Our first destination is Butterfly Valley, where you can take a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean Sea or hike to a nearby waterfall. Keep your eyes peeled for the diverse moths and butterflies inhabiting this stunning location.

After a delightful lunch on board, we’ll continue our voyage to Oludeniz, also known as the Blue Lagoon. Here, you’ll have the option to experience the thrill of paragliding. Fly 2,000 meters above Oludeniz Beach and the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon from the top of Babadag Mountain. Discover why this location is renowned as one of the most spectacular places in the world for paragliding.

As the day draws to a close, we’ll anchor along the picturesque shores of St. Nicholas Island. Take some time to explore the captivating ruins and be prepared for an unforgettable sunset experience.

This charming fishing village boasts some of the best shopping in the region, is clustered with handicraft stores, and is home to an ancient theatre.

Most of our guests prefer to grab in Kas town. In the afternoon, we offer a Cooking Class on board where you can learn how to make Turkish Cheese Rolls and pancakes. You can then enjoy brunch with what you have cooked in the Cooking Class.

The first destination on today’s itinerary is the Sunken City of Kekova, a 2,000-year-old series of ruins that resulted from a devastating earthquake in the 2nd century AD. While we can cruise alongside the ruins to get a good look, swimming and snorkelling are not permitted as it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If guests want to visit Myra and St. Nicholas Church by car, they should inform their captain beforehand. Please note that this visit will incur an additional fee.

We will then begin our journey towards Turtle Beach, where you will have the opportunity to swim and observe 5 out of the 8 types of turtles found in the Mediterranean in their natural habitat.

In the afternoon, we will sail back towards the Sunken City of Kekova to catch another glimpse of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will anchor near Kekova again so guests can either climb up to Simena Castle or explore the sarcophagus that rests on the water’s edge to the east of town. Later, we will head to Aquarium Bay for 5 o’clock tea. Our final destination for the day is Kocakari Bay, where we will spend the night.

All of our vessels are traditional gulet yachts, which are constructed in Southern Turkey. These two or three-masted sailing vessels have everything you need, including ensuite cabins, a chef’s kitchen, dining areas and mattresses on the deck if you prefer to sleep under the stars.

To ensure you have enough room to move around your cabin, we recommend you bring a small to medium-sized suitcase or backpack.

Due to boat licensing laws, you are not able to bring your own alcohol on the vessel. However, well-priced drinks are available for you to purchase on board using a tab system, which needs to be paid the day you check-out.

On all of our gulet cruises, we offer a traditional Turkish breakfast, a vegetarian lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, which are included in the price.
We offer Jain, Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal and Kosher food options on request.
You are welcome to bring extra snacks for the journey. Drinks can only be purchased on board on a tab basis, paid on the day you disembark.

Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring your own drinks on board (including water) but you can bring your own snacks, such as peanuts, crisps, biscuits etc. 

Bar Payments: Please keep in mind that you will need to have cash available to cover any expenses at the bar during the trip. The bar payments will be settled on the final day of the journey. It is possible that there won’t be any ATMs available at the ports, so it is best to plan accordingly. However, do not worry about withdrawing cash at the outset as there are ATMs in Kas Port town that will become accessible on the second day of the journey.

Some boats have power sockets in the cabins while other vessels only have them only in the salon area. The power sockets can be used when the engine or generator is on.

Beach Towels not provided: Please be advised that we do not provide beach towels on board. We kindly request that you bring your own towels for use at the beach. While bath towels are available, they should not be used for the beach. Please note that shops selling towels are easily found in every town throughout Turkey.

Gulet boats have limited energy resources, which is why it’s recommended to limit the use of air conditioning to 4-6 hours per day. This will help conserve fuel and optimize the efficiency of the boat. It will also extend the lifespan of the generator and support eco-friendly practices by relying on natural ventilation. Running the generator at night can be quite noisy and disruptive to other passengers. Therefore, it’s important to strike a balance between guest comfort and environmental responsibility.
