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!
8 Days Fethiye to Bodrum Blue Cruise on a Traditional Gulet Group Tour
Highlights of the 8‑Day Fethiye‑Bodrum Blue Cruise
Set sail from the historic harbor of Fethiye and glide across the crystal‑clear waters of the Turkish coast. Your first stop is the Yassica Islands, home to the famed Cleopatra’s Baths – an ancient Roman hammam where you can swim through marble ruins before enjoying a sunset dinner on board. The voyage continues to Ekincik, where a brief excursion to Dalyan offers the chance to explore ancient rock tombs, mud baths and the turtle‑nesting beach – an optional adventure for those seeking extra time on land.
This is a shared cabin cruise without air conditioning: cabins are allocated on board, singles share with other travellers of the same gender where possible, and a single supplement is available. Meals and drinking water are included, while other drinks are bought from the bar on board.
From there the cruise heads to Marmaris, a bustling seaside town with cobbled streets, a lively bazaar and a vibrant nightlife that you can experience after a leisurely swim in Paradise Bay. The next leg takes you to the tranquil Kadirga area, where Serce Bay’s secluded beaches provide a peaceful retreat from the previous night’s revelry. Onward to Datca, a town steeped in antiquity, where the old harbor, temples and theatres invite exploration. The journey then leads to the archaeological jewel of Knidos, where the ruins of an ancient city and its two harbors still stand, offering a glimpse into Hellenistic grandeur.
The final stretch brings you to Bodrum, a picturesque town of whitewashed houses and cobblestone streets. After a swim at Black Island, you’ll arrive at Bodrum harbor, where you can wander the castle‑turned‑maritime museum, shop in high‑end boutiques or enjoy the renowned nightlife. The cruise concludes with a farewell breakfast in Bodrum before you disembark, taking home memories of turquoise waters, ancient ruins and the camaraderie of a small‑group adventure.

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
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 — 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!
