Kaş
We welcome you aboard in Kaş Harbour at 16:00, where your Kaş blue cruise experience begins. After completing harbour procedures, we cruise a short distance to Hidayet Bay, our peaceful anchorage for the night.
Hidayet Bay is one of Kaş’s best spots for snorkelling and crystal-clear swimming, with vibrant marine life and excellent visibility. For confident free divers, there’s also a military tank resting around 13 metres, placed as an artificial reef within this protected marine area. Even if you’re staying on the surface, the water is so clear you can still enjoy the view from above, making it a memorable first evening as you sail Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coastline.
Sail to inönü
After breakfast, we set course for İnönü Bay, a classic stop on a Kaş–Kekova blue cruise and the perfect place to swim in calm, clear water before lunch.
We’ll serve a fresh, Turkish-style lunch on board in İnönü Bay, featuring seasonal vegetables cooked the local way, alongside rice, bulgur, pasta, and breads. After you’ve eaten and had time for another dip, we continue on toward Akar Boğazı, cruising through some of the most beautiful coastline as you sail Turkey.
Whenever conditions allow, we’ll hoist the sails for a smoother, quieter journey—sailing is always weather-dependent, but we’ll take every opportunity to enjoy it.
Kekova-Sunken City
After breakfast, we cruise toward the Kekova Sunken City, one of the most iconic highlights of a Turkey blue cruise. This ancient settlement was partially submerged after earthquakes in the 2nd century, leaving visible ruins along the shoreline and beneath the waterline. Because the area is protected, swimming and diving are not permitted here, so we’ll pass slowly to give you the best views from the deck of Cheers Gulet and plenty of time for photos.
Next, we anchor in Katır Bay for lunch, followed by a relaxed afternoon of swimming and sunbathing in clear, calm waters. Around 16:00, we cruise on to Karaloz Bay, a peaceful anchorage known for some of the most pristine nature in the Kekova region, where we’ll spend the night.
Demre-St. Nicolas
After breakfast, we cruise into Çayağzı Port and arrive around 11:00, an ideal gateway for exploring the cultural heart of the Kekova–Demre coastline. From here, you can join an optional shore tour to visit two of the region’s most famous landmarks: the Church of St. Nicholas (Demre) and the breathtaking ancient city of Myra.
Myra is a remarkable Lycian-era site, best known for its impressive ancient amphitheatre and the dramatic rock-cut tombs carved high into the cliffs behind it, dating back to the 4th century B.C. It’s a large, atmospheric archaeological area and a real highlight for guests who want more than just swimming on their Turkey sailing holiday. Historically, Myra also served as a key port stop in the Middle Ages for pilgrims traveling by sea, and the Church of St. Nicholas became an important pilgrimage destination for believers.
After your city visit, we return to the boat and head to Çamlık Bay for a peaceful overnight stay, surrounded by nature and calm waters.
Simena castle-Üçağız-Kekova
After breakfast, we anchor off Kaleköy (Simena), home to the famous Simena Castle and one of the most photogenic stops on a Kekova blue cruise. With its ancient history and postcard-perfect setting, Kaleköy is often called the pearl of the region. Dating back to the 4th century BC, this protected village has strict building restrictions, which helps preserve its timeless, untouched character.
Guests who wish to go ashore can stroll through the charming lanes, browse local souvenirs, and enjoy fresh juices and ice cream before climbing up to Simena Castle for spectacular views over Kekova’s turquoise bays.
After lunch in Kaleköy, we continue to Üçağız to show you the village and its peaceful harbour atmosphere. Later, we sail on and anchor in Gökkaya Bay for our overnight stay, a beautiful spot to relax under the stars on your sail Turkey journey.
Kekova-Gökkaya bay
After breakfast, the morning is yours in Gökkaya Bay. You can join optional water sports, enjoy a relaxed swim, or stay on deck and try spotting sea turtles as they surface to breathe in the calm water.
After lunch, we cruise to Sıcak Bay, a peaceful spot known for its clear sea and quiet atmosphere. If you’re feeling active, there’s an optional short walk to Aperlai, an ancient Lycian city founded in the 4th century BC. You can still see sections of the Roman-era city walls, including tower remains positioned at strategic points along the coastline.
We spend the night anchored near Sıcak Island, ending the day in a calm bay under the stars on your Turkey blue cruise.
Kaş-Liman Ağzı
After breakfast at Sıcak Island, we cruise to Limanağzı Bay, a protected area within the Kaş marine reserve and one of the best spots on a Kaş blue cruise for clear-water snorkelling. Keep an eye out for sea turtles and passing schools of amberjack, with excellent visibility that makes every swim feel like an underwater safari.
After lunch, we return to Kaş Harbour and anchor around 17:00 for our overnight stay in port. Spend the evening exploring this lively coastal town, with time for boutique shopping, seaside cafés, and a relaxed stroll through the old streets. If you’re up for history, Kaş also offers Lycian tombs and a Hellenistic theatre with panoramic views across the Mediterranean toward the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo)—a perfect finale to another day as you sail Turkey’s spectacular coastline.
Kaş
After a final breakfast on board, it’s time to say goodbye with a camera roll full of turquoise bays and a head full of unforgettable moments from your Kaş blue cruise on Cheers Gulet. Our crew will help you disembark smoothly and assist with your transfer plans.
