Transfer from Dalaman airport to the blue and green paradise of Göcek’s natural harbor. Embark to the yacht, where you will have welcome cocktail, meet the captan and the crew. Cruise to Yassica isles, which arouse interest because of their mysterious appearance. Islands are traditionally favored by yachts. Here we will stay overnight.
After breakfast we’ll cruise to Grundig Cove. After lunch we will cruise to Fethiye and have breaks for swimming in some small coves. The resort town of Fethiye has an important marina and overlooks a beautiful bay strewn with islands. Above the town, called Telmessos in antiquity, numerous Lycian rock tombs, reproducing the facades of ancient buildings, were cut into the cliff face.
Ölüdeniz is located two miles from Gemiler Island, where the calm, crystal-clear water is ideal for swimming and other water sports. The lagoon at Ölüdeniz (which means Dead Sea) in 67 BC harbored the Roman galleys of Pompey the Great, which went there to eject Lycian pirates from Gemiler. Ölüdeniz is the most photographed and picture-postcarded of any beach in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Then we will cruise to Gemiler Adasi (Ships Island). Once home to Lycian and Byzantine pirates, the remains of an entire village are there to be explored, from pirate-ship parking to a covered passage to temple and basilica. It is a wonderful place to swim and snorkel, and an equally wonderful place to take in a hilltop sunset with a bottle of wine. After visiting Gemiler Adasi your yacht will take you to the mainland just the opposite of the island. With a minibus you will go to Kayakoy, a Greek “ghost town”. This town with about 600 houses was once inhibited by Anatolian Greeks.
Today we will sail across Fethiye Bay in Marmaris direction to Delikli Island. The riverboats here will take you from your gulet and ride you to Caunos into the Dalyan delta. The delta with a long, golden sandy beach at its mouth is a nature-conservation area and a refuge for sea-turtles (caretta caretta) and blue crabs. At a bend of the river, high on the cliff face above the fascinating ancient harbor-city of Caunos, magnificent tombs were carved into the rock. In the afternoon we will cruise to the inlet of Ekincik, a tranquil paradise of lush green forests where you can lose all sense of time. Among the most beautiful spots along the coast this is a favorite stop for seafarers. Here we will stay overnight.
Our next stop will be Aga limani. From here with a 30-minute hike takes you to ancient Lydea. Off-the-beaten path and rarely visited, Lydea features sarcophagi, temple walls, cisterns, Corinthian columns and inscribed tablets from the Roman and Byzantine periods. We will cruise to Batik Hamam (Sunken bath), the ruins of an acient Roman bath, where Cleopatra is said to have bathed.
Today we will cruise to Sarsala cove, one of the nicest coves in Gocek gulf. After lunch if the wind is available we will sail in this area. Our next stop will be Domuz Island. Here we will stay overnight.
The largest island in the Gulf of Fethiye is the Island of Tersane (Dockyard). A deep channel, 100 wide, provides entry to the inlet of Tersane. Tersane Island which was formerly called Telandria was inhabited in the past, but nowadays you can see only the remains of the ruined houses of the island. In the afternoon we will cruise to Bedri Rahmi cove – one of the most important inlets of the gulf. Bedri Rahmi Eyüpoğlu who was the one of the first blue voyagers, painted a fish on a rock behind a fountain here, in the year 1973. Thereafter the inlet has been called by his name. You can see the painted fish right behind the fountain and behind it, there is a Lycian rock tomb hidden at the back of the trees.
After breakfast we will disembark in Gocek harbor. It’s time to say “Good bye” to the captan and the crew. Transfer from Gocek to Dalaman airport.
