Marmaris Fethiye Marmaris
Boarding starts at 15:30 p.m. from Marmaris Port. Early arriving guests can leave their luggage to Turk Yachting Office. On the first day, our boat will be anchored at Marmaris Harbour for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and boat. The cruise will move towards Ekincik Gulf and overnight stay will be in this beautiful gulf. You may join an optional Dalyan excursion. The participants will be taken from the yacht with a smaller boat called ‘Piyade’ which will bring you into the green delta of Dalyan through the Lycian Rock Tombs. You will have a swimming stop at a unique place called Caretta-Caretta beach. There will also be a mud bath occasion.
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 due to the beautiful underwater ruins of an old bath. Then we will cruise to Tersane Island. This naturally protected harbor was used as a shipyard in Byzantine and Ottoman times. The biggest island in the Gulf of Fethiye is Tersane Island, known also as Shipyard Island. This bay has a 100-meter deep channel that was used by the Ottoman navy, hence the name shipyard island.
The bay area has a lot of coves and towards the east lies the Summer harbor. The west side of the bay is not used much due to the strong winds that prevail most of the year. There is an ancient ruined town nearby called Telandria, and if you want to stretch your legs, this is a great place to do so.Kizil island is considered to be a magical place at sunset. The islands name means red and the ground’s color is red. However, it is at sunset when the whole island transforms, all the stones turn crimson red, providing you with an amazing photographic shoot. The island is uninhabited, apart from a lighthouse that is located on the southern tip. The Deliktas isles relocated to the northwest and are considered to be another great place to anchor, but for swimming and fishing. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Kizil Island.
Arrive at Fethiye Harbor early in the morning. It is a naturally beautiful spot, a city beside the sea with many offshore islands adding to the quality of the environment. The region can boast lovely beaches and coves, many historical highlights with Fethiye’s bars and restaurants ensuring a great nightlife. Fethiye itself has ruins within its boundaries, temples and some interesting sarcophagi. We offer an optional jeep safari tour. For those who will not join the Safari, the boat will anchor at Samanlik Bay for lunch and swimming. Afterward around 16:00 the boat will anchor at Ece Saray Marina for dinner and overnight stay.

Lunch will be taken in this beautiful chain of little islands. The Yassica Islands in the Gulf of Gocek are visited on a daily basis by trippers as well as yachts that move up and down this coastline. They are uninhabited with no buildings on any of them but they provide great opportunities to anchor and swim. Many have small beaches as well. The vegetation is pine and olive and the shallow waters are ideal for a number of water sports. Certainly, they are very safe for children and hence popular with families. Some of the islands are very close together and it is easy to swim between some of them. If you want to explore it is advisable to have strong footwear with you because the ground is fairly stony. Dinner and overnight will be in a bay amongst the islands of Gocek.
After breakfast, we sail to the spectacularly stunning Bedri Rahmi Bay. Bedri Rahmi Bay has a Lycian name of Tasyaka or Dark Bay, a reflection of both its natural beauty and historical significance. Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu was a famous Turkish literary man who also loved art and painting. Back in 1973 when he was cruising with friends, he drew a fish on a huge rock at the entrance to the bay. It is now known as ”Fish Rock” which has become known as the name of the whole region.
The Bay is well sheltered from any winds and as a result yachts often anchor there. The color on the slopes is created by the pine trees, olive groves and especially the oleanders. Add to that the blue waters and the beach and the image is amazing. Sarsala Bay is a popular bay with yachtsmen because it is a natural bay good for swimming or for staying overnight. The attractive bay has a long stony beach, a valley running inland which is covered with trees and is overlooked by Forestry Mountain. A restaurant and pontoon are found in Sarsala Bay where yachts regularly moor. Cruise to Aga Limani after lunch. The twin bays of Aga Limani are a tempting place to drop anchor. They are close to the tip of Kurtoglu Bay within the Gulf of Fethiye and as a network port, you are able simply to relax, swim, try your luck at fishing or take even a long walk along the beach. The sea is extremely clean it and water is cooler than elsewhere as a result of the underwater source near the beach. If you follow the path to the bay for around an hour you will arrive at the ancient Lycian city of Lyda. Overnight stay will be in this lovely bay.
Cruise starts early in the morning and the breakfast will be served in the bay of Kumlubuk which lies within the sight of Marmaris but is cut off from it by a forbidding set of Limestone Mountains. Kumlubuku is a place where you can enjoy the lovely beaches, warm waters and of course the sun. It is quieter than the towns further north so it is a great place to swim, away from the crowds. You will have lunch in a nice bay of Cennet Island. Paradise (Cennet) Island which is situated at the entry to Marmaris Bay is not really an island. It is a peninsula but it is certainly better accessed from the sea than the land. A naturally beautiful place, the Island is a great place to spend a time. Overnight stay will be at Marmaris Harbor.
We will leave the boat by 10:30 after breakfast.
