GEMILER ISLAND • DAY 1
The first day is dedicated to boarding the catamaran, with check-in starting at 15:00. Before that, we will make our first grocery stop together and bring everything on board.
Departure from the marina is planned for around 17:00. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a short sail to Gemiler Island and moor for the night in a cozy bay under the stars.
In the evening or early morning, we’ll have the opportunity to visit an island rich in history, home to preserved Byzantine ruins and the ancient Monastery of Saint Nicholas. The atmosphere of this place is especially powerful at dawn, when the sea is still calm and the sun just begins to touch the cliffs.
Gemiler island is one of the most mysterious places along the Fethiye coast.
In the past, a Byzantine city from the 4th–6th centuries stood here, 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 transferred from here in ancient times.
Today, part of the island and its ancient harbors lie beneath the water, and in calm seas you can see the ruins of the old city directly below the catamaran’s keel. It is an ideal spot for snorkeling among stone arches and walls, and at sunset it offers breathtaking views of the bay and the mountains of Fethiye.
Silence, the scent of pine trees, and ancient ruins create a unique atmosphere - a feeling of touching history, where the sea has kept its secrets for over 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 will be Butterfly Valley, one of the most picturesque bays in Turkey. Hidden between steep cliffs rising up to 350 meters, this beach is accessible only from the sea. Rare species of butterflies live here, a waterfall murmurs in the background, and the air is filled with the scent of pine trees and the sea. It is a place of silence, where nature seems to speak in a whisper.
By evening, we sail toward Ölüdeniz - the legendary lagoon known for its mirror-like waters and sunsets that reflect the sky in the sea. Here, we will drop anchor and spend the night to the gentle sound of waves and the glow of the stars.
🦋 Butterfly Valley - One of the most picturesque bays along the entire Aegean coast. A narrow entrance from the sea leads into a hidden valley surrounded by cliffs, where nature seems to have stopped time. The valley takes its name from the hundreds of butterfly species that inhabit the area from spring through late summer. The beach is wild, and the water is crystal clear, shifting in shades from turquoise to deep sapphire. This is a place for those who seek silence, the breath of nature, and a sense of rebirth.
🌅 Ölüdeniz - A symbol of Turkey, this legendary lagoon with mirror-like water makes the sea look like liquid sky. Thanks to its unique geography, there are almost no waves here, and the water maintains an unreal shade of azure all year round. The area is famous for paragliding — dozens of wings glide above the bay, and the sunsets feel like a theater of light reflected in the water. It is an ideal spot for an overnight anchorage — a gentle breeze, the scent of pine trees, shimmering lights from seaside cafés, and a sky filled with stars.
TERSANE ISLAND • Day 3
In the morning, we leave the azure waters of Ölüdeniz and head toward Mavi Mağara — the famous Blue Cave hidden within the coastal cliffs. Sunlight passing through the narrow entrance paints the water in deep shades of blue, creating the feeling of an underwater glow.
After some time to relax, we continue on to Tersane Island — the largest island in the Göcek Bay. Its shores preserve traces of ancient Lycia and the ruins of an old Ottoman shipyard where ships were once built. In the evening, we moor near the cozy Tersane restaurant, nestled among pine trees.
Dinner under the star-filled sky and the gentle rocking of the yacht on the water will be the perfect ending to the day in the 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, a unique sense of calm prevails: the sounds of nature echo off the walls, and light refracting underwater turns the space into an aquarium of pure azure. This place is perfect for swimming and underwater photography — a rare opportunity to feel like part of nature itself.
⚓ Tersane Adası - An island where history has merged with the sea. Once home to a bustling Ottoman shipyard, today stone ruins rest among olive trees and pines, overgrown with grass. The waters along the shore are crystal clear, and the bays are sheltered from the wind — an ideal place for mooring and spending the night on a yacht. In the evening, you can enjoy dinner at the Tersane restaurant: the aromas of fresh seafood, a gentle breeze, and a star-filled sky create that very atmosphere of silence and harmony that draws people back to the sea again and again.
GOBUN BAY • Day 4
In the morning, we head to Akvaryum Bay - a bay with crystal-clear water located between Tersane and Domuz islands. It’s an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling, where you can see stones, sea stars, and schools of small fish swimming right beneath the boat. The air is filled with the scent of pine trees and salt, while a light breeze brings freshness and a sense of absolute calm. The shades of turquoise truly live up to its name - “Aquarium.”
After a relaxed morning and lunch on board, we continue sailing along the green hills of Göcek Bay and by evening drop anchor in Göbün Bay. Here, we’ll enjoy dinner at a cozy waterfront restaurant and spend the night under a star-filled sky, in complete harmony with the sea.
