Itinerary
-
Spend eight days sailing the Turquoise Coast on a traditional gulet, departing from Kemer and looping through the ancient Lycian shore to Kekova and back. The route threads past Olympos, Adrasan, Phaselis, Demre and the Sunken City, with daily stops for swimming, snorkelling and optional visits to rock-cut tombs, a Roman theatre and a Genoese castle. Most coves are reachable only by sea, so the pace stays relaxed and the anchorages quiet. You sleep on board each night, with breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
-
Board the gulet at Kemer or Antalya harbour from 4 pm, settle into your cabin and share dinner on deck as the boat stays moored for the first night.

Lovely relaxing trip, beautiful scenery and nice boat. Captain and his wife were pleasant and kind. Food was lacking both in variety and amount and dietary requirements, despite having been made aware of previously were not catered for. Drinking water was charged for despite being told it was inclusive at meal times and there were no fishing or snorkelling equipment, again after being told that these were available. It’s a shame as these few tweaks would have made all the difference from it being a good experience to a great one
