Tour style – Sailing/Cruising, Chill out & Beach

8 days

Island hop around Turkey’s most beautiful beaches on this 8 day cruise and you’ll never want to return to dry land! Float along with adorable Loggerhead turtles, rejuvenate your skin in sulphurous mud baths, swim in stunning bays, and be lulled asleep by the waves every evening. You’ll witness underwater ruins of a Roman bathhouse, Lycian tombs carved into rock, and maybe even a few dolphins or two! You’ve never seen Turkey like this before.
  • Day 1 Marmaris

    Board the Gulet at 5pm in Marmaris and relax with a welcome drink at the pre-cruise information session (and test out your resistance to any seasickness). Feast on an onboard dinner while meeting the other passengers and spend an evening floating in Marmaris Harbour.

  • Day 2 Ekincik / Izturu / Dalyan

    After breakfast, cruise over to Ekincik and the beautiful beach of Izturu, famous for its adorable Caretta Caretta turtle inhabitants (no, they’re not available to buy as pets). With the ancient city of Caunos nearby, take a boat trip up the Dalyan river, passing the fascinating Lycian rock tombs. That odour you can smell on the way isn’t sewage, it’s actually your next destination – the sulphurous mud baths and hot springs. Just hold your nose and enjoy nature’s very own spa- it’s nicer than it sounds.

  • Day 3 Aga Limani Bay / Manastir Bay

    On Day 3 it’s on to the stunning Aga Limani Bay, a horseshoe shaped cove enclosed by rocky slopes and pine forests, for a swim. In the afternoon, head to Manastir Bay, known as the Bay of Cleopatra. Believed to have been visited by the Egyptian queen, swim around the amazing underwater ruins of a Roman bathhouse before stopping overnight in the Hamam Bay area.

  • Day 4 Yassica Islands / Fethiye

    Island hop from the gorgeous Gulf of Tersane over to the lovely Yassica Islands, a collection of five small islands, before stopping at Fethiye for the night.

  • Day 5 Gocek / Yassica Island

    Spend the day walking around the breathtaking Lycian rock tombs in the ancient city of Telmessos before taking a trip over to Gocek. Set at the deepest point of Fethiye’s gulf, it has spectacular views overlooking the 12 islands of the bay. Enjoy an afternoon of swimming and tanning before cruising on back to Yassica Island.

  • Day 6 Cape Disibilmez / Ekincik

    Catch signs of dolphins as you sail to Cape Disibilmez, a picturesque rocky bay surrounded by rugged mountains, and the tiny Baba Islands, before setting in the pretty bay of Ekincik for the night.

  • Day 7 Iceada Cebekilise / Marmaris

    In the morning, cruise to Iceada Cebekilise and pass through Turunc with a stop off in either Kadirga or Kumlubuk for a swim in the crystal waters. By the afternoon you’ll arrive into Marmaris harbour for the final night onboard the yacht. After breakfast on Day 8 it’s back on dry land and time for home.
