Itinerary

You can board your boat in Marmaris Harbor, located in the heart of Marmaris, at 16:30. After the necessary briefings, you'll have ample time to explore the city's major attractions.
Dinner will be served on the boat; however, guests arriving after 21:30 will be offered a simple dinner box (sandwiches, fruit, etc.).
If all passengers arrive before 18:30, our boat will set sail and anchor in the nearest cove for dinner. Otherwise, the gulet will stay anchored in Marmaris harbor for the night. We would like you to consider this information while plan your flight to Marmaris.
If the boat stays in Marmaris Harbor, you can enjoy the Saturday evening in Marmaris, strolling along the shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars lining the shoreline and streets.
Accommodation: Gulet - Marmaris Harbour

After a hearty breakfast, we set our course for Ekincik Bay. Ekincik Bay is a significant attraction for diving enthusiasts, so we recommend bringing your snorkeling gear.
Optionally, you can join a Dalyan tour to observe Lycian rock tombs dating back to prehistoric times and visit Iztuzu Beach, known as the nesting area for loggerhead sea turtles.
The night will be spent in Ekincik Bay, and dinner will be served on the boat.
Accommodation: Gulet - Ekincik Bay

On days when the crystal-clear waters prevail, we start the morning by heading to Göcek Bay. We begin the day with a stop at the Sunken Bath and savor the historic charm of this location. Known for the ancient ruins, this place gained fame with the historical bath remains believed to have been built for Cleopatra during the ancient Lycian period. Additionally, traces of a Byzantine-era monastery can be found underwater in these waters.

Next, we set our course for Tersane Island, where you can explore the remnants of ancient Greek settlements, the shipyard it was named after, and the watchtower. We anchor for the evening and enjoy dinner on the boat at Kızılada, known as Lagusa in ancient Greek times.

Accommodation: Gulet - Red Island

In the early hours, we set sail for Fethiye, the district with the largest surface area in Muğla and a rich history dating back thousands of years. Fethiye is one of Turkey's most popular tourist regions, with its rich history and hospitable atmosphere. Here, you have the option to join an optional Safari tour to discover Yakapark, Gizlikent Waterfall and Saklıkent Canyon, the most valuable treasures of Fethiye. If you prefer not to join the tour, you can visit Fethiye's traditional Tuesday bazaar and savor the taste of fresh fruits grown in this beautiful climate. If you wish to stay on the boat, you can have lunch and enjoy the cool waters in Samanlık Bay.
In the afternoon, we return to Fethiye port for the night and dinner. If you prefer, you can explore the city's beauties with a pleasant walk along the seaside promenade.
Accommodation: Gulet - Fethiye

After breakfast, we head to Göcek Islands. While navigating these stunning natural wonders, we anchor at Yassıca Islands within the gulf. This place is a natural conservation area surrounded by pine and olive trees, with its exceptional shoreline. Lunch is served in these beautiful mini-archipelagos. We recommend trying activities like swimming and diving in these crystal-clear waters.
For the evening and dinner, we set our course for Göcek Island, famous for making Göcek port so renowned. Göcek Island is one of the most famous islands in the region and offers numerous options for an unforgettable evening. Dinner is served on the boat.
Accommodation: Gulet - Göcek Island

After breakfast, we reach a stunning cove named after one of the prominent figures in the Blue Cruise culture, painter and poet Bedri Rahmi. Originally known as Taşyaka, this cove started being referred to as Bedri Rahmi Cove after the famous painter and poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu visited the beautiful area in 1974 and created his famous fish-shaped artwork on a rock.
Later, we set our course for Sarsala Bay. The Sarsala pier was built for grain shipments from the Dalaman and Ortaca plains to Egypt in its time. The remnants of the old pier and customs building can still be observed.
After lunch, we arrive at Port of Aga. You can reach the ancient city of Lydai (Khydai/Klydai) within 30-40 minutes by following a path starting from the beach. The night is spent in this charming port, and dinner is served onboard.
Accommodation: Gulet - Port of Aga

After breakfast, we head towards Kumlubük Bay. Near Kumlubük Beach, there's a cave adorned entirely by nature with stalactites, stalagmites, and galleries. Besides this cave, you can explore Amos, an ancient city, and Hisarburnu, located very close to Kumlubük Beach. Lunch is served here, and you can take a swim break to cool off.

We anchor at Paradise Island for afternoon tea. Paradise Island's Nimara Cave was used by people from the Paleolithic era to the Bronze Age and is definitely worth a visit. This is the last stop where you can have a swim.

At the end of the day, we return to Marmaris Harbor around 16:00. Guests who wish to do can explore Marmaris and enjoy its nightlife. Dinner will not be served on the boat this evening.

Accommodation: Gulet - Marmaris Harbour

After breakfast, you have to leave the boat until 10:00. And this journey ends with unforgettable memories and new friendships.
