This 18-39 gulet cruise is a seven-day trip only for travellers aged 18 to 39 who want to meet people of a similar age while sailing the Lycian coast. You board a premium gulet in Fethiye on a Saturday morning, spend six nights at anchor between Fethiye, Kaş and Kekova, and are back in Fethiye on the afternoon of Day 7.
The days mix swimming, paddleboarding and short walks with history: the Sunken City of Kekova, the Lycian tombs and castle at Kaleköy (Simena), the old marble streets of Kaş and the Byzantine ruins on St Nicholas Island. Turtle spotting in Karemlik Turtles Bay, Küçük Çakıl Beach in Kaş and Butterfly Valley add variety, and two evenings can end at an open-air island bar in Gökkaya Bay that is reached only by boat.
The crew prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner on board as listed in the programme, plus afternoon tea and fruit. Cabins have their own bathroom and air conditioning, and the group is 12 to 20 guests. Paragliding over Ölüdeniz and scuba diving in Kaş can be added if you book them before the cruise.

Check in at Fethiye harbour at 10:00, meet the crew and the group you will sail with for the week, then head out towards Butterfly Valley, where more than 130 species of butterflies have been recorded at different times of the year. The gulet continues to the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz, a major paragliding spot. Tandem flights with a professional pilot start on Babadağ at over 2,000 metres; there are almost 20,000 jumps a year, and the flight needs to be booked before the cruise. In the evening you anchor at St Nicholas Island for a short walk among the amphitheatre, chapels and stone houses as the sun goes down. Meals: lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, dinner.
An early sail brings you to Aquarium Bay (Fırnaz Bay) for breakfast, swimming and snorkelling. You then continue to Kaş, a town with Lycian, Roman and Ottoman history and marble streets more than 2,400 years old. The boat anchors in a cove near the harbour for lunch, after which you go ashore for two to three hours of shops and handmade jewellery. Divers who have pre-booked can explore World War II ship and plane wrecks or ancient remains under water; there are over 80 sites, so the exact site depends on conditions. In the evening the gulet sails along the Kekova coast to Kocakarı Bay. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, dinner.
After breakfast you sail over the Sunken City of Kekova, a 2,400-year-old Lycian city that sank after earthquakes between the 2nd and 8th centuries. At Kaleköy you can see the Lycian tombs up close, swim near the ancient remains and walk through the village of fewer than 50 houses to Simena Castle for views over the islands; small house cafés sell homemade ice cream. You then anchor in Gökkaya Bay for swimming, snorkelling and water sports from local providers, followed by dinner. Later a shuttle boat takes you to an open-air island bar among the trees to meet guests from other gulets. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, dinner.
A slow morning and breakfast, then the gulet reaches Çayağzı harbour near Demre at about 10:00, where some guests leave; new guests join at around 13:00 for the return trip. In between you cruise to Karemlik Turtles Bay to see Caretta turtles and snorkel, and you may visit the harbour market or have a Turkish tea in a local café. In the afternoon you return towards Kaleköy via the Sunken City and can paddleboard to the Lycian tombs. The island bar is an option again tonight. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, dinner.
After breakfast and a morning swim you return to Kaş. Walk to the Antiphellos theatre near the harbour and to Küçük Çakıl Beach, a narrow cove below the cliffs a few steps from town. Diving is offered again around Kaş and must be booked before the cruise. You end the day at Aquarium Bay (Fırnaz Bay) with a swim and dinner on board. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, dinner.
The gulet sails north early, and you wake up in Butterfly Valley, a bay reached only by boat or a steep path. After breakfast there is time to swim or relax on deck before continuing towards Ölüdeniz, where you have another chance to paraglide; pre-booking is recommended, but you can also tell the captain on the day. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, dinner.
After breakfast the boat leaves St Nicholas Island for Tarzan Bay, where you swim and have lunch on board. In the afternoon you sail on to Fethiye harbour; check-out is at about 13:00–14:00. Meals: breakfast, lunch.
