This Fethiye to Bodrum gulet cruise is for travellers who like to see a lot of coast in one week: you book a cabin on a high-luxury gulet and sail one way for 8 days and 7 nights, boarding in Fethiye and leaving the boat in Bodrum. The route crosses from the Lycian coast to the Carian peninsulas, with stops at Ekincik and Dalyan, Bozukkale, Selimiye, Datça and Knidos.
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, water, towels, beach towels, bathrobes and a welcome cocktail with champagne are included.
Along the way you snorkel around sunken Roman baths, take a riverboat through the reed channels of the Dalyan Delta, walk up to the Rhodian fort at ancient Loryma and explore the two harbours of Knidos, before a final evening in Bodrum harbour.
