Fethiye - Kekova - Fethiye

Taking a Blue cruise Turkey Gulet along Turkey’s Turquoise Coast is often one of the highlights of travelling in Turkey. If you have a little extra time in your itinerary, you can stay on board for a full week and enjoy the Fethiye to Kekova to Fethiye Blue Cruise.  With seven days at sea, you will have plenty of time to relax, swim in secluded bays and fully enjoy a sailing holiday along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean.

This week-long sailing route follows the spectacular coastline between Fethiye and the Kekova region before returning to Fethiye. While some famous highlights are visited more than once, the experience is never the same. You will discover different swimming spots, peaceful anchorages and hidden coves along the route. Each stop gives you the choice to explore ashore or simply stay on board and enjoy the quiet beauty of the surrounding bays. If you would like to try activities such as diving or paragliding, this itinerary also gives you the flexibility to experience them without worrying about missing any part of the journey. A week-long Blue Cruise also means you can truly switch off, with fresh meals prepared daily, a bar on board and a friendly crew taking care of everything while you relax and enjoy life at sea.

During the cruise you will visit some of the most famous destinations along the Turquoise Coast. Early highlights include St Nicholas Island, Butterfly Valley, the famous Blue Lagoon, and Oludeniz Beach. Later in the journey you will explore the charming harbour town of Kas, discover the remarkable Sunken City of Kekova, and visit the hilltop ruins of Simena Castle. Along the way you will anchor in beautiful secluded bays surrounded by nature, giving you countless opportunities to swim, snorkel and relax in crystal-clear waters. Throughout the cruise, your friendly crew — including a captain, sailor and onboard chef — will ensure you experience warm Turkish hospitality while exploring this unforgettable coastline.

If you can spare the extra days in your Turkey itinerary, this week-long Fethiye Blue Cruise is an experience you will never forget — and one you may wish never had to end.

Meet at Fethiye Harbour at 10:00 AM, where you will board the gulet, receive a short briefing, and settle into your cabin. Once all guests have arrived, your Blue Cruise Turkey will depart the harbour and head towards the first stop, Butterfly Valley.

Here you can enjoy your first swim in the clear waters or explore Butterfly Valley, a protected natural area known for its steep cliffs and seasonal butterfly population. From there, you will continue to Oludeniz Beach, widely recognised for paragliding and home to the famous Blue Lagoon.

Optional Activity: Paragliding at Blue Lagoon
 For those seeking panoramic views, optional paragliding offers a unique perspective over Oludeniz and the Blue Lagoon. If you would like more information, please speak with the Sail Turkey team at the time of booking to learn about availability and pre-booking discounts.

After sailing past Oludeniz Beach, your captain will anchor behind the Blue Lagoon, giving you time to swim and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The final stop of the day is St Nicholas Island, where you will anchor for the evening. You may explore the island’s Byzantine ruins or walk to the summit for panoramic coastal views, especially popular at sunset.

This morning, you may enjoy a relaxed start while your crew departs at dawn to cover one of the longer sailing distances of your Blue Cruise Turkey. You will wake in a scenic bay near Kalkan, surrounded by calm waters and coastal views. You may choose to begin the day with a refreshing swim before the captain continues towards Kas.

Optional Activity: Diving in Kas
The waters around Kas are known for their exceptional clarity and depth, making them suitable for diving. Pre-booking this optional activity in advance is recommended to secure availability and preferred rates.

Often considered a highlight of the route, Kas is a charming former fishing village with cobblestone streets, traditional Ottoman houses, and bougainvillea-lined lanes. You may browse local jewellery shops and boutiques, relax in a waterfront cafe, or explore the town at your own pace. After time ashore in Kas, your captain will cruise to a secluded bay, where you will anchor for a peaceful evening and overnight stay.

Simena Castle -> Kekova

Today is an action-packed day as you sail your Blue Cruise Turkey past the famous Sunken City of Kekova. Your captain will cruise slowly along the coastline, allowing you to take photographs of the partially submerged ruins, which are believed to date back to the Lycian period and were later affected by earthquakes that caused sections of the settlement to sink below sea level. This area is a protected archaeological site, so swimming or anchoring directly over the ruins is not permitted.