🌊 Akvaryum Bay - One of the clearest bays in the entire Göcek Bay. Sheltered by Tersane and Domuz islands, the water here is always calm and exceptionally clear. Beneath the surface, you can see stones, sea stars, and schools of small fish - it feels like swimming in a giant aquarium. Thanks to its soft sandy bottom and protection from the wind, the bay is ideal for swimming and short daytime yacht stops.
⚓ Göbün Bay - A quiet bay surrounded by olive groves and cliffs, where the air is filled with the scent of pine trees. 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. Evenings here are especially beautiful: the water reflects the sunset, stars light up above the masts, and a gentle breeze carries the scent of the sea - an ideal place for dinner and an overnight stay under the stars.
BEDRI RAHMI BAY • Day 5
In the morning, we leave the cozy Göbün Bay and head toward the picturesque Cleopatra Bath Bay (Hammam Bay), a place wrapped in legend. According to tradition, Cleopatra once bathed here in thermal springs, and the ruins of an ancient Roman bath can still be seen beneath the clear water. We’ll stop for swimming and snorkeling, enjoying the calm of the bay and the fresh scent of pine-covered slopes.
After lunch on board, we continue to Bedri Rahmi Bay, one of the most famous and inspiring bays of the Göcek area. Here, we’ll moor near the Miori restaurant to spend the evening in a warm, intimate atmosphere, with dinner by the water and views of the sunset reflected in the sea.
💠 Cleopatra Bath Bay (Hammam Bay) - a unique place where history merges with nature. Beneath the water’s surface, the ruins of ancient baths are visible, said by legend to have been built for Cleopatra herself. Warm springs and rich turquoise waters create a magical play of light - swimming here feels like a journey through time. Surrounded by pine-covered hills, the bay is considered one of the most photogenic spots in the entire Göcek region.
💠 Bedri Rahmi Bay - A bay named after the famous Turkish artist and poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, who in the 1970s left a fish painting on the rock - a symbol of inspiration and creativity. Here you can see ancient Lycian tombs, walk along the shore, and in the evening enjoy dinner at the Miori restaurant, where the aromas of fresh dishes blend with the sea breeze and the sounds of nature. This is a place where art, history, and the sea come together in a single feeling of harmony.
GÖCEK • Day 6
In the morning, we leave Bedri Rahmi Bay and head toward the Yassıca Islands archipelago - one of the most beautiful natural areas of Göcek Bay. We drop anchor near a sandy spit between the islands, where the sea shimmers in shades of azure and turquoise. Here you can swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the silence under the morning sun.
After some rest and a light lunch on board, we continue to the town of Göcek, the center of the region’s yachting life. An evening stroll along the promenade awaits, followed by dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants and an overnight stay in the marina under the shimmering lights of yachts. This is a cozy stop before the final passage the next day.
🏝 Yassıca Islands (Yassıca Adaları) - A picturesque group of small islands in the heart of Göcek Bay. They are known for warm, crystal-clear water and a sandy spit connecting two islands, where you can stand knee-deep in the sea and watch the water and sky merge into a single line. The place is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and photo sessions - a true natural aquarium.
⚓ Гечек (Göcek) - An atmospheric marina town known for its quiet luxury and maritime charm. Cozy streets, refined restaurants, and views of dozens of white yachts gently swaying in the glow of sunset come together here. It’s a place where an evening by the sea turns into pure pleasure before the final day of the journey.
FETHIYE • Day 7
In the morning, we leave Göcek Marina and make a short passage to Göcek Adası, located right at the entrance to the bay. Here, in a quiet cove with crystal-clear water, we enjoy a morning swim and a peaceful breakfast on board, accompanied by the rustle of pine trees and the calls of seagulls. It’s the perfect place to savor the final moments of the sea journey and feel the lightness of freedom on the water.
After some rest, we set course for Fethiye, the final point of the route. The passage takes about an hour, offering views of the coastline and a gentle morning breeze along the way. Arrival at the home marina becomes a harmonious conclusion to a week filled with sea, sun, and inspiration.
🏝 Göcek Adası - An island standing guard at the entrance to Göcek Bay. Its coves are known for calm waters and a soft sandy bottom, surrounded by pine-covered slopes and rocky cliffs. The northern part of the island is ideal for anchoring and swimming - with clear water, a peaceful atmosphere, and stunning views of the town of Göcek. This is a place that feels made for pausing for a moment and thanking the sea for the journey.
⚓ Фетхие - A cozy coastal town with the soul of an old port. A walk along the promenade, the aroma of coffee, white yachts, and mountain views create a sense of calm and gentle nostalgia. This is where our sea journey comes to an end, but inspiration remains - that very feeling from which a new dream of the sea is born.
