Board your gulet in Gocek harbour (20 minutes drive from Dalaman Airport) and head out of the harbour right away for a swim at Wall Bay 'Manastir'. Here you will find the ruins of Ancient Lydae, which present the perfect opportunity for a short evening stroll. Moor up in a secluded bay and enjoy your first dinner of local Turkish specialities on board, under the brilliant Turkish night sky.

Weigh anchor and head to a small bay from where you can walk over the hill to the eerie ghost town of Kayakoy. Then depart for St. Nicholas Island, supposedly the birthplace of Father Christmas, where you spend the afternoon snorkelling, swimming and relaxing. When the sun starts to cool in the evening, explore the Byzantine ruins on the island and walk up to the top to witness one of the most stunning sunsets in the Mediterranean.

Sail to Aperlae, which offers some of the best archaeological ruins in this part of Turkey, although this site can be tricky to reach if the sea is not calm. If calm, you will be able to swim inside and walk around ruins dating back to 400 B.C. Then cruise towards Kekova, passing along the way the underwater archaeological site of Simena. Anchor in front of Simena Castle. After lunch on board and a lazy afternoon, you may want to climb up to the castle before sunset to take in the panoramic view of the sweeping bay of Kekova.

Haul anchor and proceed to Ucagiz where you can wander around this small, peaceful fishing village. After lunch on board, the captain will set a course for Adali Bay, where you anchor for the evening. This bay is particularly good for star-gazing, especially during a full moon, and excellent for night-swimming among the phosphorescence of the Mediterranean.
