This private gulet route runs from Göcek to Göcek in an 8-day itinerary, covering the bays of Göcek and the Gulf of Fethiye. Stops include Kille Bükü, Sarsala Bay, Cleopatra's Bath, Göbün Bay, Yavansu Bay, Tersane Island and the Yassıca Islands. The captain adapts the route to wind and weather.
It suits families, first-timers and couples who want a relaxed week of swimming and anchoring in quiet bays. The sheltered anchorages keep the mood calm, and the islands offer swimming as well as gentle walks. Gulets for this route are listed under Göcek gulet charter.
Day 1 - Göcek
Arrive in Göcek and spend the afternoon exploring this charming coastal town before boarding your gulet. There is time for leisurely shopping and local attractions.
Talk to your chef about any special dishes you would like on the voyage that are not on the itinerary. In the evening, dine on board while the gulet rests in the marina or in a bay, and enjoy your first night under the stars.
Day 2 - Kille Bükü – Bedri Rahmi Bay
Anchor at Kille Bükü, a secluded cove near Fethiye with soft sand and gentle waves. It is ideal for swimming and sunbathing, and as it is reached mainly by boat, it stays calmer than the busier beaches.
Continue to Bedri Rahmi Bay, also called Taşyaka and known as Dark Bay since Lycian times. The bay is named after the author and painter Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, who drew a fish on the rock at its entrance during a fishing trip in 1973. That rock is now called Fish Rock. The bay is very sheltered, with pine, olive and oleander framing the clear water.
Day 3 - Sarsala Bay – Cleopatra's Bath
Sarsala Bay is a favourite with yachtsmen for its swimming and calm overnight anchorage. A lush valley winds inland through dense forest, ideal for nature walks. The beach is mostly stony, so bring suitable footwear.
Cleopatra's Bath is a bay near Göcek where the partly submerged ruins of ancient baths lie in calm, crystal-clear water. According to legend, Mark Antony gave these baths to Cleopatra as a wedding gift, and a spring here is said to benefit the skin.
Day 4 - Göbün Bay – Yavansu Bay
Göbün Bay lies near Göcek, surrounded by lush greenery and rugged cliffs. It is relatively secluded, which makes it a good escape from the crowds.
Yavansu Bay sits near Fethiye, with turquoise water and gentle green hills. It is a peaceful place to swim and relax, away from the busier coves.
Day 5 - Domuz Island – Tersane Island
Domuz Island lies just off the Fethiye coast. Its name means "pig" in Turkish. Rocky landscapes, clear water and hidden coves make it a good destination for nature lovers, with hiking on the island.
Tersane Island, near Göcek, was once home to ancient shipyards, and old ruins still reflect its seafaring past. Walk the scenic trails, swim, or relax on the beach.
Day 6 - Yassıca Islands
The Yassıca Islands in the Gulf of Fethiye are a group of uninhabited islands with secluded beaches, ideal for swimming, exploring and leisurely sailing. Some are so close together that you can swim from one to the next.
The beaches are stony, so bring suitable footwear. Family-friendly water sports make for daytime fun. Stay for sunset, when the sky transforms and the scenery becomes especially romantic.
