Your cruise begins with check-in at Fethiye Harbor at 10:00 AM. After a warm welcome and safety briefing onboard, we sail to Butterfly Valley. Swim in the clear waters or hike up the valley to its waterfall — home to over 130 species of butterflies.
Next, we pass by the world-famous Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz, where the turquoise sea meets a pristine crescent-shaped beach.
Optional Activity: Paragliding over the Blue Lagoon
Take off from Babadag Mountain (2000m) and glide over Oludeniz and the lagoon — one of the top paragliding spots in the world. Pre-booking is recommended.
We anchor overnight at St. Nicholas Island. Explore the island’s ancient church ruins and enjoy the sunset from the top.
Wake up in the calm waters near Aquarium Bay, perfect for a refreshing morning swim. After breakfast, we cruise to Kas — a lively coastal town known for its boutique shops and charming cafés. You’ll have free time to stroll, shop, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.
Optional Activity: Scuba Diving in Kas
Join a certified diving boat to explore underwater caves, reefs, and even a shipwreck. Kas is considered one of the best diving destinations in Southern Turkey. Discounts available with pre-booking.
We spend the night in a tranquil bay between Kas and Kekova.
After breakfast, we cruise toward the Sunken City of Kekova — the partially submerged ruins of an ancient Lycian settlement destroyed by an earthquake over 2,000 years ago. This is a protected site, so swimming and snorkeling are not permitted here.
Next, we visit Simena Castle. Climb to the top for a panoramic view over the bay and surrounding islets.
We anchor overnight in Gokkaya Bay, known for its calm waters and the occasional visit from Caretta Caretta turtles.
Start your final day with a swim and breakfast onboard. We cruise back to Demre’s Cayagzi Harbor and disembark around 10:30–11:00 AM.

A shuttle transfer is provided either to Olympos (approx. 2 hours) or to the Demre bus station (10 min). If there aren’t enough passengers for a private shuttle to Olympos, public bus alternatives will be arranged.
