Olympos - Kekova - Simena - Gokkaya Bay. Our relaxing sailing trip starts with a pick up from your hotel in Olympos - please ensure you arrive the day before your cruise starts. Pick up is at 10:00. Alternatively you can meet us at Demre Harbour at 12:00.
Once the group and crew have all gathered at the harbour, we’ll board our traditional Turkish gulet and set sail towards Turtle Beach, where you’ll have the chance to swim alongside and observe five of the eight turtle species native to the Mediterranean in their natural environment. The crystal-clear waters offer incredible visibility of these gentle creatures. Make sure to keep a respectable distance from the turtles, to avoid disturbing them.
In the afternoon, we’ll cruise over the Sunken City of Kekova, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As we glide above the ancient ruins, you'll be able to catch glimpses of the city lost to an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. From here, we’ll continue to Simena Castle, where you can explore the historic fortress and take in stunning views of the coastline. You will have the opportunity to enjoy homemade ice cream at Simena Castle, a delicious reward after exploring.
After wandering through the quaint fishing village at its base, we’ll head to Pirate Cave and anchor for a tranquil evening at Gokkaya Bay, known for its serene waters and scenic beauty.
Gokkaya Bay - Kas - Firnaz Bay. Today begins with a refreshing morning cruise to Kas, and we'll stop for a swim in the crystal-clear waters. Once we arrive at the charming harbour, you’ll have free time to explore Kas at your own pace. You can wander through the picturesque cobbled streets, browse local handicraft shops and souvenir stores, or simply relax at a café and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this quaint town.
Most guests choose to have lunch in Kas before returning to the gulet. In the afternoon, join our onboard Cooking Class to learn how to make traditional Turkish cheese rolls and pancakes. You’ll then enjoy the fruits of your labour with a brunch-style meal, shared together. Later, we’ll set sail towards Firnaz Bay, where we’ll anchor for a peaceful evening on the water.
Firnaz Bay - Butterfly Valley - Oludeniz - St. Nicholas Island. Today while you rest, we will begin the longest leg of our journey, sailing from Firnaz Bay to the renowned Butterfly Valley.
Upon arrival, we’ll enjoy breakfast onboard before you have the chance to take a refreshing swim or explore the valley’s trails, where you might spot some of the unique butterfly species that inhabit the area.
After visiting Butterfly Valley, we’ll cruise past the famous Oludeniz Beach, stopping near the beautiful Blue Lagoon. Here, you can dive into the clear waters for a swim or, for those seeking adventure, try paragliding from Baba Dag, one of the world’s top paragliding spots, offering stunning aerial views of the coastline, dont forget your camare to capture your vies from above.
