Trip Itinerary

After checking in at our Fethiye Harbour office at 09:30 am, you and your fellow travellers of various ages will receive a warm welcome and a brief orientation from your guide. At 10:30 am, we’ll board the Gulet yacht and begin our adventure.

Our first destination is Butterfly Valley, a natural paradise where everyone can find something to enjoy. While some may dip in the refreshing Mediterranean Sea, others can take a leisurely hike to a nearby waterfall, admiring the stunning flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for the vibrant display of moths and butterflies that inhabit this valley, making it an enchanting experience for all ages.

After working up an appetite, we’ll gather on the yacht for a delicious lunch that caters to various tastes and dietary preferences.

Next, we’ll set sail for Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon), a place that offers something special for everyone in the group. Paragliding from Babadag Mountain is an option worth considering for those seeking adventure. The thrill of soaring 2,000 meters above Oludeniz Beach and the sparkling Blue Lagoon will undoubtedly create lifelong memories. Meanwhile, those who prefer a more relaxed experience can bask in the natural beauty of the surroundings, taking in the awe-inspiring views.

As the day draws closer, we’ll anchor near St. Nicholas Island, where history and nature intertwine. All group members can explore the intriguing ruins, learn about the island’s past, and capture remarkable photos. And, of course, we’ll ensure that everyone can witness the breathtaking sunset, creating a magical atmosphere for both young and old alike.

Do Not Miss: Paragliding at Oludeniz is a must if you’re up for it! It’s one of the best spots in the world for this activity, and the views from 2,000 meters above are truly breathtaking. For a more relaxed experience, explore the ancient ruins on St. Nicholas Island at sunset—the light creates a magical atmosphere you won’t want to miss.

As dawn breaks, our crew will navigate the gulet along the coast past Patara, arriving at Hidayet Bay for a refreshing breakfast. Afterwards, dip in the tranquil waters before we sail into Kas, a charming fishing village renowned for its artisan shops and ancient theatre. You’ll have free time to explore Kas’s vibrant markets, where unique handicrafts and souvenirs await.

Most guests enjoy grabbing lunch in Kas before we gather back onboard for a special Cooking Class in the afternoon.

In the late afternoon, we’ll sail to a peaceful bay between Kas and Kekova, where we’ll anchor for the night.

Today’s journey begins with a visit to the mesmerising Sunken City of Kekova, an ancient series of ruins submerged by an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sunken City offers a fascinating glimpse into history while we cruise along its edges. Though swimming and snorkelling aren’t permitted, the view from the gulet provides a captivating experience of this archaeological marvel.

In the afternoon, we’ll anchor near Kekova Island, giving you time to explore the historic Simena Castle. Climb to the top for breathtaking views of the bay and the surrounding landscape, and don’t miss the chance to try the famous homemade ice cream sold by local vendors at the castle—a perfect treat after the hike.

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.

Here’s What Others Have Said

30-75's Fethiye to Olympos, 3 Nights

We went on an Olympos to Fethiye cruise with Sailnstay in May, and it was truly amazing. The views were breathtaking, and the sea was so clear. The best part was the friendships we made along the way. The crew was very professional, which allowed us to enjoy every moment. The food was delicious, and the comfort of the boat made us feel at home. Special thanks to the captain and his team for their hospitality and helpfulness. If you want to sail Turkey, I highly recommend this cruise with Sailnstay to anyone visiting!

30-75's Fethiye to Olympos, 3 Nights

My wife & I had a fantastic trip on our Gulet. Everything about the trip exceeded our hopes and expectations. The Gulet was traditional and beautiful, the crew (3) were terrific, the food delicious and our fellow guests were all such fun and we got on so well. The coastal waterways (deep blue), the coastline and the towns visited were great. We even got to swim with turtles. We had a terrific holiday, and we recommend SailnStay to any aspiring travellers.

30-75's Fethiye to Olympos, 3 Nights

I booked my 19 year old daughter on the 18-35 year Fethiye to Olympos cruise. What a fantastic tour company! The trip was amazing- great fun, great crew, great guests, great activities, great sites. Her flight from the UK was cancelled and she had to take a much later flight- the watsapp communications from SailnStay were great and they went out of their way to make sure she met up with the boat. Very reasonable price all round for the trip. She is a vegetarian and the food was amazing- again they went out of their way to make sure she had delicious vegetarian food at every meal. I cannot recommend SailnStay enough- they were incredible!
