Fethiye Gulf

Fethiye sits at the head of one of the Mediterranean's great natural harbours — a wide, island-dotted gulf sheltered by pine-covered hills and the long sweep of the Lycian coast. It is the classic starting point for the "Twelve Islands" blue cruise, a gentle loop of bays and islets where you can swim, snorkel and anchor barely a few minutes apart.

A Fethiye Gulf charter packs an extraordinary amount into a short cruising range. Drop anchor below the Byzantine ruins of Gemiler (St Nicholas) Island, swim in the cool freshwater of Boynuzbükü, or tender ashore at Butterfly Valley beneath its waterfall and cliffs. Just outside the gulf lies Ölüdeniz, the turquoise blue lagoon that has become the emblem of the Turkish coast.

Whether you book a private gulet for the family or a cabin charter by the week, Fethiye Gulf offers calm, sheltered water, short hops between anchorages, and a backdrop of ancient Lycia — rock tombs, sunken cities and pine-scented bays, with Fethiye's lively marina and market waiting back in port.
