Day 2
Ölüdeniz, Gemiler Island & Butterfly Valley
A spectacular day of back-to-back wonders. Begin at Ölüdeniz — the famous 'Dead Sea' lagoon — where impossibly still, vivid turquoise waters invite a long, tranquil swim. Continue to historic Gemiler Island, scattered with Byzantine church ruins and shaded pine groves, before anchoring off Butterfly Valley: a dramatic canyon accessible only by sea, home to hundreds of rare butterfly species and a cascade-fed cove perfect for snorkelling.
Day 3
Yeşilköy & Kaş
Cruise eastward along the Lycian coastline, pausing first at the sheltered anchorage of Yeşilköy Limanı for a mid-morning swim in calm, crystal-clear waters. Arrive in the afternoon at Kaş, one of the coast's most beloved small towns. Moor along the quay and spend the evening wandering cobblestone lanes lined with bougainvillea, browsing boutique shops, and dining at one of the waterfront restaurants.

Day 4
Kaleüçagız & Kekova
Drop anchor in the tranquil village bay of Kaleüçağız (ancient Teimiussa), where Lycian rock tombs rise straight from the waterfront. From here, glide along the shore of Kekova Island to marvel at the sunken city — a hauntingly beautiful network of submerged Lycian ruins visible through the gin-clear shallows. Moor beneath the photogenic castle of Kaleköy (Simena) for an unforgettable overnight.

Day 5
Gökkaya Limanı & Demre (Andriake)
Spend the morning exploring the vast, island-studded inlet of Gökkaya Limanı — one of the coast's finest natural harbours — with secluded coves and absolute peace. In the afternoon, head to Andriake, the ancient harbour of Demre (Myra), where you can visit the remarkably preserved Roman granary and, if time allows, the famous Church of St Nicholas — the original Santa Claus — nearby.

Kalkan & Kaputaş Beach
Sail west to Kalkan, a sophisticated hillside town spilling down to a pretty marina, ideal for a leisurely breakfast at a rooftop café. Continue a short distance along the dramatic cliffs to anchor off Kaputaş Beach — one of Turkey's most iconic strands, where a turquoise river gorge meets the deep blue sea. Swim in the brilliant waters at the foot of towering limestone cliffs before settling in for a peaceful evening afloat.

Samanlık Bay offers calm, sheltered swimming and pine-scented shade, while nearby Turunc Pınarı — a woodland spring cove — is the perfect place to linger over a long lunch on deck and savour your final full day at sea. Raise a glass to a memorable voyage as the sun sets over the hills.
Day 8
