20-39s CRUISES

DAY ONE
Fethiye to Cleopatra’s Baths

We board our gulet around 10.30am for welcome speeches and an introduction to Captain and crew. After departing Fethiye harbour around 11.00am, we cruise to the famous 12-island archipelago just outside of Fethiye. We will make a stop at Flat Island for our first dip into the Aegean sea and lunch before heading over to our anchoring spot for the evening – Cleopatra’s Baths, an ancient hamam dating back to Roman times. Here we have the chance to swim through the ruins before dinner is served on board.

Important: Many of our guests stay the night in Fethiye before the cruise (highly recommended, as Fethiye has a great choice of bars and restaurants. If you need accommodation in Fethiye for a night or 2 before your sail then you can book a hotel or guesthouse on BOOKING.COM

This excursion will take us into the lake lands of the Dalyan area, past ancient rock tombs, for a visit to the mud baths and the famous Turtle Beach. You can either choose to take this excursion (extra payment of 60 Euros applies) or stay on board to swim and relax.

DAY THREE
Ekincik to Marmaris

This morning we head over to Paradise Bay for a swim stop before entering Marmaris Harbour. We then have the rest of the day and night to explore this popular seaside town, spending time in the bazaars or wandering the cobbled streets. Dinner will be served on board, leaving us the evening to sample the nightlife of Marmaris!

Overnight – Marmaris Harbour.

DAY FOUR
Marmaris to Bozukkale

We leave Marmaris in the morning and head into Kadirga to take refuge from the hustle and bustle of the harbour in this beautiful, isolated beach front. We can jump back into the refreshing water to reenergise after a late night out . We then cruise onto Bozukkale, where we will spend the night on board.

Overnight – Bozukkale.

DAY FIVE
Bozukkale to Datca

Today it’s time to find our land legs again as we dock in Datca harbour. We can take a bus from the harbour to Datca town if desired (about 8km), where there is an old town, ancient temples and other sites to explore. We will have time to wander around the town, pick up some bargains, sample the cafes and visit the local sites. Once back on board, we will make our way to a nearby bay such as Palamatbuku, well known for its gorgeous sea and snorkel-friendly bays to spend the evening. 

Overnight – Palamatbuku or another bay near Datca.

DAY SIX
Datca to Knidos

After breakfast, the next stop is the ancient city of Knidos. Even though it is still under excavation, there are some impressive ruins to visit and the short climb up to the top of the hill to see the city’s two ancient, back-to-back harbours from above is well worth it! We will have plenty of time to swim in the luscious water and to explore this peninsula.

Overnight – Knidos.

DAY SEVEN
Knidos to Bodrum

This morning is all about making our way over to the jewel of Bodrum – we will have a last swim stop at Black Island before arriving at the city’s harbour. Bodrum is a stunning town with white-washed Mediterranean houses and cobblestone streets. There is some of the best high-end shopping in Turkey here, as well as countless jewellery, art-and-crafts shops and the famous castle. Lunch is served on board before we dock into Bodrum for check out around 3pm with time to say goodbye to your onboard family.

You have several choices of things to do after your cruise: stay in Bodrum for a night or two, take a flight out of Bodrum airport (airport is around 50mins away by shuttle transfer) or take a ferry across to one of the Greek islands such as Kos. Of course, this is also the perfect opportunity to celebrate the sail experience with a night out! Party the night away here with your shipmates and make some more memories.
