Cleopatra’s Baths
Cleopatra’s Baths, on the southwest of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, is only possible to visit by boat – meaning it would be a missed opportunity not to visit on your yacht charter! The site is said to be where Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt over 2000 years ago, bathed and visited. The ruins of the historic monastery are still present at the site, and many enjoy snorkeling and exploring the remains of the building.
The difficulty in traveling to the site means it remains peaceful, and the benefit of having a yacht is particularly felt in the evenings when tour boats are not visiting and the area is all yours. As well as having other ruins, the area is also great for hiking and provides scenic views across the bay.
Butterfly Valley
Butterfly Valley is one of the most scenic places in Turkey. Only accessible by boat, it also has protected status because, as the name eludes to, the valley is home to over 100 different species of butterfly. An idyllic white-sand beach greets you as you sail up to the valley and beyond that, there is a green oasis of wildlife, free for you to explore and immerse yourself in.
After a hike or perhaps just a sunbathe on the beach, watch the sunset from a hammock or while eating fresh seafood at the independent restaurant on the beach. Butterfly Valley is an unrivaled destination for relaxation. Butterfly Valley gulet/yacht charer.
