safari, the boat will cruise to Samanlik Bay for lunch and swimming. Afterwards around 16:00 the boat will anchor at Ece Saray Marina for dinner and overnight stay. (B, L, D)

DAY 5:                                     FETHIYE – GOCEK ISLAND – YASSICA ISLANDS

After breakfast, depart from Fethiye Harbour for Gocek Island. While moving through uniquely beautiful islands, we finally anchor at Yassica Islands. Lunch will be taken in this beautiful chain of little islands. Snorkeling in the crystal clear water is recommended. Dinner and overnight in a bay amongst the islands of Gocek. (B, L, D)

DAY 6:                                     YASSICA ISLANDS – BEDRI RAHMI BAY – SARSALA – AGA LIMANI

After breakfast, sail to the spectacularly stunning Bedri Rahmi Bay, named after a famous Turkish artist and then to Sarsala Bay. Cruise to Aga Limani before lunch. Overnight stay in this lovely bay. (B, L, D)

DAY 7:                                     AGA LIMANI – KUMLUBUK BAY – CENNET ISLAND – MARMARIS

After breakfast, depending on the weather, depart early for Kumlubuk Bay with swim stops along the way. Kumlubük – meaning Sandycove – lies within sight of the harbour of Marmaris but is cut off from it by a forbidding set of limestone mountains. Development is still embryonic. The 2-mile-long beach of black sand remains uncrowded. Behind it, a handful of farmhouses and a few shabby hotels stick out of the citrus gardens. The ruins of ancient Amos lie undisturbed in the bush on top of a cliff on the edge of the village. Tea is served at 5 pm somewhere in the vicinity of Cennet Island. Afterwards we sail to Marmaris port. Overnight stay at Marmaris Harbour. Guests wishing to see more of Marmaris are recommended to go to the city center and experience the lively night life. (B, L)

DAY 8:                                     MARMARIS

Disembarkation by 10.30am after breakfast. (B)
