Tersane Island & Sunken Bath Bay
Because of the wavy seas of Disibilmez and Kurtoglu capes that we have to cross, we will cruise earlier than the other days and reach the world-famous Gocek Gulf. We anchor at Tersane Island for breakfast and a swimming break. This naturally protected harbour was used as the shipyard in Byzantine and Ottoman times. Continue cruising to Manastir (Monastery) Bay. This place is also known as Cleopatra Bay or Sunken Bath Bay due to the beautiful underwater ruins of an old bath.

Fethiye
Arrive at Fethiye Harbour early in the morning of day 4. Fethiye, which was known as Telmessos in the ancient times, was the most important city situated on Lycia's western border with Caria. It is believed that the city's name comes from Apollo’s son Telmessos. As the name suggests, the city was the city of light and was famous for its prophets. We also offer the option of a jeep safari tour in Fethiye. For those who prefer not to join the Safari, the boat will cruise to Samanlik Bay for lunch and swimming. Afterwards, at around 16:00 the boat will anchor at Ece Saray Marina for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast on day 5, depart from Fethiye Harbour for Gocek Island. While moving through uniquely beautiful islands, we finally anchor at Yassica Islands. Lunch will be taken in this beautiful chain of little islands. Snorkeling in the crystal clear water is recommended.
