Olympos -Demre - Gokkaya Bay - Kas - St Nicholas island-Fethiye
Fethiye to Olympos Cabin Charters The Olympos to Fethiye four day cruise is not only a great way to see this part of the turquoise Turkish coast but also to meet new friends on board a standard Turkish gulet.
While it may only seem like a short time to be on a cruise you will fit so much in it will feel like you were on a longer cruise. Snorkelling and exploring the wonders of Pirates Cave is a great way to get your cruising experience underway.
The history of the Sunken City which dates back to the Lycian period will amaze, and while it is World Heritage site so no swimming, diving or snorkelling is allowed we will cruise over the top and get the best view from Simena Castle shortly afterwards.
You will get to take in the delights of Yaglica Bay, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Butterfly Valley, laze on Europe's most photographed beach, Oludeniz and make a splash with plenty of water sport activities at St Nicholas Island.
