It is a unique crafted journey where each of 7 days begins on a private gulet Sea Lovers and unfolds on breathtaking cycling routes through the ancient land of Lycia. We explore turquoise bays, abandoned Greek villages, legendary mountain roads, pristine beaches, and vibrant seaside towns — all while enjoying the region’s rich history, nature, and gastronomy. It’s the perfect blend of sea, sun, culture, and adventure: an unforgettable week where the freedom of sailing meets the thrill of cycling.

Welcome to FETHIYE!
Our adventure begins in the charming coastal town of Fethiye. After individual arrivals, you settle into your cabin on our gulet Sea Lovers and meet the crew. Spend the afternoon exploring the old town, Fish Market, cafés by the sea or hike to Amyntas Rock Tomb for panoramic views. In the evening: welcome at our first dinner on board, surrounded by the lights of Fethiye Bay.

We cycle through the harbour and around the scenic Fethiye Peninsula, then head to Kayaköy — the atmospheric abandoned Greek village of Levissi. After lunch, we ride through orchards and pine forests down to Gemiler Bay, where our gulet awaits. Swim, relax, or take a short hike for sunset views on St. Nicholas Island before dinner on board.

Lunch at our favourite restaurant in Yediburunlar village, then we ride to the ancient city of Patara and end the day on its iconic golden beach. Transfer back to the yacht for a peaceful dinner in a hidden cove.

We sail early towards Kaş to enjoy breakfast in its deep-blue bay. After exploring this vibrant seaside town, we begin today’s ride — a challenging climb out of Kaş and a breathtaking coastal road leading toward Kekova, the sunken Lycian city. Back on the yacht: swimming, relaxing, and dinner surrounded by crystal-clear waters.

In the morning we sail back to Kaş and pass the water border of Türkiye and Greece. You’ll have time for a swim or a stroll before lunch. Later we start our ride along one the most stunning road of the Lycian coastline — finishing in Kalkan, where we rejoin our gulet for dinner.

Island Hopping & Swim Day
Hiking route:
Marti bay - Hamam cove 6 km, 800 m elevation
A slow, beautiful cruising day. We sail across the Fethiye Gulf toward hidden eastern bays and islands accessible only by boat. Plenty of time for swimming, sunbathing, relaxing, and enjoying the calm turquoise waters. We will celebrate our final night with dinner at an exquisite restaurant. The best time to relive and share the unforgettable moments of the past week.
Farewell
After the final breakfast, we return to Fethiye Harbour and say goodbye to the yacht and crew. We will organize onward transfers for you. We won’t say goodbye — we’ll say “see you soon!” As new adventures with us are already waiting for you!
