Carian Way Sail & Hike Tour 7-Day Gulet & Trekking Adventure from Fethiye to Marmaris

DAY 2  |  Tersane Island — Aga Limanı

Cleopatra’s Bath / Martı Bay → Lydae → Aga Limanı

The gulet sails west from Fethiye along the coast, anchoring for guests to begin the day’s hike from Cleopatra’s Bath Bay (or Martı Bay depending on conditions). The trail passes through fragrant maquis scrubland before reaching the scattered ruins of Lydae, a minor ancient Lycian settlement with carved rock tombs. The hike concludes at Ağa Limanı, a tranquil natural bay where the gulet awaits for lunch, swimming, and an overnight anchor.

DAY 3  |  Ekincik — Dalyan — Kaunos

Ormancı Bay → Ada Bogazı Viewpoint → Dalyan

An early start from Ekincik takes hikers through dense pine and cedar forests from Ormancı Bay up to the dramatic Ada Bogazı viewpoint, where panoramic views stretch over the river delta and the Aegean. The descent leads into Dalyan town, where guests can take a river boat to explore the rock-cut Lycian tombs above the river, tour the ancient city of Kaunos, enjoy a therapeutic mud bath, and relax on Iztuzu (Turtle Beach). Guests return to the gulet by dinghy or local dolmuş boat.

DAY 4  |  Sailing to Marmaris

Turuç Bükü / Cennet Island → Marmaris

After breakfast the gulet sets sail southward, stopping for a leisurely lunch and swimming at the beautiful Turuç Bükü cove or the aptly named Cennet (Paradise) Island before arriving in Marmaris by evening. Guests are free to explore Marmaris marina, the old bazaar district, and waterfront restaurants at their own pace for dinner on this relaxed day.

DAY 5  |  Marmaris to Semizce Bay

Kumlubuk Bay → Semizce

Leaving Marmaris after breakfast, the gulet heads to Kumlubuk Bay for a swim stop and lunch in this sheltered sandy cove before continuing to Semizce, a beautifully remote uninhabited bay. Dinner is enjoyed on deck under the stars, with nothing but pine-clad hillsides and clear water surrounding the boat.

DAY 6  |  Göçek Bays — Hamam Bay — Sarsala

Cleopatra Bath Bay → Sarsala

The gulet departs early, stopping at Kuyruk Burnu for a scenic breakfast at anchor before reaching Batik Hamam Bay — named for the submerged ruins of an ancient Roman bathhouse visible beneath the clear water. The day’s hike runs from the Cleopatra Bath Bay area along a coastal path through fragrant maquis to Sarsala Bay, offering sweeping views over the Göçek archipelago. The gulet anchors overnight in the tranquil waters of either Bedri Rahmi or Sarsala Bay.

DAY 7  |  Fethiye Gulf — Yassıca — Samanlık Bay

Return to Fethiye

The final day is a gentle sail through the island-scattered Fethiye Gulf, with a lunch and swim stop at the beautiful Yassıca Islands — a cluster of small wooded islets perfect for snorkelling. The last night aboard is spent at the peaceful Samanlık Bay before returning to Fethiye harbour in the morning for disembarkation and transfer to Dalaman Airport.
