A curious blend of old and new, todays Turkey combines simplicity and sophistication. Although Turkey is still less expensive than most Mediterranean destinations, crewed yacht charters turkeyfew others possess such a wealth of culture, history and intrigue. Enjoy delicious, exotic cuisine, meet the friendly locals and uncover hidden treasures in an Aladdins cave of bazaars where you can haggle for silver trinkets, spices and kilim rugs. Sunshine on moderate seas and constant winds virtually guarantee great sailing. Discover towns barely touched by tourism and beautiful bays still only accessible by yacht where fresh mountain rivers run down through deep, green forests to the sea.
Your Itinerary:
Day 1 - We arrange a punctual transfer from Dalaman airport to Göçek. This will take only 1/2 hour of driving. You see the first glimmer of Turkey along the way. Arriving at Göçek : we will be there to give you a warm sailing vacation Turkey welcome on board and show you your accommodation for the next week. Göçek is a small town, well known for his marina. Maybe you will want to make a walk in the marina or do some shopping. According the time of arrival this will be possible or not. After that we can leave and sail till one of the hundreds of wonderful bays in the area. After dinner and one or more drinks you can sleep under the protection of millions stars or safely in your cabin.
Day 2 - The sun and the smell of a tasty breakfast awake you. The sea is smooth as a mirror, and the fishes are swimming around the boat. We leave the cove and we depart to Fethiye, a town with lots of possibilities : shopping, relishing a Turkish bath, a visit to the rock grave of Amynthos, restaurants, cafés and discos, an authentic market a.s.o. Ladies, attention please: the hairdressers in Fethiye are SUPER (and really cheap). From here we can charter a minibus to bring you to Thlos, an ancient site and to Saklikent, a canyon with nearby the hidden paradise. No problem if nobody wants to make the excursion : the neighborhood has so many beautiful inlets, we can sail from one to another.
Day 3 - Early in the morning we leave for Oludeniz. crewed yachts turkeyEach one of you must have seen a postcard showing this splendid blue lagoon. As it is so beautiful, it is very touristic too. That is the reason of the early visit. After a swim or a climb on the mountain (unforgettable view) we head for the island Gemiler: you can make a walk and visit the ancient Byzantine remains. Another possibility: we can moor in a bay close to the ghost-city of Kayakoy: the brave ones can climb up to the mountain and feel the atmosphere of a town left by the people and frozen in time.
Day 4 - Maybe it will be possible to do some real sailing today, but this will depend the wind, of course. Well find a wonderful bay to lunch. A siesta (lets be lazy!) and we go on direction Kalkan. Before we reach Kalkan, we will moor in a quiet bay to enjoy the evening and the night.
Day 5 - Straight to Kalkan. Here you can have a good shopping-walk-swim, or there is a possibility for another excursion.
We can charter a minibus to visit: Letoon: a sacred place in the old days. Remains of 3 temples, one of them is in honour of Leto Zeus beloved. Xanthos: Once, the largest city in Lycian times Patara : famous because of the oracle, and the place of birth of St Nicholas. The theatre is half covered by the sand - After this we go direction Kas.

Restaurants shopping we can advise you a local (perfect & cheap) barber shop you will meet a well preserved sarcophagus in the Centrum. Before evening we will have to return journey. So we will moor somewhere on the way back in a quiet inlet.
