GEMILER ISLAND • DAY 1
Check-in on the catamaran starts at 15:00.
Before that, we’ll do the first grocery shopping together and bring everything on board.
We plan to leave the marina around 17:00.
In the evening, a short sail will take us to Gemiler Island, where we’ll anchor for the night in a cozy bay under the stars.
Later in the evening or early in the morning, we’ll explore the island’s rich history - the remains of Byzantine buildings and the ancient Monastery of Saint Nicholas.
The atmosphere of this place is especially magical at dawn, when the sea is calm and the first sunlight touches the rocks.
Gemiler Island - is one of the most mysterious places on the Fethiye coast. Once, it was a Byzantine city from the 4th–6th centuries, with five churches, stone roads, and hundreds of ancient tombs. It is believed that the relics of Saint Nicholas - the patron saint of sailors - were originally kept here before being moved elsewhere. Today, part of the island and its ancient harbors lie beneath the water. When the sea is calm, you can see the ruins of the old city right beneath the catamaran’s keel. It’s a perfect place for snorkeling among stone arches and walls, and at sunset, it offers breathtaking views of the Fethiye bay and surrounding mountains. The silence, the scent of pine trees, and the ancient ruins create a unique atmosphere - a feeling of touching history itself, where the sea has guarded its secrets for more than fifteen centuries.
OLUDENIZ • DAY 2
In the morning, we leave Gemiler Bay and head along the coast – toward turquoise waters and cliffs where the sea meets the sky.
Our first stop is Butterfly Valley – one of the most picturesque bays in Turkey. Hidden between steep cliffs up to 350 meters high lies a beach that can only be reached from the sea.
Here, rare species of butterflies live among the rocks, a small waterfall flows, and the air is filled with the scent of pine and sea. It’s a place of silence, where nature seems to speak in whispers.
By evening, we sail toward Ölüdeniz – the legendary lagoon known for its mirror-like water and sunsets that reflect the sky upon the sea. We’ll drop anchor here and spend the night under the gentle sound of waves and the light of the stars.
Butterfly Valley – one of the most stunning bays on the entire Aegean coast. A narrow sea passage leads into a hidden valley surrounded by cliffs, where time itself seems to have stopped. The valley takes its name from the hundreds of butterfly species that live here from spring to late summer. The beach is wild, and the water is crystal clear – shades of blue shift from turquoise to deep sapphire. It’s a place for those seeking silence, the breath of nature, and a sense of rebirth.
Ölüdeniz – the symbol of Turkey, a legendary lagoon with mirror-like water where the sea looks like liquid sky. Thanks to its unique geography, there are almost no waves here, and the water keeps its surreal azure color all year round. The place is famous for paragliding – dozens of wings glide above the bay, while sunsets turn into a light show reflected on the water. It’s the perfect spot for an overnight anchorage – a gentle breeze, the scent of pines, shimmering lights of seaside cafés, and a sky filled with stars.
TERSANE ISLAND • DAY 3
In the morning, we’ll leave the turquoise waters of Ölüdeniz and head toward Mavi Mağara – the famous Blue Cave hidden in the coastal cliffs.
Sunlight streaming through the narrow entrance paints the water in deep shades of blue, creating an effect of underwater radiance. After a relaxing swim, we’ll continue our journey to Tersane Island – the largest island in the Göcek Bay.
Its shores hold traces of ancient Lycia and the ruins of an old Ottoman shipyard where ships were once built. In the evening, we’ll moor near the cozy Tersane restaurant surrounded by pine trees.
Dinner under the starry sky and the gentle rocking of the yacht on the water will be the perfect ending to a day in the very heart of the “soul of the sea.”
Mavi Mağara (Blue Cave) – a hidden treasure of the coast, where the sea seems to glow from within. Inside reigns a special sense of peace: the sounds of the waves echo softly off the walls, and the light refracting underwater turns the entire space into an aquarium of pure azure. It’s a perfect spot for swimming and underwater photography – a rare chance to feel like a part of nature itself.
Tersane Adası – an island where history merges with the sea. Once a bustling Ottoman shipyard, it now rests in quiet beauty, with stone ruins nestled among olive and pine trees. The water near the shore is crystal clear, and the coves are well-sheltered from the wind – an ideal place for anchoring and spending the night on the yacht. In the evening, you can enjoy dinner at the Tersane restaurant: the aroma of fresh seafood, a gentle breeze, and a sky full of stars create that timeless atmosphere of peace and harmony that draws people back to the sea again and again.
GOBUN BAY • DAY 4
In the morning, we’ll set course for Akvaryum Bay – a cove with crystal-clear water located between Tersane and Domuz Islands. It’s a perfect spot for swimming and snorkeling: you can see stones, starfish, and schools of small fish gliding right beneath the boat. The air is filled with the scent of pine and salt, and a gentle breeze brings freshness and a sense of complete tranquility. The shades of turquoise truly justify its name – “Aquarium.”
