Upon your arrival at Dalaman Airport or the Fethiye bus station, you will be transferred to your hotel in Fethiye. After checking in and receiving your room keys, the remainder of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure. You might choose to explore the local streets, relax by the sea, or immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of this coastal town. Your first night will be spent in a comfortable hotel in Fethiye.
Today is a free day to enjoy the natural beauty of Fethiye. You can spend your morning relaxing on the beach, swimming in the crystal-clear sea, or browsing the local markets for souvenirs. If you prefer a more active day, there are numerous local options to choose from, such as visiting an aqua park, going scuba diving, or joining a fishing excursion. Enjoy the sunshine and the magnificent coastal views before returning to your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast, check out of your hotel and board the traditional gulet that will be your home for the next three nights. The blue cruise begins as the boat leaves Fethiye and follows the coastline towards St. Nicholas Island, with stops along the way for swimming in the clear waters. Meals are served on board, and the boat anchors for the night in the sheltered waters around St. Nicholas Island, so you can enjoy your first evening at sea in a peaceful setting. Overnight on the gulet.
The morning starts with a cruise to Aquarium Bay, a perfect spot for a refreshing swim and snorkeling in pristine waters. Afterward, we continue our journey to the charming fishing village of Kas. Lunch is served on board while the gulet is moored in its charming little harbour. We will spend the night anchored in one of the secluded, quiet bays located between Kas and the Kekova region.
Today is dedicated to discovering the wonders of the Kekova region. We will cruise slowly over the Sunken City, the remains of a Lycian town around 2,000 years old that was destroyed by an earthquake; as this is a protected area, swimming, diving and snorkeling are not permitted here. Following this, we head to Simena Village, where you can walk up to the castle for a wonderful view over the bay, with Lycian tombs half under water and the drowned town beyond. In the evening the gulet anchors in the beautiful surroundings of Gokkaya Bay for the night.
After a final breakfast on board, we will head to the Ucagiz Village Harbour. From here, you will be transferred to your chosen treehouse accommodation in Olympos, a journey of approximately two hours. Alternatively, if your travel plans take you elsewhere, you can be dropped off at the Demre bus station, where frequent local buses connect to major destinations like Antalya, Kas, or Fethiye. We hope you have enjoyed this memorable journey along the Turkish coast.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized β from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
