We will then begin our journey towards Turtle Beach, where you will have the opportunity to swim and observe 5 out of the 8 types of turtles found in the Mediterranean in their natural habitat.
In the afternoon, we will sail the Sunken City of Kekova, a UNESCO World Heritage Site we can explore as your captain slowly cruises above. From here, we’ll continue to visit Simena Castle. Take in the sweeping views across the coastline as you wander through the picturesque fishing village at its base, then re-board the Gulet as we cruise towards Pirate Cave. Here, we will anchor for the evening at Gokkaya Bay.

We’ll begin the day with a short cruise to Kas, including a stop to go swimming before we pull into the harbour. You’ll have the morning to explore this charming town at your leisure, with plenty of handicraft stores and souvenir shops to discover. Wander along the cobblestone streets or watch the world go by from one of the local cafes.
Most of our customers enjoy having lunch in Kas town. In the afternoon, we offer a Cooking Class on board where you can learn how to make Turkish Cheese Rolls and pancakes. You can then enjoy brunch with what you have cooked in the Cooking Class.
In the afternoon, we will depart Kas and continue towards Firnaz Bay, where we will anchor for the evening.

Enjoy another refreshing swim or take the opportunity to go paragliding off the mountain of Baba Dag, which is considered one of the best places in the world to enjoy this thrilling activity.
