Itinerary
-
Spend eight days on a traditional Turkish gulet sailing the Turquoise Coast from Bodrum to Fethiye. The wooden motor-sailer has ensuite cabins on one deck, a mix of twin and double beds, and a light engine hum underway — earplugs help if you sleep lightly. Days blend swimming, snorkelling and short walks among ruins; a good swimming ability is needed to enjoy every stop. Most meals are cooked on board; when meals aren't included you'll have free time in coastal towns to eat ashore. Some visits involve uneven ground in heat — speak to your leader if you have mobility concerns. Private charters for groups are also possible.
-
Arrive in Bodrum and explore the whitewashed town at your own pace before boarding the gulet at 4 pm. After a short briefing you sail to Black Island for a first swim, then return for dinner on board.
