Göcek - Marmaris - Ekincik
Day 1
Leaving the customs control at Dalaman airport you will find someone of or team to bring you to Göcek (1/2hour to drive). We will be on board to give you a warm welcome and to guide you to your accommodations for the next week. Göcek is a small town, well know because of it's marina. You can have a walk in the marina and in town. But, soon we will depart to one of the many beautiful bays around. You will enjoy “life on board”, the clear water of the sea and the beauty of nature here. After dinner and one or more drinks, you can sleep as you wish : on deck under the protection of a million stars, or safely in your cabin. .
Day 2
The sun and the smell of a tasty breakfast will awake you. The sea is calm and smooth in the morning. The water is so transparent, so you can see lots of fishes swimming. It is amazing to join them and have an early swim. We leave the cove and sail in the direction of Fethiye. This town, full of life and animation will invite you to relish a Turkish bath – to shop – to try a café or a restaurant. You can admire the rockgrave of Amynthos and have a walk in the authentic market. We leave Fethiye to have a quiet night in a lonely bay.
Day 3
Early in the morning, we start the engine and leave for Ölüdeniz – the most famous beach and the blue lagoon of Turkey. You can stay in bed if you like – breakfast will be ready at arrival. You can swim in the clear water there, or you can climb the mountain to enjoy the brilliant view. We leave Ölüdeniz leave the crowd behind and sail till Gemiler island. On the island you will find many remains from the Byzantine time : churches – mosaics – even a very strange tunnel. Here you can really walk trough history !
Day 4
We will cross the bay of Fethiye and if there is enough wind, maybe we can do some real sailing. The crew will open the sails, and our gullet floats over the sea noiseless. We’ll find a splendid inlet for lunch and siesta (being lazy is not a sin !) Now we set sail to Baba Adasi, an island in front of the (touristic) sandy beach of Sarigerme. A walk on the island is a must : the views are spectacular, and on the top you will find the remains of an antic lighthouse.
Day 5
We hope you did not feel bored yet of sailing, because today, we head for Marmaris, a quite long distance. Enjoy the rocking of the boat, the sun, and, have a drink ! We arrive at Kumlu Bükü, a good place to swim and to snorkel.
Day 6
Marmaris ! The town to be if you want to shop or find a good restaurant. Everything is available here. You can visit the old castle or have a walk in the marina. As you prefer, we can stay for the night in Marmaris (disco’s are open !), or we can leave for a quiet bay.
Day 7
We leave for Ekincik, our last point. At arrival, we can call a river boat to guide you through the marches: to Caunos (Lycian remains) – along the rockgraves in the mountains - Dalyan (cosy little town) – the healing mud baths and the Carretta beach (famous for the turtles). Our last evening together ! We hope you doze off tonight with a feeling of “this was good”
Day 8
Sorry, you will have to leave us, but please remember : you will always be welcome again !
Güle güle !
