Day 1

Bodrum

Your charter will begin in Bodrum, one of Turkey’s most popular destinations and boasting one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The peninsula of Bodrum offers exclusive resorts, pretty coastal villages and a rugged coastline, surrounded by crystal-clear waters that make for a myriad of perfect swimming spots. Bodrum Town provides an elegant balance between modern tourism, tradition and tranquillity, with local open-air markets, buzzing shopping areas and a myriad of cool bars and restaurants along the promenade. Experience your first taste of local Turkish cuisine before heading on board your superyacht where luxury awaits.

Day 2

Knidos

The ancient city of Knidos was a key trading location for the Greek Empire during the Hellenistic period. This once very prosperous port city, dating back to 400 BC, now lies as ruins across the western side of the Datca Peninsula. After excavations began in 1857 important landmarks were identified including temples of Aphrodite, Dionysus and other muses, an 8000-seat Hellenistic Theatre and a sundial from the 4th Century BC. The rest of the peninsula surrounding the city consists of steep hillsides covered in olive, fruit and various nut trees, rising above two sparkling bays where you may spot a Mediterranean Monk Seal.

Day 3

Oren

Oren provides a unique blend of classic and sophisticated experiences in breathtaking scenery. Surrounded by mountains, the town itself was originally established on agriculture and weaving but is now loved by visitors from all over the world. Soak up the sun on this beautiful stretch of Turkish beach, and make the most of your yacht’s fleet of water toys. As evening falls, dine under the stars while sipping on delicious cocktails served by your private chef.

Day 4

Sedir Island

The next stop on your Turkish adventure is Sedir Island, also referred to as Cleopatra Island. It is rumoured that the perfect white sand, made from seashells and aside from Sedir found only in Egypt, was brought by boat specifically for Cleopatra herself. Sedir Island is the perfect place for snorkelling, scuba diving and water sports. Anchor in Cat Bay or English Harbour to enjoy a range of water-based activities, or discover a tranquil, isolated spot to enjoy a picnic personally prepared by your private chef.

Day 5

Datca

70 kilometres from the centre of Marmaris, Datca is the peninsula’s primary harbour town. Datca offers a peaceful escape and warm, friendly atmosphere attributed to the lack of focus on tourist attraction. Surrounded by lush, green foliage, follow one of the beautiful natural walks and pathways through native flora and fauna to explore, before stopping for a picnic overlooking the bay. Datca’s coastline provides a tranquil cruising ground and myriad of serene coves set into the cliffs to anchor and escape the hustle of everyday life.

Day 6

Bozburun

An increasingly popular destination for yachts, Bozburun is a quaint and rustic village that epitomises Turkey at its finest. Known for its thyme honey, sponge fishing and other agricultural produce, the brilliant blue waters around the corner from the harbour are idyllic surroundings that have attracted yachts in recent years. Enjoy the coastal views from a local restaurant or bar before heading back to your private yacht for an evening sunset cruise around some of the nearby coves along the shore.

Day 7

Marmaris

Marmaris is a treasure of the Turquoise Coast and steeped in both character and beauty. Glassy waters wash gently against a pebble beach, crowned by a bustling coastal promenade.

This quaint image is juxtaposed by a heady open-air nightlife, with this dynamic resort town ready to show guests a good time.

Day 8

Fethiye is located on the ancient site of Telmessos, with the cliffs above containing the ruins of spectacular rock tombs. A charming, lively town on the banks of one of Turkey’s most magnificent natural harbours, Fethiye is a popular stop for yacht charters. With a smattering of expensive cafes and restaurants, gorgeous natural scenery, and a harbor studded with attractive tiny islands – notably övalye Adas, which appeared in the film SkyFall – this is an ideal superyacht cruising ground.

Day 10

Kalkan

Kalkan’s old town is extremely fascinating; this charming and completely untouched sanctuary is comprised of a delightful crystal-clear sea, lush greenery and stunning Turkish architecture.

Soak up the sun in this laid-back Mediterranean town, head to the beach or wander through the local markets and get a feel for the Turkish culture.

Day 12

Gocek

The next stop on your charter is the stunning coastal town of Gocek. Cruise into harbour in the beautiful bay and admire the surrounding hills covered with lush forestry. Various islands and bays can be seen in every direction and show visitors a truly unspoilt Mediterranean, where crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches coexist with pine forests. Local cuisine can be found at one of the many restaurants and cafes that line the water’s edge. On another day in paradise, end your day by sipping a cocktail and admiring the sunset.

Day 13

Bozukkale

Cruise to a remote stretch of coastline on the southern tip of the Bozburun peninsula, and discover the ruins of an ancient citadel known as Bozukkale. Turkish for “broken castle,” these stunning ruins and lovely yachting anchorage offer a tranquil and sheltered harbour with crystal clear seas. The bay is home to sea turtles and a great place to see the local pod of dolphins that live along this stretch of coastline.
