Day 1: Olympos/Demre to Gokkaya Bay
We will pickup from Olympos at 10:30 and from Demre at 12:30 after that we will head to Demre Harbour. Our first sight for the day is the Sunken City, an ancient town that dates back 2000 years to the Lycian period and was destroyed by an earthquake in the 2nd century. We will cruise over this protected World Heritage site friendly and slowly to enjoy the view; however, as this is a protected sight, no swimming, diving, or snorkelling is allowed. Following this, we will anchor down near Kekova and the island of Kalekoy to visit Simena Castle. Guests can walk through the town's cobbled streets or head into the castle to witness some fantastic views of the Kekova region.
Day 2: Gokkaya Bay to Aquarium Bay / Kas
Today you will cruise onto Kas, a small fishing village with some of the best shopping in the area and incredibly unique jewellery pieces. You will be given time to explore the local shops, including lots of handmade jewellery, clothes stores, and some local cafes for a great brew of coffee. After your time in Kas, we will cruise past Kalkan and moor in Aquarium Bay for the night.
Day 3: Aquarium Bay / Kas to St Nicholas Island
This morning wake up to the vivid blue sea and find yourself in Butterfly Valley. Wake yourself up with a morning swim, have breakfast, and then take the optional hike to the waterfall. Butterfly Valley is known to be the home to over 136 different types of butterflies and moths; in the summer months, they can be challenging to spot, though, as they search for cooler climates deeper in the valley. We will moor at St Nicholas Island, where you will have time to walk through the island's ruins and enjoy the sunset. Watch for the watersport boats around this area for an afternoon of fun on the water!
Day 4: St Nicholas Island to Fethiye
Your last day on the gulet will be an excellent and lazy start. You will wake up at St Nicholas Island, where you can enjoy another morning swim. Lots of fish are in this area too, so why not throw a hand line in to see what you can add to lunch? We have breakfast before cruising around one of the bays near Fethiye for lunch and a final swim. The gulet will enter Fethiye Harbour around 1:00 - 2:00 pm after lunchtime. You will disembark the gulet and say farewell to new-found friends and your friendly crew.
