Family gulet cruise itinerary

Day 1: Our gulet is about 30 minutes from Dalaman airport at Göcek, a pretty harbour beneath mountains at the head of the Bay of Fethiye. Welcome dinner on board.

Day 2: We sail east to begin this family vacation, to the island of Gemiler, with its superb Byzantine churches, pilgrimage centre for St Nicholas. The area is perfect for swimming and snorkelling.

Day 3: We sail on to Kas, a beautiful village of white-washed houses covered with purple bougainvillea. Ancient Antiphellos lies littered in amongst the modern town: stunning sarcophagi and a theatre with a magnificent sea view.

Day 4: East to the spectacular village of Ucagiz, old Teimiussa, one of the most evocative of all Lycian burial sites.

Day 5: West to fascinating Kale, site of ancient Simena, perched beneath a melee of Lycian tombs and an Ottoman fort. One of the most romantic settings of the holiday.

Day 6: We set off west for pretty Kalkan. Inland to Xanthus, the great capital of ancient Lycia, where excavations are uncovering a vast monumental city.

Day 7: A last dip before sailing into Fethiye. A visit to Telmessus’ massive cliff face tombs and a final chance to shop. A fitting end to this inspirational family holiday.

Day 8: Transfer from our gulet back to Dalaman airport.
