How do I reach Fethiye, Turkey?

To reach Fethiye, you can fly into either Antalya Airport or Dalaman Airport. Antalya Airport is approximately a three-hour transfer from Fethiye, while the journey from Dalaman Airport takes around one and a half hours. For a more comfortable and convenient journey, you can arrange a private transfer directly from either airport to Fethiye. To travel by public bus from Antalya, take a taxi from the airport to the main bus station, known as the Otogar, for approximately 5 euros. From there, take a bus to Kaş and then transfer to another bus heading to Fethiye. Tickets are often sold directly on the bus by the driver, and the journey from Antalya to Fethiye costs around 6 euros per person. The bus ride to Kaş may take between three and a half and four hours due to stops, followed by another journey of approximately two hours to Fethiye. Dalaman Airport is another nearby option, although it is relatively small and has limited flights. From Dalaman Airport, you can take a taxi to the Dalaman bus station for approximately 3 euros, followed by a bus journey of around two hours to Fethiye.

Where does the journey begin and end?

The journey begins at Fethiye Harbour in Fethiye, Turkey, at 10:30 AM. The tour concludes at the same location, Fethiye Harbour, between 1:30 PM and 2:00 PM.

What are the cabin arrangements like?

Couples are assigned their own private cabins. For solo travelers, cabin arrangements may vary, and you could be placed in a twin, double, triple, or quad cabin, depending on the group composition. If you’re booking as a couple, please make sure to mention this in the notes section during your reservation.

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.

Am I allowed to bring my own alcohol on board?

Boat licensing regulations prohibit bringing your own alcohol on board. However, reasonably priced drinks can be purchased on the boat using a tab system, which must be settled on the day of check-out.

What meals are included during the trip?

All of our gulet cruises include a traditional Turkish breakfast, a vegetarian lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner as part of the package. Upon request, we can accommodate Jain, Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, and Kosher dietary preferences. You’re welcome to bring additional snacks for the trip. Drinks are available for purchase on board using a tab system, which is payable on the day of disembarkation.

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.

Will towels be provided on board?

Beach towels are not supplied on board, so we kindly ask guests to bring their own for beach use. Bath towels are available but are not intended for use at the beach. If needed, towels can be easily purchased from shops in towns across Turkey.

Are there any limits on air conditioning use?

Gulet boats have limited energy capacity, so air conditioning is typically used for 4-6 hours daily to conserve fuel and maintain efficiency. This also helps protect the generator and supports eco-friendly practices by encouraging natural ventilation. Running the generator overnight can be noisy and may disturb other guests, so finding a balance between comfort and sustainability is essential.
