THE ITINERARY
Day 1: Sunday
FETHIYE to TARZAN BAY
Our sailing adventure begins from the vibrant and picturesque town of Fethiye, where the locally crafted Turkish gulets embark for a week full of sun along the Turkish coastline. ​
We check into our gulet in the afternoon where you will meet your fellow passengers and Koda Sail crew before setting sail to our first stop, Tarzan Bay.
Jump (or swing!) into the refreshing water for the first swim of the day and enjoy a delicious feast for dinner as we moor overnight in Tarzan bay
Day 2: Monday
TARZAN BAY to GOCEK ISLAND
Spend the day island-hopping through the beautiful Göcek archipelago, one of the highlights of sailing along the Turkish Riviera. Our first stop is the famous Cleopatra’s Bath, where legend says Marc Antony gifted Cleopatra a Roman bath built right on the shoreline.
​
From here we cruise to Bedri Rahmi Bay, known for its iconic rock-carved fish motif hidden among the cliffs. Continue on to Tersane (Shipyard) Island, where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters and explore the ruins scattered along the shoreline.
Later in the day we arrive in the stylish harbour town of Göcek. Take a stroll along the waterfront promenade, browse the boutique shops, or settle in at a local taverna to enjoy delicious meze and soak up the relaxed coastal atmosphere.
Day 3: Tuesday
GOCEK ISLAND to DALYAN
Anchor in the serene Ekincik Bay, where turquoise waters invite you to paddleboard or simply swim and relax. For those seeking adventure, join the optional Dalyan riverboat tour, glide through reed-lined channels, spot Caretta caretta turtles at Turtle Beach, admire the ancient Lycian cliff tombs, and indulge in the famous mineral mud baths.
Return to the gulet for a fresh seafood dinner on deck, enjoying the warm glow of a Mediterranean sunset.
Day 4: Wednesday
DALYAN to MARMARIS
Today we sail over to Kumlubuku Bay, which is overlooked by the ruins of the ancient settlement of Amos.
The hike up to this important historic site where there is an acropolis, an amphitheatre, a temple and an altar dedicated to Dionysus to explore, is also rewarded with spectacular views out over the bay. After your hike, enjoy a swim and some snorkelling in the crystal clear waters before we head over to the vibrant city of Marmaris.
​
More than fifty shades of green and blue can be seen around Marmaris and her abundance of bays. Marmaris is a natural port, with ancient cities, natural attractions and a marina for 800 boats, making it a paradise for tourists from around the world. We like to call it the Mykonos of Turkey as it is one of the most elegant yachting resorts along the Turkish Riviera.
​
Many choices of shops, cafes and restaurants can be found along the cute winding narrow streets of the town as well as some of the best clubs and bars in the region. The perfect destination for both photographers and nightlife lovers.
Day 5: Thursday
MARMARIS to BOZUKKALE
Depart Marmaris in the morning and sail to Kadirga Bay, perfect for a refreshing swim in turquoise waters or soaking up the sun on deck. Later, continue to Bozukkale, where we anchor for the night.
Spend the evening relaxing on board or wandering the peaceful surroundings, then enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars, soaking in the calm beauty of the Turkish coastline.
Day 6: Friday
BOZUKKALE to DATCA
Wake up in Palamutbükü, renowned for its crystal-clear waters that seem to stretch forever. Sail onward to Knidos, where you can explore ancient temples, theatres, and ongoing archaeological digs at this iconic classical headland.
In the late afternoon, arrive in Datça Old Town. Stroll through charming boutiques, enjoy a sunset drink, and soak in the warm, honey-coloured glow of the town before a peaceful night at anchor.
Day 7: Saturday
DATCA to BODRUM
