Unknown Turkey - view from the boat

Day 1.
Marmaris is a beautiful coastal city that needs no introduction. Upon arrival, we'll take a leisurely walk along the sea promenade and explore the medieval fortress. Afterward, we'll stock up on provisions and board the yacht to set sail towards the neighboring village of Icmeler.
Often referred to as the "Turkish Venice," Icmeler offers a network of small canals where tour boats meander through thickets of azaleas. From the observation deck, we can admire the stunning confluence of the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas.
Our first night will be spent anchored in the tranquil waters of Icmeler's bay, with the stunning coastline as our backdrop.

Day 2.
After spending the first night near the coast of Icmeler, we'll set sail towards our next destination - Sarigerme. This 7 km long beach is one of the finest in Turkey and has been awarded the Blue Flag for its exceptional quality. On the coast, there's a pine and olive grove, and a variety of water activities are available.
A NATO navy training base is located nearby, which can be an interesting sight to see.
Opposite the beach, there's a stunning rocky island called Baba Adasi, where you can indulge in luxurious diving and snorkeling experiences.

Day 3.
We will arrive in Fethiye, surrounded by pine groves.
Visit the ruins of Fethiye Castle, Roman Amphitheatre, and City Museum to explore Lycian culture. Browse souvenir shops and enjoy inexpensive restaurants on the promenade. Replenish your seafood supply at the fish market and indulge in oriental sweets.
Nearby, explore unique Lycian tombs carved into rocks above the Dalyan River, a preserved ancient castle, and the ghost village of Kayakoy with five hundred empty stone houses left by Greek inhabitants over a century ago.

Day 4.
In the morning, we will have the opportunity to feed the Caretta Caretta sea turtles before setting sail from Fethiye.
Our next destination is Oludeniz, known as the paragliding capital, where we can witness paragliders soaring over the sandy beach, turquoise lagoon, and lush green surroundings. Another highlight of the area is the picturesque Butterfly Valley accessible only by water. Our dinghy will take us to explore this beautiful gorge. We will anchor the yacht for the night and enjoy the scenic view of Oludeniz at night.

Day 5.
In the morning we'll sail to the coast of Gemiler Island, also known as the island of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. Here, you can explore the ruins of several temples that were built at the dawn of Christianity and visit the church that is carved into the rock.
Afterward we'll pass by twelve incredible islands and decide together where we want to anchor, near Kyzyl, Delikli, Yassica, or Domuz. We'll also stop at the bay of Cleopatra's Baths, where the Egyptian queen loved to rest.

Day 6.
Our next stop is Ekincik Bay, where we can indulge in delicious blue crabs at affordable prices. The bay is also famous for its natural Sultaniye spa, where the goddess Aphrodite was believed to have visited. The ancient Romans also frequented the radon baths here, and today, we can take mud baths in the thermal springs.
Iztuzu Beach is also a must-visit, where we can witness the huge sea turtles Caretta Caretta and their babies in their natural habitat.

Day 7.
On our last day we'll say goodbye to the yachts that have been our home for the past week. Before leaving, we'll have some time to explore the local markets and shops to pick up some souvenirs and gifts for loved ones.
Although our adventure has come to an end, the memories we've made and the experiences we've had will stay with us forever.
