Fethiye
Board your traditional gulet from 15:00 in Fethiye Harbour, where you’ll meet your sailing rep, captain and crew before settling into your cabin. Once everyone is onboard, the gulet gently departs the marina and begins its first cruise along the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. The journey starts with a relaxed sail to Tarzan Bay, a secluded spot surrounded by pine-covered hills and famously clear water. Take your first swim, swing into the sea from the ropes hanging from the trees, and ease into the rhythm of life at sea. As the sun sets, dinner is served on deck. Later, stretch out on the foredeck for stargazing and good conversation as the sound of the water gently laps against the hull — the perfect beginning to your Turkey sailing adventure.
