What is special about the Lycian coast?
The coast between Fethiye and Olympos was the land of the ancient Lycians, whose rock-cut tombs and ruins still appear above the water, from the sunken city at Kekova to the castle at Simena. Steep mountains drop straight into a sea of extraordinary clarity, and many bays can only be reached by boat, which is why a gulet is the best way to see them.
Which gulet cruise should you choose?
| Gulet cruise | Length | Route |
|---|---|---|
| This cruise | 4 days | Fethiye to Olympos, eastbound |
| Olympos to Fethiye | 4 days | The same coast, westbound |

All gulet cruises are quoted on request for your dates.
What optional activities can you add?
Paragliding from Babadag Mountain over Oludeniz and scuba diving in Kas are popular extras. If you are staying in Antalya instead, the Oludeniz tandem paragliding day trip starts from $399.
Is a gulet cruise good for first-timers?
Yes. You do not need any sailing experience; the captain and crew handle the boat and the cooking, and your days are about swimming, eating and relaxing. If you are prone to seasickness, the coastal route and sheltered anchorages help, and the gulet usually anchors in calm bays overnight.
When is the best time to go?
From late spring to autumn. June and September offer warm water and calmer harbours; July and August are hottest and busiest. Weather and sea conditions can change the itinerary; safety always comes first.
What should you pack?
A soft bag, swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water shoes, a light jacket for evenings, a snorkelling mask if you have one, and cash for drinks and shopping in Kas.
