About this tour

This Bodrum to Fethiye gulet cruise is for travellers who want to sail one way along the coast in comfort: you book a cabin on a high-luxury gulet, board in Bodrum and leave the boat in Fethiye after 8 days and 7 nights. The route runs past Karaada, Knidos and Datça, then east via Bozukkale and Ekincik Bay to Cleopatra’s Bath and the islands of the Gulf of Göcek.

Master and Superior cabins have air conditioning around the clock where port rules allow, daily housekeeping and en-suite bathrooms. A full-board luxury menu, soft drinks and water, towels, beach towels, bathrobes and a welcome cocktail with champagne are part of the package.

Ancient sites and swimming share the week: the sundial and theatres of Knidos, the old town of Datça, Greek ruins at Bozukkale, then long swim days at Ekincik, Bedri Rahmi Bay and the 12 Islands, where dolphins and sea turtles are sometimes seen.
