This private gulet route runs from Göcek to Marmaris and back to Göcek in an 8-day itinerary, through the Gulf of Fethiye and the bays between Marmaris and Dalyan. Stops include Ağa Port, Gökgemile Bay, Kadırga Port, Bozukkale, Marmaris, Ekincik Bay, Tersane Island and Göbün Bay. The captain adapts the route to wind and weather.
It suits families, first-timers and couples who want a mix of swimming, nature and history. Bozukkale and the ancient city of Lyda bring historic sites into the plan, while river boats from Ekincik Bay reach Iztuzu Beach, which is closed at night to protect turtle nesting. Gulets for this route are listed under Göcek gulet charter and Marmaris gulet charter.
Day 1 - Göcek – Aga Port
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, and a chance to talk to your chef about any dishes you would like on the voyage.
Anchor at Aga Port, twin bays in the Gulf of Fethiye that suit anchoring, swimming, fishing and sunbathing. Underwater freshwater springs keep the water refreshingly cool, and the sea is remarkably clear. A scenic one-hour walk inland leads to the ancient city of Lyda, with lush landscapes and archaeological ruins. Dinner is served on board.
Day 2 - Gökgemile Bay – Kadırga Port
Gökgemile Bay lies a short sail from Ölüdeniz. Its turquoise water and green surroundings invite swimming and lounging on the shore. A brief hike to the top rewards you with panoramic views of the nearby coves and the olive-covered mountains.
Kadırga Port lies on the route between Fethiye and Marmaris. This secluded bay has crystal-clear water and lush surroundings. It was once a strategic harbour for the Ottoman navy and today offers a peaceful spot for swimming and enjoying nature.
Day 3 - Bozukkale (Loryma) – Marmaris
Bozukkale (Loryma) is an ancient town set in a heart-shaped bay, with a historic nine-towered castle. It lies southwest of Marmaris and was once the ancient harbour of Loryma, used as a strategic base by the Athenian navy. Views over the Aegean make it a memorable stop.
Marmaris is a lively coastal town known for its beaches and nightlife. Its marina is full of yachts and traditional wooden boats, the bazaar is good for local crafts and souvenirs, and historic sites such as Marmaris Castle add to its character.
Day 4 - Ekincik Bay – Dalyan
Ekincik Bay, between Marmaris and Dalyan, is where the gulet anchors. From there, river boats run up the Dalyan channel to the Lycian rock tombs, the ruins of Kaunos and Iztuzu Beach, a blend of pebbles and sand that is closed at night to protect loggerhead turtle nesting grounds. By day, the anchorage is a quiet escape with only a handful of yachts nearby.
Ekincik Bay also offers water sports, and a brisk walk along the western banks of the Dalyan Delta may bring you close to wild boars.
Day 5 - Tersane Island – Domuz Island – Göbün Bay
Tersane Island, also known as Shipyard Island, is one of the largest islands in the Gulf of Fethiye. Its bay has a 100-metre-deep channel that once served the Ottoman navy, and it is dotted with coves. The eastern side hosts the Summer Harbour, while the western part is quieter because strong winds blow for much of the year. Nearby, you can explore the ancient ruins of Telandria.
Domuz Island lies just off the Fethiye coast. Its name means "pig" in Turkish, and its rocky landscapes and clear water suit hiking and discovering hidden coves. Göbün Bay, near Göcek, is surrounded by greenery and rugged cliffs and is relatively secluded.
Day 6 - Yavansu Bay – Cleopatra's Bath – Sarsala Bay
Yavansu Bay, near Fethiye, has turquoise water, gentle green hills and a peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds.
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.
Sarsala Bay is a favourite with yachtsmen for swimming and overnight anchoring. A lush valley winds inland through dense forest, ideal for nature walks, and the mostly stony beach calls for suitable footwear.

Day 7 - Bedri Rahmi Bay – Kille Bükü – Yassıca Islands
Bedri Rahmi Bay, also called Taşyaka, was known as Dark Bay in Lycian times. It is named after the author and painter Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, who drew a fish on a rock at the entrance during a 1973 fishing trip; the rock is now called Fish Rock. The bay is very sheltered, and pine, olive and oleander frame the clear azure water.
Kille Bükü is a secluded cove near Fethiye with soft sand and gentle waves, reached mainly by boat. The Yassıca Islands in the Gulf of Fethiye are uninhabited and ideal for swimming and sailing. Family-friendly water sports are available, and it is worth staying for sunset.
Day 8 - Göcek
Leave the boat by 10:00 after breakfast. The tour ends in Göcek, with memories of ancient ruins, sunny beaches and quiet bays to take home.
