Overview

What does this 7 day itinerary cover?

A week-long yacht charter along Turkey's stunning Turquoise Coast, from Bodrum and Göcek to ancient Lycian ruins and pristine bays. It runs 7 days from Bodrum.

Turkey's Turquoise Coast is the Mediterranean's best-kept secret, dramatic pine-forested mountains plunging into impossibly blue water, ancient Lycian tombs carved into cliffsides, and a culinary tradition that rivals any in the world.

This 7-day itinerary takes you from cosmopolitan Bodrum through the pristine Göcek bays to hidden gems like Butterfly Valley and the sunken city of Kekova. Every anchorage feels like a private paradise.

Fully customisable. Extend to the Greek Dodecanese islands, add Antalya, or slow the pace for deeper exploration of the Göcek bays.
