Our Olympos to Fethiye cruise 3 nights / 4 days includes many hidden bays and beautiful overnight stays with lots of time for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing on deck. With a new stop each day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After your transfer from Olympos we depart Demre harbour (Andriake Port).
We welcome you aboard Cheers Gulet at Demre Harbour at 14:00, and set off straight away for the northern side of Kekova Island. Your journey begins with a slow cruise past the legendary Sunken City, where you can view the partially submerged ruins of Dolchiste/Dolikisthe (an ancient settlement believed to have been damaged by earthquakes in the 2nd century). We’ll pass gently to give you the best views from the deck, with the coastline revealing ancient stonework both above and below the waterline.
Next, we continue to Kaleköy (Simena), one of the signature highlights of any Kekova blue cruise. Here you’ll have time to go ashore, wander the charming village, and visit Simena Castle for panoramic views over the turquoise bays and islands.
By late afternoon, we cruise on to Gökkaya Bay for dinner and our overnight stay. This lively anchorage is a guest favourite for optional water sports, and after dinner on board, you can cap off the evening with a visit to the fun, floating Smuggler’s Inn Bar.
We depart early from Gökkaya Bay and cruise toward Kaş, with a peaceful breakfast stop in a nearby bay. Enjoy a quick morning swim in clear water, the perfect reset after a fun night out at Smugglers.
Around 10:00, we arrive at Kaş Harbour, where you’ll have around two hours of free time to explore this charming coastal town, browse boutiques, and enjoy the waterfront cafés before we set sail again.
In the afternoon, we head north toward Kalkan, anchoring in beautiful Fırnaz Bay for a relaxed swim, sunset views, and dinner on board. We’ll spend our second night here, tucked into a calm bay on the Turkish Riviera as you continue your sail Turkey experience.
We set off early at 05:00, cruising north toward Butterfly Valley, one of the most iconic highlights along the Fethiye coastline. Because this stop is in open water, it’s weather-dependent and always at the captain’s discretion, but we’ll do our best to reach it whenever conditions allow for a safe and comfortable visit.
At Butterfly Valley, you can swim in the crystal-clear sea or hike into the dramatic gorge for a nature-filled break before we continue past the world-famous Ölüdeniz lagoon, taking in the sweeping views from the deck as you sail Turkey.
For our final night on board, we anchor at Gemiler Island. This stunning setting combines calm bays with fascinating archaeological ruins on shore. Take a sunset walk among the remnants of ancient history, then return to the gulet as we prepare your dinner, ending the day with unforgettable views over the Mediterranean.
After breakfast at Gemiler Island, we continue north toward Fethiye, with a final lunch and swim stop at Samanlık Bay. Enjoy one last dip in the turquoise water, soak up the sunshine, and take in the coastline as we sail back into harbour.
We arrive in Fethiye Harbour and say goodbye at 14:00, bringing your Turkey blue cruise on Cheers Gulet to a close. We hope you leave with a camera full of sunsets and a head full of unforgettable memories.
