Kapi Bay - Cleopatra Baths - Gechek(18 miles)

Cleopatra baths are located in a beautiful bay with turquoise water and surrounded from all sides by pine forests. They say that many years ago a hot spring was discovered here, which had healing properties and Queen Cleopatra herself bathed here several times. According to legend, a bath in these waters can make you younger. We will stay overnight in the aristocratic town of Gecek, where we will have a promenade on the very atmospheric embankment street, so called Turkish Riviera.

DAY 3

Gechek - Gemiler Island

Gechek - Gemiler Island (30 miles)

Gemiler Island, also known as Saint Nicholas Island, is a very popular destination for yachtsmen. Gemiler Adası means 'island of boats' in Turkish, because according to archeologists, St. Nicholas, the protector of sailors, was buried there. There are ruins of 5 churches and about 40 buildings on the island, and a tunnel that connects the two largest churches on the island. Just as in ancient times, we will drop anchor under the walls of this antique city and go on a fascinating excursion around the island.

Gemiler Island - Ekinchik

Gemiler Island - Ekinchik (15 miles)

After visiting the island of St. Nicholas and having received his support and blessing our route will follow the open sea towards Ekinchik. As a rule we pass this route without a motor, only using the sails. We learn to work with the winches, standing rigging, tying nautical knots and setting the sails. The parking place for the evening is Ekinchik Bay with a big sandy beach and a romantic beach restaurant.

DAY 5

Dalyan

Dalyan

Today we leave our boat moored near the pier and transfer to Dalyan by boat for an excursion. Our first stop will be to visit the ancient city of Kaunos, where we can see the old amphitheatre and climb the temple mountain, from where we have a spectacular view over the river valley and the town of Dalyan itself. Further on, our journey will continue through the reed beds upriver past the Lycian tombs and end at the Dalian town promenade. There are some thermal springs with medicinal mud, which we will definitely visit.

DAY 6

Ekinchik - Tomb Bay

Ekinchik - Tomb Bay (18 miles)

Tomb Bay is one of the most beautiful spots of Fethiye Bay. The bay is surrounded on all sides by pine forest, perfectly sheltered from the wind and waves. It is ideal for swimming and relaxing. Everyone has something to do here. Some may start fishing with a fishing pole right from the boat, some may put on a mask and flippers and go to discover the underwater world, and some may take a motorboat and drive ashore to explore ancient tombs carved out in the coastal cliffs.

DAY 7

Tomb Bay – Fethiye

Tomb Bay – Fethiye (13 miles)

The return journey to home marina in Fethiye takes us along a number of picturesque islands with stops for swimming and photos.

  • Fethiye city
  • Island of St. Nicholas
