The Marmaris to Fethiye blue cruise is a four-day, three-night gulet trip for travellers who want an easy pace, swim stops and a chance to see Dalyan along the way. You board in Marmaris harbour in the late afternoon of a Saturday and sail east along the coast to Fethiye, where the cruise ends at 16:00 on Day 4.
The first evening gives you time to look around Marmaris, with its large harbour, bars and restaurants, before dinner on board. On Day 2 the gulet heads for the Ekincik Gulf. You can stay on board to swim and sunbathe, or join an optional trip to Dalyan and Kaunos: a riverboat ride past rock-cut tombs, a mud bath and sulphur pool, and time on Turtle Beach, where loggerhead turtles still nest. Day 3 starts early to cross the capes before the wind picks up, with breakfast and a swim at the Sunken Bath, also called Cleopatra’s Bay, a stop at Tersane Island and a night at Kızıl Island. On the last day you can join an optional jeep safari or stay with the boat for lunch and a swim in Samanlık Bay.
The cruise runs on a premium-class gulet with a group of 12 to 20 guests. Cabins have a private bathroom and air conditioning, and many guests also enjoy sleeping on deck under the stars. There are no shared cabins, so solo travellers pay a single supplement, and children under 10 cannot join.

Check-in on the gulet starts at around 16:30 in Marmaris harbour. Meet your fellow passengers and use the time to see the town, which has a large marina and plenty of bars, clubs and restaurants. Dinner is served on board. If everyone has arrived by 18:00, the boat sails to the nearest bay for dinner; otherwise it stays in Marmaris port for the night. Guests arriving after 21:30 receive a simple meal box. Meals: dinner.
After breakfast the gulet sets off along the coast towards the Ekincik Gulf. Relax, swim and sunbathe on board, or join the optional trip to Dalyan and Kaunos: take a riverboat to see the tombs carved high in the rock face, explore the ancient city, try a mud bath and swim in a sulphur pool, and spend time on Turtle Beach, where loggerhead turtles still lay their eggs. Lunch on the trip is at a riverside restaurant. Everyone meets back on the gulet in Ekincik Bay for dinner and a night in this small cove. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, fruit and dinner.
The boat leaves early to cross the often rough waters off the Dişibilmez and Kurtoğlu capes and reach the Gulf of Göcek.

The gulet sails to Fethiye harbour early in the morning, where you can join an optional jeep safari.
