1. Orhaniye - Ekincik OR Ekincik- Orhaniye
Day 1
We arrange a punctual transfer from Dalaman airport to Orhaniye. This will take approximately 2 hours. Along the Turkish landscape, you travel between mountains and valleys. As your flight was already tiring, we pass, but we do not visit Marmaris now and we drive straight to Orhaniye : an oasis of nature and a perfect spot to relax . We will be there to give you a warm welcome on board and show you your accommodation. Orhaniye, the place where we grew up, is situated in a beautiful green bay with an island in the middle. And, THE local specialty : you can walk on the water here.
Day 2After breakfast, we sail to Selimiye, a village frozen in time, located in a secluded bay. From this point, we can arrange a minibus-trip to the waterfalls : even in the middle of the summer you can enjoy the freshness of the water and the beauty of the trees. On your way back, there is a carpet shop you can visit : the owners give the best explanation about their carpets : history-way of weaving-patterns-origin etc. You can even try yourself to do it. And, of course, you can buy the carpet of your choice (without obligations) Arriving at Selimiye, you can walk around or swim in the very clean and transparent water. We sail to a quiet bay for the night. After dinner and one or more drinks you can sleep according to your preference : under the protection of a million stars or safely in your cabin.
Day 3/4/5For some days : no spectacular visits or hot points, “only” the magnificence of nature. You will never forget the coves, the islands, the colours of the sea, the peace and the silence you will experience. You will live in another (better) world. The only activities are : swimming, snorkelling, fishing, walking, relishing, discovering or, just blissful doing nothing. Depending your preference, we can call on at Bozborun or Datça – both small marinas with possibility for small shopping.
Day 6We arrive at Marmaris. This feels somewhat vivacious after the preceding days, but, a lot of possibilities are open here : shopping (everything is available) – Turkish bath – disco’s – restaurants & café’s – a walk along the marina- a visit to the ancient castle etc. A mix of both tourism and Turkish hospitality.
Day 7Departure from Marmaris, and we sail till Ekincik bay. The smell of the pine trees is dominating the area. If you wish, we can call a river boat to pick you up for following visits : Caunos : ruins from the Lycian period (400 BC), with a splendid view on the swamps and the sea. Navigating through the marches you will discover the graves from kings and queens hewed out in the rocks high in the mountains. (be prepapred to walk up the steep hills for this one) Dalyan : a walk in a cosy, small town. After this visit the skipper will guide you to a place nearby where your skin can enjoy the healing mud baths in the middle of nature. Carretta Carretta : a sandy beach well known because of the turtles with the same name.
