On leaving the port we will have lunch and then cruise onto the Sunken City, an ancient town dating back 2000 years to the Lycian period and destroyed by an earthquake splitting the land into two. You will cruise parallel to the stone walls submerged in the sea, however, no swimming, diving, or snorkeling is allowed in this area as it is now a World Heritage site. Afterward, we will anchor down near Kalekoy, Kekova where you can walk to the top and witness a magical view over the bay from the castle. For the night we moor in Gokkaya Bay which is a well-known turtle breeding ground.

Today we cruise onto Kas, a fishing village built atop ancient ruins. Famous for its unique jewelry pieces and shopping, this town has beautiful cobbled streets with shops and cafes lining the alleyways. You will have plenty of time to explore and even head west of the village to see the ancient theatre. Optional Activity: Diving For those interested in the optional extra of scuba diving, you will be transferred out to the diving boat to dive in what is said to be the best place to dive in Southern Turkey. Depending on your experience you may be taken to marine life areas, canyons, caves, or even a wreck. We recommend pre-booking this optional activity online before your cruise to receive special discounted rates and also to guarantee your dive. After our time in Kas, we will cruise past Kalkan and anchor down for the night in the beautiful Aquarium Bay. Before sunset be sure to grab a snorkel and see some of the marine life in this area.

We start the last day, very quietly with a morning swim and our breakfast. After breakfast, we will sail this morning to the Babadag Mountain Range, looming cliffs leading into Butterfly Valley. Once we moor the gulet in Butterfly Valley, we will enjoy breakfast before giving ourselves free time to swim, relax or do the optional hike up to the waterfall. This area is named after the butterflies in the area so be sure to keep an eye out for the variety of butterflies and moths in the valley. Oludeniz, the most photographed beach in the world, is the next stop for today and it is here we will have lunch.
