Sail Turkey: Fethiye Kekova Fethiye Mix Age Gulet Cruise

This morning it's time for you to enjoy your sleep while the crew wakes up at dawn to get moving on the most significant distance of your sail week. The team will head off early for you to wake up in a beautiful bay just outside of Kalkan... You may want to wake up with a dip in the ocean before your Captain takes you onto Kas.

­ 

Optional Activity: Diving in Kas

­We're told this is our guest's favorite place in Turkey – a small, cobbled, old fishing village. The streets are lined with beautiful bougainvillea and old Ottoman houses, which also have lovely jewellery shops and clothing boutiques inside. You can enjoy shopping or catch up on social media and hang out in one of the numerous cafes that offer wifi. After a few hours in Kas, your captain will anchor in a secluded bay for another beautiful night under the stars.

Today is going to be an action-packed day. We're sailing past the famous Sunken City of Kekova. Your Captain will go slow enough for you to get your photos and enjoy the natural ruins as they fall into the ocean. Swim or stop over the ruins as this is a protected site and illegal. You will then have the opportunity to visit Kekova and Simena Castle.

Climb to the top for fantastic views over the coastline, or sit and enjoy a cold drink or locally made ice cream in one of the cafes in this tiny, unspoiled fishing village. This afternoon, anchor in Gokkaya Bay, one of the most beautiful spots on your trip. Keep an eye out for turtles as you swim.

This morning you will have another swim in the beautiful Gokkaya Bay before you head onto Ucagiz Village Harbour. The people who have chosen the shorter 4-day cruise will depart the boat. So it's time for you to say farewell to new friends. You will also have a few hours to head into town, wander around, sit in a cafe, or visit the impressive Lycian ruins. Around lunchtime, it's time to get back on board and welcome newcomers sailing back with you on the Sail Fethiye blue cruise.

Once everyone is back on board, it will be time to visit the Sunken City of Kekova and Simena Castle. If you didn't climb up last time, now is your chance, or you may like to sit in a cafe or even chill out on board and enjoy the sun and quiet time. 

This morning you will head on for Kas. Time to get the credit cards out again and make those purchases you may have been tempted by last time. You will visit a new bay on your way back to Kas for a swim before anchoring in the beautiful little village. For history buffs, some ancient ruins are scattered throughout the town, and the little theater that overlooks the ocean is only a short walk outside the main hustle and bustle of Kas. Suppose you find it all too hot to talk. Then, why not just stroll to one of the little beaches and dive back into the ocean? Kas has some natural cold currents, so it's a sure way to get a refreshing break from the day's heat. 

This morning your crew headed off early again to get you onto Butterfly Valley. So as you open your eyes for the morning, you may be familiar with the surroundings you will see. Breakfast would be served before you can hike into the valley if you didn't last time, enjoy the beautiful blue waters, and swim to wake yourself up and start the day. Once Butterfly Valley is done, it will be time to cruise back to Oludeniz Beach and the Blue Lagoon.

Optional Activity: Paragliding in Blue Lagoon

Did you go paragliding last time? Are you tempted now? If so, we recommend pre-booking or speaking to your Captain about giving it a go.

That night is again spent at St Nicholas Island. As the sunset is the best from the top of the island, you may choose to go back on land to enjoy it with your new friends, or you may like to sit on the deck and enjoy a quiet sundowner as your crew is getting things ready for dinner.

This morning it's your last day on your Fethiye to Olympos to Fethiye Sail. It's time to enjoy the luxury of being on a boat and get a few swims in before you head back into Fethiye harbor. You should arrive at the port just after lunch. Again, it will be time to farewell new friends and your friendly crew before you return to accommodation or your next destination within Turkey. If you need assistance with your onward plans, please be sure to speak to the Sail Turkey crew when you are booking, as they can assist you with ideas or answer any of your queries. We are confident that this Fethiye Sail week-long cruise has left you relaxed and re-energized, ready to continue your travels. You will be sure to miss it all once you leave.
