This Olympos to Ölüdeniz blue cruise is made for travellers with limited time who still want to sail the Lycian coast for a few days. You are collected in Olympos on a Tuesday morning, board a shared gulet at Demre’s Çayağzı harbour and spend three days and two nights heading west, leaving the boat at Ölüdeniz beach after lunch on Day 3.
The first afternoon is all about Kekova: the gulet cruises alongside the submerged walls of the Sunken City, then anchors near Kaleköy so you can walk up to Simena Castle for the view, before mooring for the night in Gökkaya Bay, a known turtle breeding ground. Day 2 gives you time in Kaş, with its cobbled lanes, jewellery shops, cafés and an ancient theatre just west of the centre, followed by a night in Aquarium Bay past Kalkan. On the last morning you wake beneath the Babadağ cliffs at Butterfly Valley, then have lunch at Ölüdeniz, where paragliders land on the beach.
You sail on a premium-class gulet with a mixed-age group of 12 to 20 guests. Cabins are double, twin, triple or shared, all with a private bathroom and air conditioning, and solo travellers can share or pay extra for a private cabin. Meals are prepared on board, with afternoon tea and fruit between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Optional extras include scuba diving in Kaş and tandem paragliding at Ölüdeniz.

Our ground team picks you up at around 10:30 from the meeting point at Bayram's Tree Houses in Olympos; guests staying elsewhere, including Çıralı, can be collected from the Olympos junction. The bus then stops at Demre bus station at noon for any guests joining there and continues to Demre Çayağzı harbour. After a briefing on board, lunch is served as you leave port. The gulet cruises parallel to the Sunken City, a Lycian town about 2,000 years old that was split by an earthquake; swimming, diving and snorkelling are not allowed there. You then anchor near Kaleköy and can walk up to the castle for a view over the bay, before mooring for the night in Gökkaya Bay. Meals: lunch, afternoon tea, fruit and dinner.
The gulet sails to Kaş, a harbour town built on ancient ruins, known for its jewellery and its cobbled streets lined with shops and cafés. There is plenty of time to explore and to walk west of the centre to the ancient theatre. Guests who have booked a scuba dive are taken out to the diving boat; depending on experience, dives may visit marine life areas, canyons, caves or a wreck. Afterwards the boat cruises past Kalkan and anchors in Aquarium Bay for the night, where snorkelling before sunset is a good way to see the marine life. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, fruit and dinner.
Wake up below the Babadağ mountains as the gulet moors at Butterfly Valley. After breakfast you have free time to swim, relax or walk up to the waterfall and look for the valley's butterflies and moths. The next stop is Ölüdeniz, where lunch is served. If you have chosen to paraglide, you are taken ashore for a tandem flight from Babadağ, about 2,000 metres above sea level, over the beach and the Blue Lagoon. The cruise ends at Ölüdeniz beach, where you are taken ashore to continue your journey. Meals: breakfast and lunch.
