About the excursion

Spend a whole day sailing around Fethiye's 12 Islands, swimming in the turquoise water of one bay after another. The boat cruises past wild coastline, forests and old ruins, with lunch and music on board.

Highlights

  • Red Island
  • Shipyard Island
  • Flat Islands
  • Yassıca Island

Full description

The Gulf of Fethiye and neighboring Göcek are dotted with small islands, and tour boats hop between them all day. The water is crystal clear in shades of turquoise and blue, you can see the seabed near the shore, and the islands themselves are almost untouched by development.

Shipyard Island, the largest in the gulf, has ruins of houses, churches and fortifications from Ottoman times along its shore, plus a small lake-like cove where ships were once built. Red Island takes its name from its pinkish sand and pebbles. It's covered in pine and laurel forest, home to wild goats and hares, and has a little lighthouse on the shore.

The Flat Islands are actually a whole cluster of islets, famous for Aquarium Bay with its perfectly clear water and a salt lake about one and a half meters deep in the middle of the archipelago. Knight Island in Fethiye, also known as Şövalye Island, once served as a stronghold for the Knights and sits right across from town, yet it's wonderfully peaceful.

Deliktaş Island, also called Domuz, was named after the wild boars that once lived here and is now a great spot for diving and snorkeling. Zeytin Island is known for its locally made olive oil, an old olive oil mill from the Ottoman era and Byzantine ruins scattered along the shore.

The trip ends at Cleopatra Bay and beach, where ancient baths and mud baths survive. Legend has it Mark Antony gave this spot to the Egyptian queen. Keep an eye on the water during the day, as dolphins and sea turtles are often spotted.

Tour program

  1. Transfer to the harbor
    We pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned bus and take you to Fethiye harbor. The pickup time depends on your hotel and will be shown in your e-voucher once the local organizer confirms your booking.
  2. Departure
    The yacht leaves the pier at 10:15 and heads for the islands of Fethiye Bay. The crew will walk you through the route and show you where to find the shower, changing cabins, toilets and bar on board. The upper deck has sun loungers and a shaded area under an awning.
  3. Islands and bays
    During the day, the yacht stops at five or six of the following islands: Tersane (Shipyard Island), Kızılada (Red Island), Yassıca Islands (Flat Islands), Şövalye Island (Knight's Island), Deliktaş and Zeytin. The order of visits depends on the weather and on how many boats are following the same route. The captain usually tries to choose a route and swimming stops where there are as few other boats as possible.
  4. Lunch on board
    After swimming, a full lunch of Turkish dishes cooked by the chefs on board is served. Lunch is included in the price of the boat trip. For the main course, you can choose grilled chicken or fish, served with pasta or French fries and a seasonal salad. Drinks on board can be ordered from the bar at an extra charge. Drink prices are roughly the same as in Fethiye's cafés and bars.
  5. Return to the harbor
    At around 17:00, the boat returns to Fethiye harbor, where minibuses will be waiting to take you back to your hotels within 30 minutes.
