Description

FOUR-DAY/THREE-NIGHT CRUISE FROM FETHIYE TO OLYMPOS HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Day 1: Butterfly Valley - Oludeniz - St. Nicholas Island

Set sail from Fethiye Harbour at 10:30 am aboard the Gulet yacht. Explore Butterfly Valley, enjoy lunch, and head to Oludeniz for adventure or relaxation. End the day near St. Nicholas Island with sunset views. Join us for a memorable day on the Turkish coast!

Day:2 St. Nicholas Island to Kas

During the early morning hours, the skilled crew will steer the gulet along the coast of Patara and head towards Hidayet Bay. Upon arrival, breakfast will be served, after which there will be plenty of time to swim before heading into Kas. This charming fishing village offers some of the best shopping in the region, with an abundance of handicraft stores, and is home to an ancient theatre.

Most of our customers enjoy having lunch 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.

In the late afternoon, we will make our way to one of the secluded bays between Kas and Kekova, where we will spend the night.

Day 3: Kas to Sunken City of Kekova

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 are permitted to cruise alongside the ruins to get a good look, swimming and snorkelling are not permitted as it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the afternoon, we’ll anchor nearby so you can explore Kekova Island and Simena Castle, which offers magnificent views across the surrounding bay. This evening, we will overnight in Gokkaya Bay and visit the legendary Smuggler’s Inn.

Day 4: Gokkaya Bay to Demre and Olympos

After enjoying breakfast on board, your Gulet will be docking at the Demre harbour between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
At the end of the cruise, a complimentary shuttle service to Olympos will be provided from Demre.

We offer convenient options for those who prefer a private transfer to Olympos or nearby destinations. Our recommended private transfer service provides a comfortable and hassle-free journey. On our website, you can explore our private transfer options in the Demre Transfers.

If you plan on visiting Antalya, Kas, Fethiye, or other nearby cities after the cruise, we will conveniently drop you off at the Demre bus station. From there, you can easily catch regular buses to these destinations. Buses depart every 30 minutes to an hour, providing flexibility and options for onward travel.

For a comfortable stay after your cruise, we recommend the Bayrams Tree Houses in Olympos, which offers a serene atmosphere and comfortable budget accommodation in quirky treehouses and bungalows, with dinner.
