8 Days 7 Nights
Luxury Cabin Cruise
15 people
English
This luxury gulet cruise from Fethiye is for couples and travellers who want a week on the Lycian coast with hotel-style comfort: you book your own cabin and spend 8 days and 7 nights on a round trip that starts and ends in Fethiye harbour. The route takes in Butterfly Valley, Ölüdeniz, St Nicholas Island, Kaş, Simena, the Sunken City of Kekova and Kalkan before returning to Fethiye.
You sail on a high-luxury class gulet with Master and Superior cabins, air conditioning around the clock (port rules permitting), daily housekeeping and en-suite bathrooms. A full-board luxury menu, soft drinks and water are included, and towels, beach towels and bathrobes are provided.
Days alternate between swim stops in quiet bays and time ashore: an evening in Kaş harbour, a walk up to Simena Castle, the stone houses and rooftop restaurants of Kalkan. Some nights are spent at anchor, some in harbour, so there is room for both quiet evenings and a look at town life.

Boarding is around 16:00 in Fethiye. The crew welcomes you, you settle into your cabin and get a briefing on the week. If you arrive early, there is time to see the Lycian rock tombs, browse the old bazaar or sit in a café in town. Late in the afternoon the gulet moves to a nearby bay for a swim, and you spend the first night there. Meals on board: dinner.
After breakfast the first stop is Butterfly Valley, a cove closed in by cliffs and greenery. Swim from the boat or go ashore and walk into the valley, where in summer you may see several butterfly species. Next comes Ölüdeniz Beach: swim, or climb the rocks behind the Blue Lagoon for a view over it. In the afternoon you reach St Nicholas Island with its Byzantine church ruins; explore the island or stay in the bay for sunset. Overnight here. Meals on board: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, and dinner.
The gulet sets off early while you sleep in and anchors in Yeşilköy Bay, a calm spot backed by olive trees, for breakfast and a swim. Later you sail on to Kaş, a coastal town with cobbled streets, Ottoman-era houses, jewellery shops and cafés. After dinner on board the evening is yours in town, and the night is spent in Kaş harbour. Meals on board: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, and dinner.
In the morning you sail to Simena, an ancient Lycian settlement. Go ashore and climb to Simena Castle for wide views of the coast and the remains of the old city; around the bay you will see Lycian sarcophagi, some of them partly in the water. Afterwards the gulet continues to the quiet village of Üçağız for swimming, a walk along the shore or a drink on deck, and anchors in a secluded bay nearby for the night. Meals on board: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, and dinner.
After a slow morning you cruise past the Sunken City of Kekova, a Lycian settlement that went under the sea after an earthquake in the 2nd century. You see the remains of houses beneath the surface from the deck; swimming is not allowed here because the area is protected. Swim stops follow during the day before you reach Gökkaya Bay. For a night out, Smuggler's Inn is an open-air club reachable only by boat, and the crew can help arrange the transfer; or stay on board for a quiet evening. Meals on board: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, and dinner.
After breakfast you head to Aquarium Bay, whose clear water is ideal for snorkelling. Later the gulet reaches Kalkan, a former Greek fishing village of stone houses, narrow streets, boutique hotels and rooftop restaurants. Explore the town and its small shops or relax in a seaside café. If you wish, optional trips to Patara Beach or the ancient cities of Xanthos and Letoon can be organised. After dinner on board you anchor in a quiet bay outside Kalkan. Meals on board: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, and dinner.
The crew sails early, and you wake up in Çamlıburun Bay among pine-covered hills. Breakfast is served here and the day is for swimming, sunbathing and relaxing. In the late afternoon the gulet heads back to Fethiye harbour, where you spend the last night on board. Meals on board: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with fruit, and dinner.
After breakfast you disembark in Fethiye at 09:00. Meals on board: breakfast.
