TURKEY - Bodrum to Marmaris
Exploring Turkey's Mediterranean and Aegean coastline, this ten day cruise blends eastern and western influences.
On the day one begins at Bodrum on Turkey's Aegean coast where you pick up your charter and sail across the Gulf of Gokova to Knidos and drop anchor for your first night aboard.
On day two you leave the 400 BC ruined port with its temple of Aphrodite and sail west, with the Dacta Yarimadas peninsula to your left (portside), to the beautiful beaches of the resort town of Dacta.
Day three brings you to Keki Buku, a natural deep-water anchorage some 22 nautical miles from Dacta, with pine-fringed beach and secluded bay primed for watersports.
Day four and five take in the busy town of Marmaris on the Mediterranean cost with its traditional eastern bazaar, and Ekincik 18 miles east of Marmaris. You encounter the islands of Sombeki, Kofezi and the dramatic headland at Ancient Loryma en route. Turkey's very own "Dead Sea". Oludeniz with its fabulous backdrop, in your destination on day six, while day seven finds you dramatically moored right amongst the ancient ruins of the tiny island of Gemiler Adasi. In the rocks, high above the bustling town of Fethiye, ancient carved Lycian tombs reside. Why not climb up to see them before having dinner in the square below on day eight.
Day nine is yours to explore this lovely town and its environs, just 30 km away is the hidden valley of Saklikent with an ancient settlement. The final full day of your cruise, day ten, sails on to Kapu Da at the head of the Gulf of Fethiye, where you can opt for a challenging climb up to ancient ruins. On your final day you leisurely sail back across the bay to Gocek where the charter ends.
