Day 2: Breakfast is NOT included today. After a briefing by our local tour guide, we will set off for a cruise to the Blue Lagoon, known as Oludeniz Beach, the most photographed beach in the world. Tandem paragliding at the Blue Lagoon is an optional activity available, offering breathtaking panoramic views from an altitude of 2,000 meters. Please let us know ahead of time if you’d like to book optional activities. In the evening, we will anchor at St. Nicholas Island, where you can enjoy a short walk among the ruins, visit the hidden amphitheater, and experience one of the best sunsets in Turkey amidst the ancient remains.
Day 3: Today, we will sail to Aquarium Bay in the morning, known for its clear waters and peaceful natural beauty. Next, we will head to Hidayet Bay; here, there will be optional Scuba Diving available. This is Turkey's best diving region. We will visit Kas tonight for a night out and to see the city. Kas has a rich history dating back to the Lycian era; it’s a beautiful ancient village full of cafes, souvenir shops, and good nightlife.
Day 4: Today, we will sail to the ruins of the Sunken City, destroyed in an earthquake in the 2nd century. You'll see submerged houses and the town underwater. Next, we will head to Simena Castle and hike to the top, which has indescribable panoramic views, Turkish villagers, and Byzantine-era ruins to create an authentic experience and the best homemade ice creams. Then, we will head to Burch Bay, a stunning bay perfect for paddle-boarding, and visit the ruins after a small hike.
Day 5: After enjoying breakfast, we will head to Karemlik Turtles Bay, where you can swim with the Turtles! Then head to Demre port. Once we arrive at the port, you will continue your Journey by bus to the St. Nicholas Church in the city centre of Demre, where you will have free time for lunch (lunch is not included today). Then we head to the Ancient city of Myra, one of the 6 big cities of the Lycian League, dating back to 2.500 years. In the late afternoon, we will head to Gokkaya Bay for the night, a magnificent bay surrounded by multiple tiny isles. We will visit Island of Smugglers Inn, a unique rustic nightclub in the middle of nowhere.
Day 6: This morning, you will have the chance to go hiking to the Aperlai ruins. It is an easy flat walk, with fascinating sites and views. We will walk through Lycian ruins, including numerous tombs that all fell or were wrecked after several earthquakes and are still relatively untouched and unrestored. Later, we will cruise on to Heybeli Island, a Turkish island next to Castereliszo (Meis), for a swim break, then on to Firnaz Aquarium Bay, where we will anchor down for the afternoon and evening, allowing plenty of time for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxation.
Day 7: We will cruise early, and you will wake up to breathtaking views of Butterfly Valley for breakfast, swim, and hike up to the waterfall. Butterfly Valley is a spectacular gorge surrounded by cliff faces. A large, multi-tiered waterfall flows down the steep limestone cliff into the back of the valley. The bay spans 86,000 sqm and is reputedly home to over 100 species of butterflies. Butterfly Valley Cove is surrounded by cliffs reaching 350m high, with a waterfall pouring down the back canyon wall. After Butterfly Valley, we will take a bus to Gemiler Beach, where we will continue our journey to Kayakoy Village, also known as the Ghost Town. This abandoned Greek village is now a breathtaking open-air museum featuring about 500 preserved houses and three churches, all remarkable examples of Gothic architecture, with only the bare walls remaining.
Day 8: After breakfast, we will set sail to Samanlik Bay for a refreshing swim. After enjoying this delightful break in the sea, we will return to Fethiye Harbour. We will disembark in Fethiye around noon.
