What is a gulet cruise?
A gulet is a traditional wooden sailing boat of the Turkish coast, fitted with cabins, a shaded deck and space for sunbathing. A "Blue Cruise" on a gulet means several days moving slowly from bay to bay, swimming several times a day, eating fresh meals prepared on board and sleeping at anchor in quiet coves. It is one of the most relaxing ways to see the Mediterranean.
What is the 4-day route?
| Day | Route |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Pick-up in Olympos; Kekova Sunken City; overnight at Gokkaya Bay |
| Day 2 | Breakfast and a swim at Limanagzi Bay; Kas; Aquarium Bay |
| Day 3 | Butterfly Valley; the Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz; St. Nicholas Island |
| Day 4 | Breakfast at Tarzan Bay; a final swim at Samanlik Bay; arrival in Fethiye |

Olympos to Fethiye or Fethiye to Olympos?
The same coast in opposite directions. Choose this westbound route if you start your holiday near Antalya and want to finish in Fethiye or near Dalaman Airport; choose the Fethiye to Olympos cruise if you start in Fethiye. For a longer trip, compare the 7-day Fethiye and Kekova gulet cruise or the 8-day Fethiye to Bodrum cruise.
Gulet cruise or day trips?
| Experience on the coast | Price from |
|---|---|
| This 4-day gulet cruise | On request |
| Kekova Sunken City and Myra day trip from Antalya | $120 |
| Suluada island boat tour from Antalya | $50 |
| Oludeniz tandem paragliding from Antalya | $399 |
A gulet lets you sleep in the bays that day-trippers only visit for an hour, and wake up to calm water before the day boats arrive.
What optional activities are there?
Along the way you can add water sports and, near Oludeniz, paragliding from Babadag Mountain. Entrance fees to sites such as Myra are not included.
When is the best time for a gulet cruise?
The gulet season runs from late spring to autumn. June and September are ideal, with warm water and fewer crowds; July and August are the hottest and busiest. The itinerary can change with weather and sea conditions.
What should you pack?
A soft bag rather than a hard suitcase, swimwear, a towel, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water shoes, a light layer for evenings on deck and some cash for drinks and shopping in Kas.
