Itinerary

Day-by-day program

Day 1. Fethiye

We begin our yacht journey on the south-west of the Turkish Riviera, in the city of Fethiye. The marina is located in a natural bay with crystal-blue water. One of the beaches is in a calm lagoon, perfect for a first swim.

Day 2. Göçek

An area with numerous bays, rocky shores, pine forests and wild beaches. In some coves you can find ancient ruins preserved right in the water — a wonderful place for snorkelling and unique photos.

Day 3. Ekincik

A cosy bay with a seafood restaurant that serves food quickly at pleasant prices. We'll stop here for the night and enjoy the silence.

Day 4. Marmaris

On the fourth day of our journey we arrive at the "Turquoise Coast" — Marmaris. This is a lively resort in a large bay surrounded by mountains. At the port entrance stands an old fortress that once defended the city from attacks. We recommend dinner at the DEDE fish restaurant. And also — a jeep safari over mountain rivers and rough terrain. Wind and thrills — guaranteed.

Day 5. Çiftlik

Çiftlik is a quiet little town among the mountains, far from tourists. The ideal place for a reset.

Walks, fishing, snorkelling — everything for a peaceful break.

Day 6. Butterfly Valley

The world-famous Butterfly Valley. The best time to visit is at dawn. The sun fills the bay with light and the water turns emerald. Butterflies are here in March–April, but the landscape is enchanting all year round.

Day 7. Ölüdeniz

The place where you can take to the sky! Paragliding from 2,000 metres — the main attraction in Ölüdeniz. The incredible views that open up from the sky stay in the memory forever.

Day 8. Fethiye

Return to the home marina at sunset. Last evening — time for a stroll and dinner at a favourite restaurant. The next morning — transfer to the airport and returning home with new emotions, a tan and stories you'll want to tell again and again.
