Itinerary

Day 1

When all the members have arrived on board the captain will offer you a welcome cocktail and give some information about the cruise. The first night we'll stay in Marmaris harbour so that you will have ample time to get acquintained with this friendly little town and maybe participate in its night life.

Day 2

After breakfast we'll depart on a southerly cruise for Kadirga Bay where you may enjoy yourself with bathing and windsurfing while the crew prepare lunch. Later in the day we set sail for Semihce Bay, our anchorage for the night.

Day 3

In the morning a small river boat will come and fetch us for an excursion into delta of Dalyan river. First we will be taken to the ruins of ancient Caunos and then we will go upriver to the sulphur mud baths which are great fun. On our return into the delta, we may spend some time on the extensive sandy beaches of Dalyan and bathe in the shallows there before the boat take us back to our yacht (extra pp 30.US$). On the beaches of Dalyan no visitors are permitted after nightfall because these beaches are one of the last breeding grounds of the Mediterranean Sea Turtle.

Day 4

We are going to pull anchor very early in the morning so that we may catch the strong wind which is usually blowing off Dalaman beach in the first hours of the day. We will have a simple sandwich breakfast when all sail have been set. There will be a lunch stop in Kuyruk Bay and then we will sail on to Gemiler Island. That's an island to the taste of any explorers amongst you. It is covered with ruins some of them Byzantinic, some of them much older, but history knows nothing about the people who had lived there.

Day 5

Today's destination is the little harbour of Kalkan where we will reach at some time in the afternoon. There we will have the chance to rent a minibus which will take us to Xanthos once the most important town in Celycia, and then to the ancient holly place Letoon, and last of all to Patara a Lycian harbour town half buried under huge sand dunes.

Day 6

Today we will set course for Kekova with its wealth of beautiful bays and islands many of them with traces of constant inhabitation for more than 2000 years. Through the clear water you can recognise ancient ruins at the bottom of the sea or you can feast your eyes on the impressive castle which Lycians have built, Romans have enlarged, and Seljuks have restored. For the night we will anchor at Gokkaya, a little bay on the eastern tip Kekova Island.

Day 7

In the morning we will pull anchor for an excursion to ancient Myra with its Lycian rock tombs and its great Roman theatre and to the church of St. Nicolaus in Demre. Then a minibus will take us to beautiful Arycanda, a Lycian town built on seven terraces high up in the mountains. On our way down, we will stop by a fish farm and purchase fresh mountain trout for the dinner.

Day 8

This day is mainly dedicated to swimming, snorkelling and windsurfing in the quiet bays of Kekova. In the afternoon we will go on to Kas, a quiet little Mediterranean town. There we will stay for the night and explore the many tiny souvenir shops and nice little bars with live music.

Day 9

Today we are going to spend more time than usual under way at sea because we have to cover a distance of 60 SM to our destination the famous lagoon Ölüdeniz with its turquoise water and snow-white beach. For the night we will drop anchor in one of the nearby coves and have a barbecue on the beach.

Day 10

After breakfast we will set course for Fethiye Bay. In the evening we will make it fast to the marina of Fethiye. The town is a lively touristic center with many shops and open air restaurants bordering the streets. Of course there is also a disco. The Lycian graves in the rock wall at back of the town, amongst them the tomb of Prince Amyntas constitute a striking contrast to the modern architecture of today's Fethiye.

Day 11

In the morning we will depart from Fethiye for the Yassica Island in the western part of the bay where we will spend some time swimming and windsurfing. For the night we will anchor in Tersane Island. Many centuries ago the people who lived in this region, used to build their wooden ships here. Some ruins of the old shipyard are still to be seen.

Day 12

There is such a wealth of beautiful little bays many of them with the forest coming down to the edge of the water that is not easy to choose among them. We will simply unfurl the sails and leave the decision to the wind.

Day 13

Our last stop within Fethiye bay is Disibilmez. That's a paradise for snorkelling fans. People who are fond of hiking are attracted by Agalimani and the hilly forested country surrounding it.

Day 14

On our way to Marmaris we will stop behind Nimara Island for lunch. There we will put in some more hours of swimming and snorkelling before we'll have to pull up anchor for Marmaris in time to arrive there by the sun set.

Day 15

Our last breakfast on board. Then it is time to say goodbye until we meet again some other time for another cruise.
