After breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and the gulet. Then we will cruise to Ekincik Gulf.
Ekincik is an unspoiled natural wonder, blessed with breathtaking
beauty. It is uncrowded, pretty and tranquil with a nice little beach
nearby. The coastal road there is gorgeous too and is a good base for
boat trips and walking tours.
The 2 km long stretch of the unspoilt gravel beach meets a small
harbor from which the boats departs to Dalyan, located approximately 45
minutes away. The scenery is stunning and there are many opportunities
to observe the local wildlife. On the beach there is a small range of
water sports facilities available including bananaboat and waterski.
You may join our optional Dalyan Tour from here. You will be taken
from your yacht by a small boat called “piyade”. Firstly arrive at
CarettaCaretta (turtle) beach and a take a swim stop here. You will
enjoy the natural beauty of the delta as you sail along in the river
boat. You will see the ancient Rock Tombs and finally arrive at mud
baths to relax and be rejuvenated. A fishing village called Dalyan will
be our final destinations after we return to our yacht by piyade boat.
Dinner and overnight stay will be in the Gulf of Ekincik.
At sunset, the sun hits the stones and turns crimson red in color, a
color that resembles the island soil. The island got its name from this
phenomenon. There is very little infrastructure on this island. The
southern tip of the island has a lighthouse that guides maritime
traffic. To the northwest are theDeliktasIslands, ideal for diving and
fishing. The red waves off the east coast of the island wash the wide
sand beach and are best suited for swimming. After spend some time in
Kizil Island we will sail to Fethiye.
Fethiye is a natural harbor city in the western Mediterranean. It’s a
very popular holiday center with its magnificent natural beauty and
ancient Lycian towns. Oludeniz considered the most beautiful beach in
Turkey is nearby, and it is a popular place to start a blue voyage yacht
cruise.
If all places and all seas were known by a colour, Fethiye’s colour
would be turquoise. The word turquoise, a blue that has more than a hint
of green, comes from the blue used in the Turkish tile work. The most
beautiful shade of the colour blue came and settled on the waters of the
oludeniz (Dead Sea). Towards evening, around sunset, you catch such a
wonderful turquoise you can never see on any other seas. If you call it
blue you are wrong, if you say it is green it is not that either but
both together. It is difficult to put it into words. It is best if you
go and see it for yourself and be hit by a lightening bolt! Dinner and
overnight stay will be at Fethiye Harbor.
Day 4 : Gocek, Yassica Island
After the breakfast, we will be visiting uniquely beautiful islands
and finally hoist near Gocek. Following lunch and a swimming break we
will cruise to Yassica islands to spend the night and cherish the
wonderful scenery.
Some of these islands appear as the Yassica Islands group on several
maritime maps. Anchorage is available at the nearest port of Gocek.
Yassica Islands in the Gulf of Fethiye is one of the most romantic
places, ideal for spending quality time with your partner and
photographing gorgeous sunsets. The islands are covered with pine and
olive trees, have many sheltered and shallow bays and are ideal for
water sports enthusiasts.
Day 5 : Bedri Rahmi Bay, Domuz Island, Aga Limani
Bedri Rahmi Bay, the shipyard in the Gulf of Fethiye is located just
across the island. It is also known by the Lycian name of Tasyaka or
‘dark bay’, due to its natural beauty and historical significance. Bedri
Rahmi Eyuboglu was an esteemed master of Turkish literature, art and
painting. In the summer of 1973, during a cruise with close friends, he
drew a fish on a huge rock. This ‘Fish Rock’ located at the entrance of
the blue bay still greets passengers. In fact, the region itself is
known as ‘Fish Rock’ in honor of the great master.
Bedri Rahmi Bay is well sheltered from strong winds and is therefore a
good point of anchorage. It is also known for its pine and olive
covering the hills behind the oleander flowers, small beaches and
turquoise waters, creating a image of fantastic proportions!
Day 6 : Kumlu Buku, Cennet Island
Today, we will cruise to Kumlubuk Bay early in the morning. Breakfast
