FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reach Olympos, Turkey?

You can reach Olympos by flying into either Antalya Airport or Dalaman Airport. The transfer from Antalya Airport takes approximately two hours, while the journey from Dalaman Airport takes around three and a half hours. Both airports are suitable options depending on your travel plans. For the fastest and most comfortable journey, you can arrange a private transfer directly from Antalya Airport to Olympos or from Dalaman Airport to Demre. To travel from Antalya by public transport, take a taxi from the airport to the main bus station, known as the Otogar, for around 5 euros. From there, take a bus heading toward Olympos. Tickets usually do not need to be purchased in advance, as the driver collects the fare on board. The journey takes approximately two and a half hours, including stops, and costs around 2 euros per person. From Dalaman Airport, take a short taxi ride to Dalaman Bus Station for approximately 3 euros, then travel by bus to Fethiye and transfer to another bus heading toward Olympos. Keep in mind that Dalaman Airport is smaller and has fewer daily flights, so it is best to plan your journey in advance.

Where does this cruise begin and end?

This cruise begins in Olympos / Demre and finishes in Fethiye. Please check the departure schedule and final travel documents for meeting and disembarkation details.

How does cabin sharing work?

Private single occupancy is not offered on this 3-night program. Solo guests should expect a shared-cabin arrangement according to the operator’s allocation policy.

Can I upgrade to a better cabin?

This trip includes accommodation in shared cabins. If available, you can upgrade to a private twin, double, or triple cabin with an ensuite bathroom.

Is it possible to change my departure date?

Yes, it is possible to change your departure date based on availability. A minor fee will be charged, and if the new date has a higher cost, you’ll need to cover the difference. Alternatively, you can transfer the amount you’ve already paid to another trip of equal or greater value, as long as it’s outside the notification period.

What type of boats are used for the sailing trips?

All of our boats are traditional gulet yachts, handcrafted in Southern Turkey. These two or three-masted sailing yachts are fully equipped with ensuite cabins, a professional kitchen, dining spaces, and deck mattresses for those who wish to sleep under the stars.

Will there be enough space for my luggage?

For your comfort and ease of movement inside the cabin, we suggest bringing a small or medium-sized suitcase or backpack.

Can I bring my own drinks on board?

Personal alcoholic and soft drinks are not permitted on board. Drinks can be purchased from the onboard bar and are not included in the cruise price.

What meals are included?

The cruise is full board and includes breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or coffee with cookies, and dinner. Please tell us about dietary requirements before departure.

Can I bring my own snacks and beverages on the boat?

Unfortunately, bringing your own drinks (including water) on board is not permitted. However, you’re welcome to bring snacks like peanuts, chips, cookies, and similar items.

Can I settle my bar bill using a credit card?

Please note that bar expenses must be paid in cash on the last day of the trip. Since ATMs may not be available at all ports, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. However, there’s no need to worry about withdrawing cash before the trip, as ATMs will be accessible in Kas Port town on the second day of the journey.

Are there power sockets available on the boat?

Some boats are equipped with power sockets in the cabins, while others have them only in the common salon area. These sockets are functional when the engine or generator is running.

Are towels provided?

Bed linen and bath towels are supplied. Beach towels are not provided, so please bring your own.

How long does the air conditioning operate?

Air conditioning normally operates for approximately 6–8 hours per day. Exact operating times are set by the captain according to conditions and the vessel’s systems.
