A crewed gulet charter voyage
Türkiye — Carian & Lycian Coast charter itinerary
Bodrum to Göcek — 10 Nights
Ten nights running the whole Turkish coast from Bodrum to Göcek: the Carian peninsulas and their boatbuilding villages first, then east past Dalyan to the Lycian shore, as far as Kaş, before turning back into the pine-ringed islands of the Gulf of Göcek for the last two nights. Sixteen anchorages, with the longest days deliberately set either side of the quietest ones.

Board in the afternoon beneath the floodlit Castle of St Peter, the bazaar and the waterfront a step from the quay. A first night alongside in Milta Marina before turning west in the morning.
Ashore nearbyZeki Muren Arts Museum · Bodrum Castle · LİNAM RESTAURANT · sultan bahçe restaurant
Day 2
Knidos & Datça
Sail west to the very tip of the peninsula, where a ruined Greek city stands above two natural harbours — lunch at anchor, then the amphitheatre, the temples and a swim beneath the lighthouse. Back east in the afternoon to Datça for the night, with its twin bays and a harbour lined with cafes.
Ashore nearbyOld Datca Houses · Datça Meydan · ÖMER USTA DATÇA · Baba Lokantası
Day 3
Selimiye & Bozburun
A late morning at Selimiye, a deep bay watched over by an Ottoman fort with a row of waterfront restaurants that draw boats from all along the gulf — anchor off for lunch and a swim. On to Bozburun for the night: the spiritual home of the Turkish gulet, with yards still turning out hulls along the shore.
Ashore nearbyLarymna-Loryma · Papatya Ev Yemekleri · Karia patisserie
Day 4
Serçe Limanı
A short hop south to a near-landlocked inlet entered through a hidden gap in the cliffs, ringed with pine and completely still. The site of the 11th-century Glass Wreck now in Bodrum, and one of the most sheltered overnight anchorages on this coast — a deliberately easy day.
Ashore nearbySerçe Limanı · Sailor's House Restaurant
Day 5
Ekincik & Dalyan
East across the gulf to a broad pine-backed bay, with the day given over to the river. Local boats run up the Dalyan delta past the Lycian rock tombs to Kaunos and the turtle beach at İztuzu.
Ashore nearbyEkincik Gara Ali Et ve Balık Restaurantı · My Marina Yacht Club
Day 6
Ağa Limanı
Into the Gulf of Fethiye and a wide, quiet bay on its western shore, well away from any road. Room to swing, good holding, and easy swimming off the beach.
Day 7
Kalkan
The long run east along the Lycian shore, mountains falling straight into deep blue water the whole way. Kalkan climbs its hillside above a small harbour in whitewash and bougainvillea, with the best dinner terraces of the trip.
Ashore nearbyTaş Ocağı Koyu · Kalkan Seyir Terası · Pello Kalkan Cafe & Breakfast · BLUE TERRACE RESTAURANT COCTAIL CAFE BAR & LOUNGE.
Day 8
Kaş
An easy morning to the prettiest town on the coast — Lycian sarcophagi standing in the streets, a harbour full of small boats, Meis a mile offshore. A whole afternoon ashore, or run out to the sunken city at Kekova.
Ashore nearbyKas photo spot · Kaş Old town · Olive Garden Kaş Kahvaltı · Etna Fish House
Day 9
Kelebekler Vadisi & Ölüdeniz
Turning back west, stopping beneath the sheer walls of Butterfly Valley — a gorge that opens on a single strip of beach reachable only from the sea, with a waterfall walk inland. On to Ölüdeniz for the night, anchored off Belcekız with Babadağ behind and paragliders coming off the mountain all evening; the lagoon itself is a protected park, so the night is spent on the seaward side.
Day 10
Gemiler, Tersane & Kleopatra Hamamı
Three short hops through the islands. Gemiler first, for the ruins of five Byzantine churches and the covered processional way climbing to the summit, best walked early; then lunch at anchor off Tersane Adası, with its deserted Greek village and old shipyard sheds. The last night at Kleopatra Hamamı, moored over the submerged walls of a Roman bath house you can swim down to and stand in.
Ashore nearbyManzara Noktası · Sarsala Bay · Yörükoğlu Gözleme · KÖYLÜM TUĞBA GÖZLEME EVİ
Day 11
Göcek — disembarkation
A short morning hop into Göcek and alongside at Club Marina. Breakfast on board, then the coffee houses and plane trees of the village before the transfer.
Ashore nearbyGöcek · Municipality of Gocek Marina · Nena Lounge Göcek · Latife Meyhane Göcek
