Sailing trip 1

Arrival and embarkation on the yacht in Fethiye.During a welcome cocktail you will get to know the crew and your fellow travelers. In Fethiye you can take a walk to the Lycian rock tombs or to ancient Telmessos. Overnight stay in the port of Fethiye.

Cast off after breakfast! After a first swim stop, we sail south along the coast to a small bay near Kabak. After lunch, we continue from here towards Kalkan, where we moor in Aquarium Bay. There we also spend the night.

After breakfast we drive again through the beautiful region of Kekova to Aquarium Bay. There we stay for lunch. In the afternoon we go to Simena, a small peninsula that is not connected to the transport network. Thus the place could be spared from mass tourism. You will be taken ashore by one of the numerous water cabs. There you will have the opportunity to visit the castle of Simena and from there enjoy the beautiful view of the bay of Kekova. You will spend the night in the quiet Gökkaya Bay.

After breakfast, the drive continues to Demre, where an optional excursion (+/- 25€ p.p.) can be made. This includes the visit to the ruins of Myra (Lycian rock tombs and ancient theater) and the trip to St. Nicholas Church, where the “real Santa Claus” was a bishop in the 4th century. After lunch, the visit to the famous sunken city is on the program. The ancient city of Apollonia, located here, was destroyed by an earthquake in the 2nd century and sank under the sea level. The fascinating water world with the ruins still clearly visible today offers a popular photo motif. Afterwards we anchor overnight again in an idyllically situated bay.

After breakfast, the journey continues in the direction of Kaş. The picturesque village with its offshore Greek islands attracts especially diving enthusiasts and sailors from all over the world. The bay with its crystal clear water was considered an insider tip for many years, mainly because of the reefs, underwater caves and shipwrecks. Kaş is still spared from all-inclusive hotels and is considered an insider tip especially for backpackers. Here the whole day is at your free disposal, but you can also choose to make a day trip to the Saklikent Gorge as well as to Xanthos (+/- 35€ p.p.).The ship awaits us on the way back already in front of the port of Kalkan. We will spend the night in a bay near Kalkan.

Today we drive all morning along the coast and past Patara beach. Time to enjoy and relax. If this is too boring for you, in the afternoon you have the possibility to enjoy the unique panorama of Ölüdeniz beach during a paragliding flight (+/- 90€ p.p.). For this, you will first drive by jeep to the 1969 meter high mountain Babadağı, where you will get a detailed briefing and then enjoy the fascinating view together with an experienced pilot in an approx. 30-40 min. long tandem flight. In the evening we will anchor in front of Gemiler Island. On the island there are several remains of a medieval town, which you can explore on your own. Four large churches and a gallery passage connecting the summit church of St.Nicholas with the eastern church are the outstanding ruins. Besides the residential settlements, the funerary monuments, cisterns and reservoirs form definable assemblies. The buildings are mostly dated to the 5th-6th century AD. In the bay you still have the opportunity to try numerous water sports activities.

Today we will come back to the port of Fethiye after lunch. Here you will have enough time to buy a souvenir or two for yourself and your loved ones back home. For those who want to end this week deeply relaxed, a visit to a Turkish hamam is a good option. A visit to the barber is also very popular with men. The last night on board we spend in the port of Fethiye.

A last breakfast on board before saying goodbye to the crew. Transfer to the airport to Dalaman or to your connecting hotel.