After viewing the ruins, you will have the opportunity to visit Kekova and Simena Castle. The hilltop castle, constructed during Byzantine times and later restored, offers panoramic views across the surrounding coastline and islands. The village below remains largely unspoiled, with narrow paths, stone houses, and a small harbour that reflects its traditional character. You may climb to the top for the views or relax in one of the small waterfront cafes.

In the afternoon, you will continue to Gokkaya Bay, known for its sheltered waters and scenic surroundings. This wide bay is a popular overnight anchorage along the route, offering calm conditions ideal for swimming and relaxing. The peaceful setting and clear waters provide a tranquil end to the day before your overnight stay.

Gokkaya Bay -> Demre

Start the day with one last swim in the beautiful waters of Gokkaya Bay, before cruising to Demre Port. Guests on the four-day itinerary will disembark here, so it's time to say goodbye to your new friends. You will then have a few hours to explore Demre, so why not relax at a cafe or visit the impressive Andriake ruins? At around lunchtime, return to the boat to welcome the new guests who will be joining you on the Demre to Fethiye Turkey Blue cruise .

As your Blue Cruise Turkey adventure continues, you will sail to Karemlik Turtles Bay, where you can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, and spotting Caretta caretta turtles. In the afternoon, you will cruise past the Sunken City of Kekova before arriving at Kalekoy, where you can paddleboard along the coast and see the impressive Lycian Tombs rising from the shoreline.

Later, the gulet anchors in Gokkaya Bay, a peaceful swimming spot and turtle breeding area where you can swim or relax on deck at sunset. In the evening, you can visit the famous Smugglers Inn Bar for a lively night out before returning to the gulet in Gokkaya Bay.

This morning your Blue cruise Turkey Gulet will head on to Kas. Time to get the credit cards out again and make those purchases you may have been tempted by last time. You will visit a new bay on your way back to Kas for a swim before anchoring in the beautiful little village. For history buffs, some ancient ruins are scattered throughout the town, and Antiphellos Amphitheatre that overlooks the ocean is only a short walk outside the main hustle and bustle of Kas. Suppose you find it all too hot to walk. Then, why not just stroll to one of the little beaches with crystal-clear turquoise water and dive back into the ocean? Kas has some natural cold currents, so it's a sure way to get a refreshing break from the day's heat.

Kalkan -> Butterfly Valley

This morning, your Blue cruise Turkey crew head off early to get you to Butterfly Valley. So, as you open your eyes for the morning, you may be familiar with the surroundings you will see. Breakfast will be served before you can hike into the valley if you didn't last time. Enjoy the beautiful blue waters, and swim to wake yourself up and start the day. Once Butterfly Valley is done, it will be time to cruise back to Oludeniz Beach and the Blue Lagoon.

Optional Activity: Paragliding in Blue Lagoon

Did you go paragliding last time? Are you tempted now? If so, we recommend pre-booking or speaking to your Captain about giving it a go.

That night is again spent at St Nicholas Island. As the sunset is the best from the top of the island, you may choose to go back on land to enjoy it with your new friends, or you may like to sit on the deck and enjoy some sunset drinks as your chef prepares a feast for dinner.

This morning it's your last day on your Blue cruise Turkey Fethiye to Kekova to Fethiye Sail. It's time to enjoy the luxury of being on a Turkey boat and get a few swims in before you head back into Fethiye Harbor. You should arrive at the port just after lunch. Again, it will be time to farewell new friends and your friendly crew before you return to your accommodation or your next destination within Turkey. If you need assistance with your onward plans, please be sure to speak to the Sail Turkey crew when you are booking, as they can assist you with ideas or answer any of your queries. We are confident that this Fethiye Sail week-long cruise has left you relaxed and re-energized, ready to continue your travels. You will be sure to miss it all once you leave.

Important note: although we use the word sail, our Turkish gulets cruise with their motors. No sailing is usually done along this coastline. Please also note that the Captain is in charge at all times. Should the weather change and any parts of this itinerary be too rough or dangerous to do or complete, we hope you understand your safety comes first. If any route is amended due to weather conditions, all efforts are made to help customers with alternative options. No money is refunded.
