Spend the night on the boat, docked in Fethiye Harbour.

After breakfast, we set sail from Fethiye Harbour, cruising around the Fethiye Peninsula to the stunning coastal resort village of Oludeniz. Enjoy a swim and a walk at the nearby Butterfly Valley nature reserve. As the day winds down, we anchor at St. Nicholas Island, where you can explore the ruins of an ancient Byzantine settlement. After a delicious dinner on board, choose to sleep in your cabin or under the stars on the deck.

We start the day early, sailing towards the serene bay of Yesilkoy, surrounded by Mediterranean shrubland and olive groves. After breakfast and a swim in the bay, we head to the charming harbour town of Kas. Here, you can explore the whitewashed houses adorned with colourful bougainvillea and discover the ancient ruins of Antiphellos. Spend the night moored in Kas, soaking up its bohemian atmosphere.

Our first stop today is the picturesque fishing village of Simena.

After a day of exploration, we anchor for the night in the tranquil bay of Ucagiz, surrounded by green hills.

A short cruise this morning takes us to the island of Kekova, known for its turquoise sea and the sunken ruins of the ancient Lycian settlement of Dolchiste. While swimming is not permitted here, we'll head next to Tersane Bay where you can swim and explore the ruins of an ancient Byzantine church and a Roman dockyard. We end the day in the beautiful bay of Gokkaya, where we'll spend the night.

After breakfast, we cruise to the sheltered bay at Bayindir Limani for a swim. The rest of the day is spent in the picturesque harbour town of Kalkan, nestled on a hillside with the Taurus Mountains as a backdrop.
