This Bodrum to Fethiye blue cruise runs one way and is for travellers who want to see a long stretch of the Aegean and Mediterranean coast in a single week: you board in Bodrum on Saturday afternoon and leave the boat in Fethiye eight days later, sailing a few hours a day between ancient sites, harbour towns and quiet bays.
Along the way you swim at Poyraz Bay, explore the ruins of Knidos, have free time in Datça, swim in the bays of Bozburun, see the 4th-century BC fortress at Bozukkale (ancient Loryma), spend an evening in Marmaris and anchor at Batık Hamam Bay among the remains of a Roman bath. From Ekincik you can join an unguided trip on the Dalyan River to the Lycian rock tombs, Kaunos and İztuzu Beach.
The cruise runs on a luxury class gulet with air-conditioned double, triple and single cabins, each with a private bathroom. Some evenings are spent in harbour towns (Bodrum, Datça, Marmaris, Fethiye) and others at anchor in bays.
