Day 1: From Fethiye to Butterfly Valley, Sunset at St. Nicholas Island
Our adventure begins at Fethiye Port (11:00-12:00). After settling into our yacht, our first stop at the meeting point of the Aegean and Mediterranean is:
-
Samanlık Bay: We take our first swimming break and enjoy a delicious lunch at Samanlık Bay, known for its proximity to the port and its clear waters.
-
Butterfly Valley: If sea conditions allow, we take a second swimming break and visit the natural beauties within the valley, home to 136 species of butterflies.
-
Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon): Our route extends to Ölüdeniz, considered one of the world's most beautiful beaches, depending on sea conditions. Here, you can enjoy the turquoise waters, and for those seeking adrenaline, there is a chance to paraglide (not included in the price).
-
St. Nicholas Island (Gemiler Island): The final point of the day is St. Nicholas Island, famous for its historical texture. Here you can visit the Byzantine ruins, take our last swim break against the unique view, and end the day with a peaceful dinner on our yacht.
Day 2: Cruising from Aquarium Bay to Ancient Kaş and Towards Kekova
With the sunrise, our yacht sets sail towards the calm Firnaz Bay or Aquarium Bay near Kalkan. After breakfast, we set sail to discover the gems of the Mediterranean:
-
Firnaz Bay / Aquarium Bay: We start the day with a pleasant swim break in the clear waters.
-
Kaş: Kaş, the charming fishing town where we stop for lunch, bears the traces of the Lycian civilization. In Kaş, formerly ancient Antiphellos, you will have the chance to see rock tombs from the Lycians, the Roman theatre, and other astonishing historical beauties. We have our lunch in the center of Kaş.
-
Cruising to Kekova: In the afternoon, we set sail towards a tranquil bay near Kekova. We anchor here in the evening, enjoy the sea and nature, and have a pleasant dinner on our yacht.
Day 3: Kekova's Sunken City, Simena, and Pirate Heaven Gökkaya
On this day, we reach the cultural and adventurous peak of our Blue Cruise:
-
Kekova Sunken City: In the early morning, we set sail towards Kekova's sunken city. This sunken city, with its underwater and above-water ruins from the Lycian and Roman periods, is under archaeological protection. We glide over these mysterious ruins with our yacht, witnessing history. (Swimming is prohibited here due to protection status.)
-
Simena (Kaleköy): We visit Simena, a traditional fishing village inaccessible by cars. Here you can visit the Byzantine and Ottoman Castle located at the summit and take photos of the unique view of Kekova.
-
Gökkaya Bay: At Gökkaya Bay, which we reach in the second half of the day, water sports facilities are available (extra). We have our dinner in this "pirate heaven" bay. Guests who wish can spend relaxing time or go ashore to join the party at the smugglers' cave for entertainment.