After a morning swim and lunch on board, we’ll continue along the green hills of Göcek Bay and, by evening, drop anchor in Göbün Bay. There we’ll enjoy dinner in a cozy seaside restaurant and spend the night under the starry sky, in perfect harmony with the sea.
Akvaryum Bay – one of the clearest bays in the entire Göcek area. Protected by the islands of Tersane and Domuz, the water here is always calm and remarkably transparent. Beneath the surface, you can see stones, starfish, and schools of small fish – it feels as if you’re swimming inside a giant aquarium. With its soft sandy bottom and shelter from the wind, the bay is perfect for swimming and a short daytime yacht stop.
Göbün Bay – a peaceful cove surrounded by olive groves and cliffs, where the air is filled with the scent of pine. On the shore lie the ruins of an ancient Lycian settlement and one of the most atmospheric restaurants in the bay, accessible directly from the yacht. The evening here is especially beautiful: the water reflects the sunset, stars appear above the masts, and a gentle breeze carries the scent of the sea – the perfect place for dinner and an overnight stay under the starry sky.
BEDRI RAHMI BAY • DAY 5
In the morning, we’ll leave the cozy Göbün Bay and head toward the picturesque Cleopatra Bath Bay (Hammam Bay) – a place surrounded by legends. According to ancient tales, this is where Cleopatra herself bathed in thermal springs, and the ruins of the old Roman bath are still visible beneath the crystal-clear water. We’ll stop here for swimming and snorkeling, enjoying the calmness of the bay and the fresh scent of the pine-covered hills.
After lunch on board, we’ll continue our journey to Bedri Rahmi Bay – one of the most famous and inspiring coves in the Göcek area. We’ll moor near the Miori restaurant to spend the evening in a cozy atmosphere, enjoying dinner by the water and watching the sunset reflect across the sea.
Cleopatra Bath Bay (Hammam Bay) – a unique place where history merges with nature. Beneath the surface of the water lie the ruins of ancient baths said to have been built for Cleopatra herself. The warm springs and deep turquoise water create a magical play of light – swimming here feels like traveling through time. The bay is surrounded by pine-covered hills and is considered one of the most photogenic spots in the entire Göcek region.
Bedri Rahmi Bay – named after the famous Turkish painter and poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, who in the 1970s left a fish-shaped mural on the rock – a symbol of inspiration and creativity. Here you can see ancient Lycian tombs, take a walk along the shore, and in the evening enjoy dinner at Miori restaurant, where the aromas of fresh dishes mingle with the sea breeze and the sounds of nature. It’s a place where art, history, and the sea come together in perfect harmony.
GÖCEK • DAY 6
In the morning, we’ll leave Bedri Rahmi Bay and head toward the Yassıca Islands – one of the most beautiful natural areas in the Göcek Bay. We’ll drop anchor near the sandy spit between the islands, where the sea shimmers in shades of azure and turquoise. Here, you can swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the morning silence under the gentle sun.
After some rest and a light lunch on board, we’ll continue to the town of Göcek – the heart of the region’s yachting life. There, we’ll take an evening walk along the marina, have dinner at one of the seaside restaurants, and spend the night in the harbor under the soft glow of yacht lights. It’s a cozy stop before the final leg of our journey the next day.
Yassıca Islands (Yassıca Adaları) – a picturesque group of small islands in the heart of Göcek Bay. They are known for their warm, crystal-clear waters and the sandy spit connecting two of the islands, where you can stand knee-deep in the sea watching the horizon blur between sky and water. It’s an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and photos – a true natural aquarium.
Göcek – an atmospheric marina town known for its quiet luxury and maritime charm. Cozy streets, elegant restaurants, and views of dozens of white yachts gently swaying in the sunset light create a special ambiance. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a serene seaside evening before the final day of the journey.
FETHIYE • DAY 7
In the morning, we’ll leave Göcek Marina and make a short sail to Göcek Adası, an island located right at the entrance to the bay.

It’s the perfect place to savor the final moments of our sea journey and feel the lightness of freedom on the water.
After some rest, we’ll set course for Fethiye – the final point of our route. The passage will take about an hour, offering beautiful views of the coastline and a gentle morning breeze. Arriving back at the home marina will be a harmonious conclusion to a week filled with sea, sun, and inspiration.
Göcek Adası – the island guarding the entrance to Göcek Bay. Its coves are known for calm waters and soft sandy bottoms, surrounded by pine-covered slopes and rocky cliffs. The northern side of the island is perfect for anchoring and swimming – the water is crystal clear, the atmosphere peaceful, and the view of Göcek is stunning. It’s a place made to pause for a moment and thank the sea for the journey.
Fethiye – a cozy coastal town with the soul of an old harbor. A walk along the promenade, the aroma of coffee, white yachts, and mountain views create a sense of serenity and gentle nostalgia.
