    Fethiye to Kekova Gulet Sailing: 8 Days on the Turquoise Coast

    This is eight days aboard a traditional Turkish gulet, sailing the Turquoise Coast from Fethiye down to Kekova and back. You’ll wake up to turquoise water and plenty of sun, moving between the lively town of Fethiye and the quieter coves around Kas and Demre. Along the way you’ll swim in secluded bays, snorkel over the sunken ruins at Kekova, and stop at tucked-away beaches. The gulet is your base: stretch out on deck in the sun, slip into clear water when you feel like it, and wander the cobbled streets of Kalkan for a taste of Mediterranean town life. In the evenings, the air stays warm, and you can share a cocktail on deck with the others on board. One tip: bring soft-soled shoes for climbing around the ruins and the boat. This trip takes you through small coastal towns and villages at a relaxed pace.
